Christopher Ryan Jeffreys

February 21, 1980 – May 10, 2024

Christopher Ryan Jeffreys, 45, of Post Falls, Idaho, passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind a legacy of love, loyalty, and quiet strength. Born February 21, 1980, in Denver, Colorado, Chris graduated from Golden High School in 1998 and later earned a Bachelor’s degree in Network Security—a field in which he thrived. For the past 17 years, Chris worked remotely for SolarWinds, where his dedication and technical expertise earned him the respect and admiration of his colleagues.

On January 27, 2007, Chris married Melissa, the love of his life. Together, they built a home filled with laughter and warmth in Post Falls, raising two beloved children, Abigail and Parker. Chris was a devoted husband and a hands-on, loving father who treasured every moment with his family.

A die-hard sports fan, Chris was a proud supporter of the Colorado Avalanche and Denver Broncos. He was a long-time season ticket holder for the Spokane Chiefs, cherishing the time spent at games with family and friends. Summers were often spent at Priest Lake, where Chris found joy in helping his in-laws build their dream home—always ready with a tool in hand and a smile on his face.

Chris had a kind, gentle spirit and was always willing to lend a hand. His loyalty, humility, and quiet humor made him someone people naturally turned to. He is survived by his wife of 18 years, Melissa; daughter Abigail; son Parker; mother Cindy (Larry) McDonald; father Jerry Jeffreys(Cheryl); brother Travis Jeffreys; grandmother Gwen; and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

A celebration of Chris’s life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honor Chris by spending time with your loved ones, cheering for your favorite team, or lending a helping hand to someone in need—just as he would have done.
