CHRIS CHANEY

In Memory of Co-Founder

CHRIS CHANEY

1954-2022

On Tuesday, August 30th, 2022, we lost our beloved Co-Founder Chris Chaney. Chris was a hero and warrior for the Parkinson Disease community. He was a PD fitness advocate who taught PD classes at Coors Core Fitness which led to his partnership with Lisa Coors and Jakki Hunter to start Parkinson Community Fitness in 2017. He loved his fellow PD buddies and supported them during their entire battle with PD. Chris had a passion for people. He loved to sit and talk with the PCF members and share his stories of success. He enjoyed sharing the SANE model (Support, Attitude, Nutrition and Exercise), a model he lived by daily.

 

Known as “The Legend,” Chris will be missed as our hero but never forgotten. His wife Heather has been his support system and full time care partner for many years along with their children, grandchildren and their dog.

 

Chris’s legacy will continue through the walls of Parkinson Community Fitness. His Co-Founders, board members, staff and volunteers will keep living his dream to provide his Sanctuary to Persons With Parkinson’s Disease.
