In Memory Of
Christopher Jay "Chris" Ginter
1978 - 2016

Christopher J. Ginter, 37, of Topeka, passed away Thursday, April 28, 2016. He was born November 29, 1978, in Topeka, Kansas, the son of Curt and Mary (Palmer) Ginter. Chris was raised in Topeka and traveled the United States extensively.

Chris married Christina S. Alvarado on May 31, 2005 in Kansas City. She survives of the home. Chirs is also survived by his five children, Isaiah, Isabella, Ed, Kathryn and Chance; sister, Nicolle Greene; and parents, Curt and Mary Ginter. He was preceded in death by his grandmother, Marlene Palmer and grandfather, Marvin L. Ginter.

Chris was employed as an estimator/assistant manager at 3 Men With a Truck and Trailer, LLC.

Chris was a very free spirited person. He knew no stranger, and loved to help everyone who crossed his path. Chris loved the outdoors, spending time with his kids, wife and family. He always found an adventure for the kids, whether it was camping after 4 inches of rain, playing in the mud, or taking the kids for driving lessons. He even bought a mini motorcycle for the kids. Boy did they go through the Band-Aids. He was always seeking his next adventure to share with those he loved. Chris loved video games, music and the list goes on and on. He worked hard, played hard and lived hard; but has finally found the peace he so desperately wanted and deserved.

Most importantly, despite any family disputes, Chris always nudged everyone to put all differences aside and come together as family.

Chris wished to be cremated. A memorial ceremony will be held at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, May 7, 2016, at Mount Hope Cemetery & Funeral Chapel, 4700 SW 17th, Topeka, Kansas 66604. A visitation for family and friends will be held one hour prior to the service.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to the Chris Ginter Children’s Memorial Fund, c/o any US Bank location.

~A Closing Thought~

Something that was said to the family in a desperate time of need has really resonated closely to something Chris would have said…

“I have been able to do well in my life. And when I can help someone else in their life, then that is God’s purpose for me. For that is why our paths have crossed”
