Chip was a beloved husband, father, son, brother and friend.

Chip was born May 21, 1971, in Helena, Mont., to Kenneth and Ronda. He graduated from Helena High School in 1989. He moved to Boise, in 1991.

He met the love of his life, Tammy May, at the Western Idaho Fair, and they married Sept. 25, 1999. They were blessed with four children. He loved spending time with his kids and being part of their sports activities. He was so proud of each one of them.

He enjoyed playing softball, golfing, and bowling. He bowled several 300 games. He would not miss a NASCAR race (recording them if he had to) rooting on Jeff Gordon, his favorite driver. He enjoyed watching football especially his favorite team the San Diego Chargers. He spent his life in Montana, Utah and Idaho where he worked as a Chevy/GM Technician. At the time of his death, he was employed at the Mountain Home Auto Ranch.
