Christopher G. Coolidge

Age 38, formerly of Hamilton and Ross, passed away September 17, 2012 unexpectedly in Kettering, OH. He was born September 3, 1974 in Hamilton, the son of Christopher G. and Karen Coolidge. On August 31, 1996 Chris married Heather J. Burton in Hamilton. He was a Veteran of the United States Air Force and was employed by Avon and most recently at the General Electric Money Corporation. Chris was known for his laid-back, respectful personality, until it came to sports. From Little League Baseball, Football and Basketball he became a little competitive. This was apparent, especially in the ability to always perform to his very best... with modesty. As a graduate of Ross High School, he will always be respected for his drive in contributing with his teammates, to put Ross Sports on the map as a future threat, while never disrespecting his competition. Chris was an avid Bengals and Reds fan who always believed in rooting for the home team. He never forgot his roots making the best of every situation. Bottom line...Chris, was a likeable and stand-up guy. His legacy will live on through his family, especially his son Caden, who was Chris's Heart and a true image of himself. He always strived to be respected in every angle of life and demonstrated passion and commitment to "be your best". Chris you are respected and will be deeply missed by all who knew you.

Chris leaves behind his wife, Heather (Burton) Coolidge; his son and "Star", Caden; mother, Karen Tussey; father, Christopher Coolidge, Sr.; Jeremy (Tricia) Coolidge and Dustin Tussey; and many other family and friends. He was preceded in death by his Grandma, Ida Lusk.
