Christopher R. Settles, age 46, of Alma, passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 23, 2024 at his home with his loving family at his side following a hard and courageous battle with cancer while under the care of St. Croix Hospice.
He was born on April 19, 1978 in Belleville Illinois to Charles Robert and the late Denise Lynn (Blue) Settles.
Growing up in a military family, Chris attended various schools until his graduation at Tremper High School in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He obtained his associate’s degree in applied science construction management technology at Southern Illinois College.
In September of 2019, Chris was united in marriage to Sherry Rose Adank in Alma. To this loving union, two precious children were born.
Chris was employed with the US Corp of Engineers for seventeen distinguished years, working for three Corps of Engineers districts over his career with Louisville, Walla Walla, and the St Paul District. His dedication to his profession and construction of federal projects resulted in his appointment to the contracting officer’s position with the St Paul District based in Winona, MN.
Chris was a life member of the Alma Rod and Gun Club.
He enjoyed hunting and fishing or just being outdoors experiencing nature and all its beauty.
Chris had a wonderful sense of humor and would love to share a dad joke or make up his own lyrics to songs on the radio, even at the end, his sense of humor didn’t waiver. Beyond his sense of humor, Chris also had a calming personality and would find a way to put you at ease during difficult moments.
Chris loved to cook, especially behind the grill. He truly was the epitome of a grill master.
Chris will be remembered as a true, honest and loving husband. The love for his wife, Sherry, was unwavering and unconditional. Of all his accomplishments and awards he earned during his life, Chris’ greatest and the most cherished rewards of his life were when he became a daddy to two precious children.
Chris will be sadly missed by his loving wife, Sherry and his two precious children, Charlie and Nora; his father, Charles; siblings, Andy (Caiti) Settles and Erin Settles; parents in law, Ron and Kathy Adank; brother-in-law, Gary (Kelly) Adank; sister-in-law, Bobbi Sue (Jon) Frye; also by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
Chris was preceded in death by his mother, Denise; uncle, David Blue; paternal and maternal grandparents.
