Support the Packard Family

COVID-19 is having a devastating impact on families and communities across the country and around the world. We know that all too well now. On Thursday, October 15, 2020, Chris Packard passed away at the age of 59 from the effects of COVID-19. He left behind his wife and four children.
Upon hearing of Chris’s passing, we immediately felt a deep sense of loss. Tragically we have lost a friend, a brother, a father, a husband too soon. Chris touched so many of our lives, it is hard to imagine a world without him in it.
Chris was a music fanatic. From Led Zeppelin to classical composers (on Sundays) to the Allman Brothers Band, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Rush, Government Mule, and Joe Bonamossa, he loved music, and could never get enough of it.
Chris loved cars. One of his first cars he owned when he was younger was a Ford Mustang and it was always a dream of his to own a 1967 Shelby Mustang. Why this car in particular can be easily explained by simply watching the movie, 'Gone In 60 Seconds' to understand why.
He was a fan of the outdoors. Living in California, he took every opportunity to go hiking, seeing the redwoods, the beaches and old Spanish missions. In Utah, the view of the mountains, sitting outside his house in the evening, simply to enjoy the stillness and quiet of the freshly fallen snow. In Texas... He complained that it had none of the above.
In defense of his complaints, he never acted in his own self interest when it came time to make decisions for his family. He willingly gave up all of that in California to move to Utah for work and make sure to provide for his family. From Utah to Texas, he again moved to where he could best support and care for his wife and children.
His example is a legacy to his friends and family who suffer through the heat and humidity of Houston summers.
This campaign was set up in response to the many requests from those looking to help Chris's family. The money raised through this page will help alleviate the financial burden left by his sudden passing, such as assisting with funeral expenses and provide financial support to his wife and children during this critical time. Any amount of donation will help.
Chris will be forever remembered by his wife, children, sisters, father, extended family, and friends. He will be dearly missed, never forgotten.
I created this campaign as a friend of Chris's. The beneficiary of all donations is Chris's wife.
