Christopher Charles Gross

Christopher Charles Gross, 53, of Saint Francis, Wisconsin, passed away on June 5, 2024 due to a tragic work accident. Chris was born on February 2, 1971, in Oconcomocwoc, Wisconsin to parents Nancy and Kenneth Gross. Chris grew up in North Prairie, WI and Minocqua, WI. He earned a bachelor of science degree from UW-Stevens Point in Forestry. After a short stint with a private tree service, Chris decided to go into business for himself. Chris's Tree Service started in 1998 and continued until the day he died. In 1999, Chris was doing tree work the day that he first met his wife Amy (Braun). Amy, being the outspoken person she is, asked him out. The rest was history. They married in September 2002 and proceeded to have two boys in 2003 and 2006. Chris and Amy became autism parents as diagnoses were made and had to learn the art of patience with their children very quickly. Chris was a beloved friend to many and as a self-employed arborist knew countless people. He will be remembered for his strong work ethic, laid back attitude and helper to everyone. He was a no nonsense kind of guy and lived life with zero regrets. Chris loved fishing, taking walks through parks, watching many shows, most notably Bob's Burgers and The Goldbergs, and was an avid Star Wars fan. He will be missed by many.
