Chris Workman

Sgt. Chris J. Workman, age 33, of Boise, Idaho, died on April 19, 2012, in southern Helmand Province, Afghanistan. 

He was based at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. 

He and three other soldiers were killed when their helicopter crashed in bad weather while flying to the scene of a suicide bombing. 

Chris grew up in Rupert and graduated from Minico High School. He graduated from Idaho State University with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. He later worked in Boise as an auto glass technician before joining the Army.

High school officials describe Chris as a good kid. 
Mary, pray for Chris

Military officials describe Chris as a natural leader who planned to become an officer. He is also described as responsible, calm and hard-working, performing high above his rank. 

Friends describe him as helpful, sympathetic, energetic and a family man. Others describe him as a loyal friend. 

Family members stated that Chris was a highly energetic, self reliant man, who will be forever missed.

Chris is survived by many loving friends and relatives, including his parents Anna and John Workman; and his wife, Camille and stepson, Cole. 

Let us pray that Chris Workman is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
