Very saddened by this news and sending much love and condolences to Donna, Kylie, Colton, family and friends during this trying time. As my mentor, Chris paved my scientific career and taught me so very much. All starting from a high school intern to my WVU PhD through my first job. I’m forever grateful for the opportunities he opened for me and life lessons shared through his guidance and encouragement. In my thoughts and prayers. Shawna Jackman Gangi
