Christopher Todd Alvord, also known as “Alvy” passed away peacefully in his sleep August 3, 2015 of natural causes.
Chris was born in Ogden, Ut on May 25, 1965 to Pam and Dee Alvord. He attended school in Ogden and graduated from Bonneville High School in 1983, he also graduated from Weber State College. Chris served a Spanish-speaking mission in Los Angeles, CA for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
In his lifetime Chris lived in Utah, Maryland and for more than the past 10 years he has been living in Wendover, Nevada. He loved the beauty of the desert and could always be found exploring the surrounding area on one of his motorcycles. He loved the outdoors. He was a history buff, any time he was on vacation he would go out of his way to find local history museums to learn more that the average person would. He loved making friends with locals wherever he went.
Chris was a computer wizard, long after he left a job selling them he continued to fix and build them.
At the time of his death Chris was working at the Toana Vista Golf Course. He had a knack for making a living by doing what he loved with the people he loved. Chris is survived by his wife Sherri, children Stefini, Rikki and Jaison; the light of his life, his granddaughter Sammie; parents Pam and Dee Alvord; brother Brook (Tanya) Alvord; nieces, nephews, cousins and many many friends.
He was preceded in death by his sister Amy Alvord, grandparents and nephew Jack Alvord.
The family would like to especially thank all Chris’ friends in Wendover for all they have done. In lieu of flowers feel free to make a donation to Toana Vista Golf Club beautification fund. The next time you’re on a golf course think of Alvy by picking up a piece of trash, fill in a divet or fix a ball mark.
A graveside service will be held Tuesday, August 11, 2015 at 11a.m. at the Wendover Cemetery.
