With hearts full of love and sadness, we share that the Christian Music Industry lost our good friend, Chris Chicago. He went home to be with the Lord on Sunday morning, September 22nd. After a brave and long battle with cancer, Chris passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family.

Chris was the primary breadwinner of the family, and we are looking to his friends to come together with us to carry out the words of James 1:27 – the religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress. We want to help his wife and kids during this transition.

Those of us who knew Chris knew that he was the definition of warmth—a big bear hug in human form, with a heart just as huge. His presence lit up every room, and even during tough times, he never stopped caring about his friends, often putting them along with his family first.

In addition to his time on the air with WayFM, NGEN Radio, and other stations, Chris was a true visionary and entrepreneur. He helped shape the Christian Hip Hop scene as an artist manager, and also with SoFlow Radio and Rapzilla, among other endeavors.

Chris was our “Homie,” and that’s what he called everyone. He will be missed deeply, and we’ll miss hearing his “what a do, what a do, what a do!” However, we take comfort knowing his fight is over, and he is now at peace, at home in heaven. Please help us support his wife, Jessica, and his kids Aiden (16), Callie (12) , Finn (9) and Lochlan (5). Thanks!
