He received his Bachelors of Mechanical Engineering from The Ohio University in Athens, OH. Most recently Chris worked as a Telecommunications Engineer for Shentel, headquartered in Edinburg, VA.

Sahr (Sarah) of Tunis, Tunisia; nieces and nephew: Meghan Sahr, Nathaniel Sahr (Zoe) and Abigail Sahr; and his cat Booger.
Chris was known for his unique approach to repairing automobiles, his black belt in Tae Kwon Do, his ability to fix anything with duct tape, WD-40, or a bigger hammer, his skilled pickings of the guitar and banjo, and his dedication to his wife and children. Chris was called home on April 2, 2024. A celebration of his life will be held at Church of New Beginnings, Moyock, NC, where he was a founding member, at 1pm on Saturday, April 6, 2024.

Losing a parent can be one of the most profound griefs that we face. My heart aches for you and your family. I pray God's peace wraps around you all!
Mr. Chris, I want to thank you for the wisdom + love you showed my husband and I throughout these years. He speaks so fondly of the car wisdom and fun times you two shared. Those moments are very precious to him. We love you so much. It is an honor to know you & be loved by you. To your family whom we also love so dearly: we wrap you in prayer and lift you up! Chris lives on in the unity of your family and you can see how much he loves you guys by simply just being around each of you. You are filled with such an amazing spirit. We LOVE YOU! -Samantha & Keaton Culberson

Ann and family. Bud and I are so sorry for your loss. Praying for God's comfort to surround you all at this time.
I’m so deeply saddened to learn of Chris’ death. He and I both worked at Ntelos and later Shentel. He was a pleasant and friendly person to be around. I joked with him because he looks so much like one of my nephews and he occasionally would call me "Uncle". I wish his family peace and comfort as you grieve.
I am so sorry to learn of your dad's passing. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.
I've worked with Chris for a number of years and can say for certain that he will be sorely missed. My prayers are with his family.

My deepest condolences to you all. I worked with Chris for many years at both nTelos and Shentel and like many have said, he was always kind, joyful, always willing to help, listen, and laugh. Above all, he loved his family and his Savior. Praying for the Peace of Christ to be with you all and that the Hope of the Resurrection will sustain you from now until that Day when Christ makes all things new.
Our hearts ache for your family over the loss of Chris. He was truly one of a kind and a very loving family man. The Vahles have enjoyed many fun times with Chris and the Sahr clan over the years. Ken especially admired Chris' unique repair techniques and will always remember working together at N'Telos and the fun times they had dressing up as "Super Zeroes" for Fred's birthday. He touched all our lives and we are grateful to have known him. RIP Chris.
