Christopher Keith Geitz, 52, of Alum Creek, WV, left this world on Monday, March 2, 2020.  He was a wonderful son who was taken away from us to soon in his sleep. 

Chris worked as a chef at Berry Hills Country Club in Davis Creek and loved his job and the people he worked with.  He was an avid skateboarder who skated with the best in the business. 

He leaves behind his mother and step-father, Teri Geitz and Stephen Eilkeberry; two beautiful children, Zoe Marie and Keenan John Geitz both of Florida, who are heartbroken to have lost their dad.

Chris is now with his dad, Raymond H. Geitz, and all other family members in heaven.  He did not want to be put in the ground, so we are honoring his wishes with cremation.

We, who are left behind, are completely brokenhearted and want him to know he was loved by so many people all over the world.  I cannot imagine life without my son and best friend.  I know he is in a better place.  Chris will always be in our hearts and never forgotten. 

I want to say thank you to all of those who have contacted us.  

Good bye my son, who was my only child.   I will miss you forever.
