He was born in Biddeford on May 30, 1989 a son of Robert and Marie Clark-Colman. Chris graduated from Thornton Academy, Class of 2007. While at TA, he learned to weld, a trait he continued to use and also lettered in football, his favorite sport. He went on the University of Maine at Orono receiving a Bachelor’s Degree in Biotechnology and in Chemistry in 2011.
He was employed as a manager for Powderhorn Campground in Old Orchard Beach for over 10 years. Most recently he started his new career for Jackson Labs in Bar Harbor.
His hobbies included gaming, knife throwing, target shooting and boating at Camp Laughing Loon on Little Ossipee Lake. He enjoyed going out to eat and to the movies with his best friend Zack and hanging with his dog Tucker and family. He also volunteered for In-A-Pinch Non Food Pantry for over 20 years.
Chris had two favorite sayings “It is what it is” and “That’s a tomorrow problem.” Through his teachings in life, our family was able to create many wonderful memories that will remain in our hearts forever. He will be sadly missed. Our family wants to remind others that his short time with us is to be celebrated as we hold his dear memory of Chris’s gentle spirit.
