At 17, he formed a band with his friends called “Distorted Penguins”. They played many shows and produced an album. Christopher was proud of his Makah heritage and participated in many canoe journeys beginning in 1995. He was a family man who loved and cared for his three sons very much.
In addition to his parents, he is survived by his three sons, Wyatt, David, and Jaxon; one sister, Sabrina McQuillen Hill and husband, Jacob; two brothers, Randy Rondeau and wife, Adriana Russell; James Hendricks and wife, Thresa; countless extended family members.
