Obituary for Kristopher Sharp
Kristopher Edward Sharp, 33, of Elkview, passed away Friday, December 27, 2019.
Kris was a 2004 graduate of Herbert Hoover High School where he was a member of the football, wrestling, and track teams. He attended Antioch Advent Christian Church. He loved music and movies and could be relied upon to recall minute facts and details about both. He enjoyed cooking, reading classic books and history. Kris knew lots of sports trivia and was a fan of the Indianapolis Colts. He enjoyed analyzing everything, was always up for a good debate and could recount, in his words, “Lots of useless information!” Kris had a lifelong love of animals and had a dream for there to be no kill shelters in every state.
He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Frank and Mary Atkinson, and paternal grandmother, Audrey Marie Nidy Sharp.
Kris is survived by his loving family: parents, Joe and Jennifer Sharp; son, Liam; sisters, Katie (Nick) Feola and Karie (Chuck) Boggs; paternal grandfather, Thomas Sharp Sr., his nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins. The family would also like to recognize his lifelong best friend, Andy Anderson.
