Chris lived most of his life in Jordan and went by the nickname "C". He was well known for wrestling from elementary to middle school at Jordan-Elbridge. Chris won several trophies, played football, and had many friends. Uncle Lon would take Chris to wrestling tournaments almost every Saturday morning growing up. As a child every summer, Chris loved to dive and flip off the diving board at the Jordan Memorial Pool. Entering his teenage years, he and his friends would go to the Rock Quarry, and spent time at the shutes. They would always go to the state ditch bridge and do flips. Chris was a talented artist and made beautiful illustrations for his family, especially for his little sister Mikayla who shared the same hobby. He knew how to enjoy life by going fishing with his brothers Nick, Jeff, his Uncle Jeff, and cousins. He also would go skateboarding around the village of Jordan with his good friends. Oftentimes, he enjoyed garlic knots from Towpath Pizzeria and making root beer floats from Family Dollar. He never missed the Jordan Memorial Parade each year and loved the apple cider and donuts from the Fall Festival. Chris was an awesome uncle to Ayden and loved spending time by riding bikes and bicycles with him. As a grandson, Chris and Grandma Marilyn meant a lot to each other, and they were two peas in a pod. Christopher loved his whole family.
In 2009, Chris was employed by Apple Roofing Corp. and worked closely with his father and his brother Jeff Platt. Briefly he worked at International Wire in Jordan and returned to Apple after leaving. Chris was a hard worker with tremendous grit. To friends and family, he was a positive force in their lives and was loved, especially for his smile. He will be deeply and greatly missed by all of them. Christopher was beyond a wonderful son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend. Chris's life motto always was "Mind over matter".
Thank you to Apple Roofing Corp. and Brian and Dave for the generous contributions in our time of need.
