Christopher “Chris” Lumark Minor was born on Leap Day, February 29th, 1972, to Christine Minor and the late Robert Lee Minor, Sr., in Huntsville, AL. Chris was the 12th child and last baby of a loving, close family produced from his parent’s union. Chris was known for being a skilled and avid outdoorsman. He truly loved being outside in nature. He loved fishing, hunting, and being the epitome of a country boy!
Raised in New Market, AL, as a teenager he was the neighborhood barber, car tinker, and loved a good hearty meal! He was a jokester and always had his family laughing and enjoying his company. He attended Buckhorn High School and upon completion of his studies began working for Asplundh and many projects his own Tree Cutting/Stump Grinding business, “On the Grind”. He loved big trucks and equipment and collected many amazing tools for his trade. He called or came by to see his mother every morning to make sure he started both of their days just right. He loved his mother, brothers and sisters, his sons, precious granddaughter, nieces and nephews. Chris accepted Christ as his savior at the The Harvest Church in Ardmore, AL in 2013.
Chris’s sudden passing is a deep loss to his family and friends. He leaves behind to cherish his memories: his devoted and wonderful mother, Christine; his cherished sons, Christopher “Petey”, Jr., and Austin; his precious granddaughter, Xiomora; his loving brothers, Ernest, Jerry (Susie), and Robert, Jr.; his treasured sisters, Mary Ann (James), Diane, Orline, Angelina (Bob), and Barbara. He was dearly loved and valued by all of his nieces, nephews, and many cousins/extended family and friends. He also leaves behind his special friend and companion, Jessica.
Chris was preceded in death by his infant brother, Willie; and oldest brothers, David Lee and Willie Lee.
The family will have a service on Saturday, December 2nd, at 1:00pm on 191 Noles Drive in New Market, AL.
