It is with shock, sadness, and very heavy hearts that we share the news of Christopher Allen Coburn’s passing. Born September 14, 1971, Chris passed away on Wednesday March 8, 2023 due to injuries he sustained in an auto accident. He was 51 years old.
He was preceded in death by his father: Cliff Coburn, his mother: Barbara Montgomery, his grandparents: George and Gertrude Lane and Henry Coburn II, his uncles: Henry (Hank) Coburn III and George Lane II, his aunt: Carol Coburn Bowes, and his cousin: Becky Coburn Sardone. He is survived by his wife of 33 years: Beverley Coburn, his daughter: Breanna Edgmon, his son: Landon Coburn, his granddaughters: Sophie and Oaklynn, his sister and brother-in-law: Darcie and Jim Grisham, his sister and brother-in-law: Shannon and Charles Hall, his sister: Kathy Cowles, his sister: Nikki Powell, his brother and sister-in-law: Patrick and Brenda Hill, his nieces: Candace Rodriguez, Amanda Rodriguez, and Christina Norstad, his nephews: Cliff and Dustin Banks, and Gary Grisham, his aunts: Deveda Coburn and Dianne Lane, his cousins: Kelly Coburn, Henry (Hank) Coburn IV, Kevin Coburn, Noel Bowes, Jim Bowes, Paula Collins, and many other close relatives and friends, too numerous to mention.
Chris was smart, funny, loyal, and if you were to ask him, handsome. He was brave, too. Except when it came to sewer crickets… those things could turn him into a little girl faster than you could blink! He’d tell you so himself. Chris was a good husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend. He could be hard, anyone who knew him would agree, but his heart was soft, gentle and kind. He loved to ride his Harley (and work on it) and he was a die hard Buffalo Bills fan. GO BILLS! He loved his dog, Lucy. He loved his friends. But most of all, he loved his family. Chris… my brother, losing you has utterly broken our hearts into millions of pieces, but we take comfort in knowing that you knew your lord and savior and that you are at peace, rejoicing with the family you missed so badly. Chris, we love you more than words can ever express. You will be missed by many and you will be remembered always.
A celebration of life visitation for Chris will be at 6:00 pm, Saturday, March 18, 2023, led by Patrick Hill.
