Christopher John Overland
September 14, 1956 – June 20, 2021
Christopher John Overland passed away unexpectedly on June 20, 2021.
Chris was born in Spokane, Washington, on Sept. 14, 1956. He grew up, and remained in Spokane until 1981 when he relocated to Moses Lake, Washington, to begin a career in maintenance and engineering at Carnation. In 2014, Chris began his new career as general manager of the MLIRD, where he remained until his passing.
In 1986, Chris married the love of his life, Paula. Chris and Paula went on to have four kids in John, Nicholas, Stephanie and Alysha. Chris always stated that his greatest accomplishment was the family that he and Paula had created. His wife and children remained his pride and joy until the day that he passed on.
Chris’ favorite activities included fishing, golfing and taking trips with his family to the Oregon Coast. No matter what the occasion, if Chris’ family was together, his heart was at its fullest.
Chris is preceded in death by his father Arthur, mother Carmelita and brother Raymond.
Chris is survived by his wife Paula, sons John and Nicholas, daughters Stephanie and Alysha and brother Mark.
Chris will be greatly missed by all of his family and friends.
Our hearts are broken without you, Dad. Until we meet again.
