Chris Bogiages loved being a husband, father, and friend. He was never defined by his disease, but by his sharp wit and the care and dedication he put into all of his relationships. Diagnosed in 2014, Chris was always honest when he said "Parkinson's sucks". The dementia made things harder, but there was never a moment where Chris faced it alone. He was constantly surrounded by friends, family, and caregivers who became friends. Chris tried his very best to give other PD patients a better life by participating in multiple research studies, and donating his brain to Goizueta ADRC for Parkinson's research in hopes that he can extend anyone else's quality time with their family.

To honor Chris, find joy where you can, laugh at yourself when you can't, and never lose your sense of humor.
