Christopher Relph
1989-2018
It is with great sadness that the family of Chris
Relph announces his passing on April 2nd, 2018
at the age of 29 after a brief and courageous battle with
cancer.
Born and
raised in Bathurst, NB, Chris made his home in Fort McMurray for the
past 10 years where he has been employed as a firefighter/EMT for the
Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo Fire Department Local
2494.
Chris was a
hard-working man who was dedicated to his job, young family and his
love of hockey. He will forever be remembered as an amazing
husband, father, son and friend to anyone who had the pleasure of
meeting him.
He is
survived by his loving wife and best friend Sherianne (Shantz); his
2-year old daughter Rylie Anne; his parents Donald & Nancy
(LeBlanc) of Bathurst, NB; his grandmother Royetta LeBlanc also of
Bathurst; his father and mother-in-law Geoff and Shelley Shantz,
brother-in-law Trevor Shantz, and sister-in-law Erynn Shantz all of
Fort McMurray. He also leaves behind many aunts, uncles,
cousins and friends.
The family
would like to thank the nursing staff of the Northern Lights Regional
Heath Center, the Fort McMurray Fire Department, and a special thank
you to Dr. John O’Connor for all of their support during
this very difficult journey.
A firefighter
memorial service will be held on April 19th at
2pm at Shell Place in Fort McMurray.
Memorial
donations may be made to: Friends of the Fort McMurray Firefighters
Charities Fund. Donations can be dropped off at
any local Fort McMurray fire hall or mailed to Local 2494 Union
