Obituary for Christopher Riopelle

 United States

  • Date Of Death: June 10, 2008
  • State: Minnesota

Chris passed away June 10, 2008 in Grand Forks, ND from cancer. He passed peacefully surrounded by his friends, family and his high school sweetheart and love of his life, fiancAC., Laura Sedlacek, holding his hand which was a common sight while he battled this horrible disease for two years.

He was born on Dec. 13, 1984 in Williston, ND, son of Michael “Mick” Jens and Janelle “Jan” Sue (Carik) Riopelle. Moved with his family to Devils Lake, ND in 1986 and to Warren in 1996. He graduated from Warren/Alvarado/Oslo High School in 2003. Went off to further his education at Bemidji State University and play football for the Beavers.

Chris was a highly honored high school athlete, respected by his coaches and teammates as well as his opponents. He played the game right, worked hard and gave 110% effort in whatever sport he played and that’s the way he lived his short life.

He loved to hunt and fish. Chris was the ultimate host whether at the family lake cabin on Lake of the Woods in Ontario, Canada or his trailer house in Bemidji.
