Chris’s Story

Site created on July 5, 2020

On June 1, 2020 Chris was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer (stage 4).  It is one of the deadliest forms; the average prognosis for this type and stage of cancer is not great. He was given only a few months to live. However, with true warrior spirit, he lived another 2 years. He was able to see his youngest daughter graduate high school, celebrate his retirement, spend time with his grandson, and enjoy many countless special moments.  Your support and encouragement has been incredible, and we appreciate you more than we can say. 

Thank you for visiting.
Sincerely,
Christen Ellrich

Request for Memories and Stories

Journal entry by Christen Ellrich —

This Thursday, May 18 will mark 1 year since Dad passed away. If anybody has any anecdotes or stories you don’t mind sharing about him, please reply to this post, or email me at christenellrich@gmail.com so I can share those memories with my family. I desperately want to keep his memory alive rather than mourn the loss. 

Thank you,

Christen Ellrich
