Son of Board Member - Jane Maki

Chris was an environmental chemist living in Charlotte NC. On Nov
5th while walking to his apartment, he was attacked, robbed, stabbed,
and left alone to die. He was 30 years old.
Chris lived life to the fullest. He was an avid reader who loved
skiing, sailing, and snowboarding. Wherever he ventured, he formed
deep and lasting friendships. He was intensely loyal; the oldest
of three, he was always deeply committed to his family. His twin
siblings were only a year and a half younger, so from childhood
on, they had the distinction of being his very best friends.
Three men who were looking for money to finance their crack habit
murdered Chris. They were arrested and on Nov.10, 1998 were allowed
to plead guilty to second-degree murder. All are serving sentences
ranging from 20-30 years in North Carolina prisons.
