Christopher Small

Christopher Phillip Small, age 49, passed away on Thursday, January 25, 2024 at his home near Idaho Springs, CO. Chris was born on November 6, 1974, in Salida, CO to parents Phillip Small and Joanne (Fleury) Stenger. He graduated from Pacelli High School in Stevens Point, WI. During his purposeful life, Chris brought joy to the lives of many including family, friends, coworkers, and even many strangers.
Chris is survived by his father, Phillip Small, and wife Karen; his mother, Joanne (Fleury) Stenger; sister, Sara (Small) Jilbert; brother-in-law, Todd; their daughters, Morgan and Sydney; brother, Richard Nicklaus, and his wife, Crystal; step siblings Brian, Robert, Rebecca, Jan, and spouses; numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins; his best friend, Jeremy Terrazzi; and of course, his other best canine friend, Una.
After holding jobs with DeLine Box Company, and the Breckenridge Building Center, Chris finally found himself in his element working for Jimmy and Crystal at Allied Towing. He embraced the challenge of each new call, and quickly became a part of the Allied brotherhood. His motto was "We're just people helping people, baby!" Chris eagerly accepted each new call and each new challenge.
Chris will be remembered for his contagious smile and his odd sense of humor. He was full of life and anyone who crossed Chris' path immediately fell in love with his personality. He will be deeply missed by the family and friends he left behind and all others whose lives he touched.
A celebration of life will be held at the Elk's Lodge, 1600 Colorado Blvd., Idaho Springs, CO 80452 on Saturday, February 24th at 12:00pm.
