Christopher Paul Phelps (Doss), born June 21, 1961: survived by his father, Gene Doss and stepmother Diann, of Dudleyville; stepfather, Brigham Phelps of Florida; brother Adrian Doss, and sister-in-law, Nichole, of Aurora, Colorado; sisters, Kim Doss-Cortes, of Tucson, Arizona, Beth Lake and brother-in-law Michael of Texas, Lori McClain, of Safford; beloved cousins Ann and Byron Humble, and nieces and nephews who loved him dearly.
He was predeceased by his mother, Frances Martha Phelps (Burk); grandparents, grandmother and grandfather Burk, Margaret Richardson, and Milton Doss, and brother, Mark Phelps.
He was born in Tucson and grew up in Phoenix. He managed a video/record store and because of that, he was able to attend many concerts and meet the performers backstage. Chris also owned his own business and later worked at the bowling center in Morenci. After he became disabled, he moved to Globe to live near his dad, ever hopeful for a kidney transplant.
He loved family gatherings, puns, playing word games with his sister and niece, riding bikes with his grandnephew who was all of 5 at the time, Jimmy Buffet, and Buddy Holly. He had a passion for bowling. He adored his cats too, especially Butterscotch.
He will be missed.
