Chris was born June 20, 1962 in Wake County to the late Delbert Waverly and Marjorie Clifton Wallace. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Karen Spivey; and brother, Keith Wallace. Chris was a roofer by trade and took great pride in his work. He was an avid reader who enjoyed music and had a love for the outdoors. He especially enjoyed hunting and collecting arrowheads, and some of his fondest memories were made fishing along the coast with his nephew, Jordan. Chris was also a devoted NASCAR fan and enjoyed following the races. Chris had a deep compassion and unconditional love for his special needs daughter, Karen. She held a very special place in his heart, and his love and devotion to her were evident in the care and tenderness he showed her. Above all, Chris cherished the time he spent with his grandchildren, who brought him great joy and filled his heart with love. He will be remembered for the many interests he enjoyed, the memories he created, and most of all, the love and compassion he shared with his family.
