Chris Ellsworth

A. Chris Ellsworth died peacefully at his home April 3, 2019 at the age of 75, surrounded by his loving family.

He was known for his great sense of humor and ability to make any stranger a friend, with a smile and a joke. He worked many years alongside his sons in multiple roles. He believed in working hard from sun up to sun down and always helping those in need. He had a large family that he loved immensely, and always had time to hold a grandbaby or teach them something new. He had a passion for hunting and fishing. He fulfilled his dream of a bighorn sheep hunt and he even caught a marlin, deep sea fishing; both proudly displayed in the family's home. He also enjoyed camping and competitive games of cards, with his family. He leaves behind endless memories, love and laughter to all who knew him.

Chris is survived by his wife, Sheri Lynn Bingham Ellsworth; sister, Mary Kleinman; sons, Alan Ellsworth (Shelly), Laren Ellsworth (Kristie), Ryan Ellsworth (Rhonda), Jason Lindsteadt and Bryan Rivera (Candice); daughters, Chyleen Searle (Scott), Robyn Ellsworth, Tami Pearce (Rick) and Mandi Brevik; 35 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, Abner & Ina Ellsworth and brothers, Nell Richards and Kenneth Ellsworth.
