Tribute; Christopher T. (Chris) Bartalamay

Chris Bartalamay was born in Odessa January 26, 1969. He graduated from University High School in Spokane and from Washington State University in Pullman.

He had a huge heart. He was generous and thoughtful. He had a great sense of humor, quick wit and a handsome smile. In younger years, he was outrageously adventuresome and a bit accident prone. Chris lived life, loved people, being involved with his church and music – very loud music.

Survivors include his parents Tom Bartalamay, Patti Brady and Dave Brady, sister Anne Paschal (Eric), nieces Emmy and Finley, sister Christine Goss (Neal), nephew Jared, step-siblings David Jr., Colleen and Cindy Brady and special friend Jami Kuhlman.

He was preceded in death by step-mom Helen Bartalamay and both sets of grandparents.

A funeral service will be held Monday, July 29, 2013, at 1 p.m. at Heritage Chapel, 508 N. Government Way, Spokane, followed by a reception and preceded by graveside service at Greenwood Memorial Cemetery at noon.

Memorials may be made to his church, Trinity Lutheran, 1300 NW Lybecker, Pullman WA 99163 or the Brain Injury Association of Washington, Spokane Chapter, c/o Nick Armitage, 601 S. Division St., Spokane, WA 99202. Strate Funeral Home and Heritage Funeral Home are caring for the family. Please sign the online guestbook at http://www.stratefuneralhome.com.
