The family of Chris Schlatter is mourning his sudden and unexpected passing, a tragedy that has left his wife, Brenya Schlatter, and their three young children facing an unimaginable loss.
SUPPORT THE FAMILY - GOD BLESS YOU
Chris was remembered as a devoted husband and loving father whose greatest joy was his family. He and Brenya were raising two young boys—their eldest just six years old—and a little girl not yet two. Their days were filled with laughter, love, and the joys of parenthood.
Recently, the couple celebrated a milestone by purchasing a home where they dreamed of raising their children surrounded by love and stability. Friends say Chris worked tirelessly to provide for his family, always putting their needs and future first.
Those closest to him describe Chris as kindhearted, hardworking, and deeply committed to his role as a father—whether playing outside with his children, teaching them new things, or simply being present in their lives. His sudden absence leaves a devastating void in the hearts of his family and community.
For Brenya, the heartbreak is compounded by the recent loss of her father, Brian Burgess. Now, she faces the overwhelming challenge of raising three children while continuing her online studies and shouldering the responsibilities of maintaining their home and future.
Fundraiser to Support the Family
In response to this tragedy, family and friends have come together to support Brenya and her children. A fundraiser has been established through Venmo (@Brenya-Schlatter9063) to help cover funeral expenses, mortgage payments, childcare, and daily living costs.
Loved ones stress that every contribution—whether financial, through sharing the fundraiser link, or through continued prayers—will make a meaningful difference as Brenya navigates life without her husband.
The outpouring of support has already been significant, with messages of sympathy, encouragement, and prayer coming from relatives, friends, and community members who want to help ease the family’s burden.
A Legacy of Love
Though his life was cut tragically short, Chris leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion. His children will carry his memory forward in their laughter, smiles, and dreams, while his family and friends will cherish the time they shared with him.
The Schlatter and Burgess families have asked for continued prayers and support as they face the difficult road ahead.
Chris will be remembered as a loving husband, a dedicated father, and a man who lived for his family. His memory will forever be a blessing to those who knew and loved him.
