In Loving Memory of Chris Bancroft

In loving memory of Christopher Bancroft

The family and friends of the Bancroft family are uniting to raise money for all expenses that come with the devastating and unexpected tragedy of losing their loving son and brother, Christopher Bancroft. Any and all support there is to offer for the long road they have been on and the one that lies ahead is greatly appreciated and would be more than a blessing to this amazing family.

Chris had an amazing heart and spirit and was a life taken far too soon this past Monday at the young age of 36. His friends and family remember him as a loving son, brother, and uncle and a wonderful friend. Chris was known for his shining personality and for always having a smile on his face. He was kind, fun loving and always had a way of making someone’s day.  He had recently moved to Divernon with his girlfriend Jennifer, where they were looking forward to starting a life together. This has been such an unexpected tragedy to his friends and family, his mother Sue and his sisters Stephanie and Sarah.

Long after the support and prayers through this tough time,  one that they are far too familiar with after the loss of Ed Bancroft, Sue’s husband, just two years ago, they will continue to pick up the peices of two such unfortunate events. Sue has lost not only the love of her life, but now faces the pain of burying one of her children. Due to the tragedy of the accident that took Ed’s life, the family has already been through the pain associated with such a loss and facing yet another trying time, Chris unfortunately did not have any life insurance at this time to take care of any sudden tragedies. This family has endured so much over the last few years and would be truly blessed to have any additional stress alleviated as they come together with their loved ones to grieve.

Any contributions to help with the overwhelming fees associated with funeral costs and additional expenses would be greatly appreciated as this family is mourning the loss of two great men.

Even if you are unable to donate, please share their story so we can reach out to as many people as possible. The power of people coming together for one another can be all one needs to start the healing process through such a difficult time.
