While working for Lee County, Jimmy Abbott hired him to come work as a dispatcher for Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department. During his time at Tallapoosa County, the Tallapoosa County E-911 emergency system was implemented and Chris worked tirelessly helping to bring the 911 system to the citizens of Tallapoosa County.

He got out of Lake Martin when he moved to Macon, Georgia to continue his work as a paramedic.

Chris spent a majority of his life as a paramedic. His primary goal was to do everything he could to keep someone else’s loved one alive, without regard for himself. He was the epitome of a selfless person and had a true servant’s heart.
