Chris was a natural athlete and enjoyed playing in numerous hockey leagues, well into his 60’s-a fact that always left people in awe! Chris was also a member of the Flint Elks Lodge #222, where he loved playing golf with his buddies. Being around his family and friends, relaxing, grilling/cooking, and seeing everyone have a good time was one of his favorite pastimes. Chris was also the best husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle often referred to as the “biggest kid” of them all, as you could always find him getting the best giggles, smiles, and happy screams.

Chris is survived by his wife, Patricia Wellman; 3 daughters, Keri (Stephen) Leibfritz, Brooke (Ben) Pirmann and Chloe Wellman; beloved dog, Gordie Howe; 3 grandchildren, Kane Leibfritz, Lennon Leibfritz and Navi Pirmann; 3 siblings, Craig (Connie) Wellman, Julie Wellman and Todd Wellman; step-mother, Nancy Wellman; mother-in-law, Margaret Towne; 2 brothers-in-law, Dave Madden and Robert (Machelle) Towne; 2 sisters-in-law, Laura (Gary) Toth and Teresa Woolard; many other loving family members and good friends.
