It is with the heaviest heart that I must announce that Christopher Bolig is no longer with us. We were more than just bandmates, we were brothers from another mother. Anybody that ever saw him play drums were in awe of the thunder that he brought. When it comes to hard hitters, there was really second to none. We ostensibly learned to play our instruments together and spentwell over 10 years+ having adventures big, small and sometimes absurd. He was a fierce and a loyal friend, deeply hilarious and a true heart. An undeniable talent, he later put his dedication of craft towards the pursuit of physical fitness to astounding results. Then, he set his sights towards a career in service… pursuing a career in nursing right as the world changed and needed it most.

Almost anybody that ever met Chris came away knowing they had met somebody special. He had a unique way of focusing and making it seem like you were the only person in the world. His skills as a raconteur were beyond compare as well.

Our lives are so inexorably entwined together in so many ways, I feel empty, hollow, angry, and in deep sorrow. The world has lost somebody very, very special and far too young. He would have been 45 years old today.

His service will be private and limited to blood family. Please respect the privacy of the family in this devastating and sudden time of loss.
