Christopher Lee Layne passed away unexpectedly on August 15, 2019 at his home in Moore, Oklahoma. Chris was a light that could not be dimmed and he was fiercely loved by those around him. Chris was born on July 06, 1978 to Kathy and Ronald Layne. 


Chris leaves behind three children, Shelly and husband Brandon Corey, Kayden and Karter Layne, the mother of his children Jessica Layne, siblings Stephanie Layne-Stewart, Laura and husband Anthony Incarnato, and Amanda Layne, Dad, Ronald Layne as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his nephew Layne Garrett Strong. 


Chris served honorably for the United States Marine Corps for 12 years and would describe those as some of the best years of his life. He loved being at a lake or pool with a beer in his left hand and fireball in the other. He spent a lot of time hanging around “the creek” with his “creeky blinders” making his friends laugh and helping to melt their worries away. 


Many people have described Chris as a man with a servant’s heart, a jokester and a great friend, but before all else he was a father to three beautiful children who adored their daddy. He was a coach and a cheerleader to all three kids over the years and loved them more than anything in the world. 


Chris had a smile that was infectious and that will never be forgotten, but that smile masked the pain he felt inside. If you may be having thoughts of harming yourself please reach out to someone; a friend, a family member or even a stranger. Just seek the help you need. The heartache you leave behind from taking your own life is indescribable. Chris was deeply loved by his family and friends and is greatly missed.


A Celebration of Life will be held at 2 p.m. on Thursday, August 22, 2019 at The First Baptist Church Norman, 211 W. Comanche Street, Norman ,OK 73069.
