My nephew, Chris Killinger has been such a wonderful blessing to my niece, Lacey Killinger. He is so supportive of her endeavors, even “word of mouth” advertising for her beauty salon when she started it up. Chris and his two children, Brooklyn and Jaxon joined our family “officially” when he and Lacey were married, but they were ours way before that. We could see clearly that Chris was Lacey’s life-long love. The day they married was perfect and while it was cold on October 28, 2023, no one noticed. Since that time, their love has grown and flourished. They have become a sweet family, who all love each other.
Chris and Lacey love to go camping, but their camper was too big for their old truck, so Chris recently got a new truck that can easily handle the camper. He is very excited about it. This truck can easily pull the camper, so they are hoping to go camping more now. Over the Fourth of July, Chris; brother-in-law, Matt Miller (Matt is married to Lacey’s sister, Michelle); and one of their friends, went all out to put on a great firework show at the 
lake where they were all camping!! The guys bought a ton of fireworks and even the tools to light the fireworks off with just a button. The effect was fabulous!! The people camping next to them told them how amazing the show was!! The guys went all out because fireworks were one of Lacey and Michelle’s mom, Alena Stevens’ (who passed away on April 23, 2025) favorite things at the lake. That totally endears them to me as well, because Alena was my sister. Lacey thinks the boys look forward to doing the fireworks this way every year! That is a tradition Alena would really love. And so will any campers in the general vicinity of their camp spots.
Chris started a new job in January at Compression Leasing, which he likes a lot! Prior to this Chris was the office and purchasing manager for Atlas Aero Service, which is located at the Casper-Natrona County International Airport. I’m sure he is very happy at his new job, but I wonder if he misses all the airplane 
activity out the window of his old office. Chris is a great dad. Brooklyn is his girly girl, and she loves all things beauty, which is perfect for Lacey, who loves helping Brooklyn with her dream look. Jax, of course, loves helping his daddy do anything he is working on. They ate two of a kind. Chris and Lacey love to go to concerts, and they go quite a bit when they can. They are mostly into country concerts. And they always have a great time!! Today is Chris’ birthday. Happy birthday Chris!! Have a great day!! We love you!!
