Kristopher “Kris” John Pence, 28, passed away Thursday, November 29, 2018. He was born November 7, 1990 in Springerville, the son of Dennis John Stover, Sr. and Michelle Renee Pence.
Kris showed us how a smile can light up the world; always giving more thought to the comfort and happiness of those around him. He was always showing support and encouragement towards others to succeed in life. His passion was the exhilaration of riding his dirt bike and the elevation in life it gave him; living his life full-throttle and to the fullest. He lived by the motto #sendit.
Kris loved his family and friends and was always pulling you in for a warm hug. His laugh and side-wise smile was infectious; the instant cure to brighten up anyone who was feeling down. Kris’ smile and light will be missed.
