Chris had a long career as a painting contractor and followed in his father’s footsteps, Dareld Maize, by having his own painting business. Chris was nominated #1 painter in Missouri during his career and he was on TV as Weatherman for a day on KY3 News. They did a special skit about his work.
Chris’ interests were restoring old muscle cars and going fishing, camping, and spending time with all of his family.
