Chris Loveall Team Leader Keller Williams Simi Valley Chris Loveall Keller Williams Simi Valley

 

Chris Loveall past away yesterday of a possible heart attack while visiting his father.  This unexpected and sudden passing is shocking to all of us who new Chris.  Chris was a big part of recruiting me to Keller Williams Realty in Simi Valley just last year.  Chris was very supportive of the Simi Valley Moorpark Association of Realtors serving on committees and also as a director.  Please keep Chris and his family in your thoughts and prayers.  You will be missed Chris.

Ted thank you for making this tribute to Chris available for us.

Chris was an important reason that the Simi Valley office of Keller Williams has grown as fast as it has. Bigger than the average six-foot gaint, Chris and his smile were always larger than life. He was 'involved in the SV-MAR and the community as a hole. All of us & myself offer our prayer to Chirs' family, his parents, his son and his loved ones.       Jeff Bertoniere

Chris and I were just embarking on a new realatinship with Short Sales.  I spent a few hours with him on the phone regarding his recent 'change' and desire to be in a 'better place with God and with others'.  He was sincere in his desire to 'get on the straight path', and I had the opportunity to share with him about how the work of Jesus on the cross was for HIM too!

 

And then, not 2 weeks later, his life was demanded of him.

 

I will miss you Chris...and the lost opportunties we had as business partners and friends.

 

Bless you man, and I'll see you at the 'table'.

This all seems so surreal to me.  He had the gift of making you feel good just talking with him.  He would always challenge my dry sense of humor and I enjoyed our parlays so to speak.  I don't know how to take this in and comprehend it.  It just does not seem real.  I will miss you Chris.

Chris was so helpful to everyone and wanted us all to succeed in our businesses and in our family lives. He gave of himslf by being active in his comminity, in the board of realtors, and he was very committed to helping children's causes. He loved his son so, so much. His face would light up when he spoke about him.

I'm so saddened by this loss, Chris you will truely be missed. Your smile and your laughter will remain the primary thought that comes to mind when thinking about you.

Too young, too fast, too sad,

This is great tribute to Chris and his family, thanks Ted for putting this together.

I personally did not know Chris because he had left just before I joined Keller Williams. I did however hear about his great contributions towards our office and the Keller Williams family of Agents he helped mentor.

Though he will be missed, he will never be forgotten. May he rest in eternal peace with his lord and savior.

I only knew Chris for a short time while I was with Keller Williams before I left to sell timeshare.   Chris was always supportive and positive.  A man of morals and goals.  Linda Siemen put it very well - he loved all.   Sincerest sympathy, thoughts and prayers to all his family and friends.  Rest in Peace, Chris.

Chris was the team leader of our "sister office" when I was MCA in Westlake Village. He was always so verbally appreciative of Denise. I always thought she was blessed and very fortunate to have him as a TL. So great to work with and always ready to give a BIG bear hug.

Such a great guy. I am so sorry he had to go. He was one of the best and well liked where ever he went.

GOD be with you, 'til we meet at Jesus' feet! Love you, Chris!

I grew up with Chris, Kevin and thier father Paul. I will always have the fondest memories of our families camping trips together and of course the times we boys managed to get ourselves in trouble. One time will always been in my thoughts for as long as I live. Chris was a great person to be around as he had a lot of positive energy about him. My heart, thoughts and prayers are with Kevin and Paul. You'll be missed dearly my friend.

Love,

Rick

Jan and I have been out of the country and heard about Chris's passing from Paul Morris, our Regional Director.  Chris was one of our first Keller Williams agents in our Central Southern California Region, joining us in the Westlake Village Market Center in 2001.

Chris always had that big smile and had a huge, caring heart.  His sudden passing is difficult to understand but we know he is with the Lord now.  His huge presence, professionalism, Realtor/community involvement and voice will be missed.  We thank Chris for all that he did to help build Keller Williams.  We consider it a true privilege to have known Chris Loveall.  

Our prayers and thoughts are for his family and son, Brandon.

I Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who stopped by to leave comments about Chris.  Chris' services were yesterday and the Chapel was standing room only.  If you were out of town this weekend, at 5:00 to 6:00 on Tuesday July 7th, we will have a time at our office to remember Chris.  Please stop by.

The reality of Chris being gone I don't believe has still completely hit me.  How do you digest someone so close in age to you being gone with plenty of the path of life still in front of them?

Chris was someone who was larger than life, both physically and in spirit. 

I am so grateful I had the chance to know him and count myself lucky to have been counted among his friends.  I am sure that most people who he associated with considered him a friend.  That was just the kind of guy Chris was.

Like everyone else, my thoughts go to his family.  My hope is that they will be comforted by the fact that Chris touched so many in the time he had.

Oh my goodness, Ted - I had no idea.  I know he has been an integral part of the KW Team for many years and has received our Company emails and "newsletters" for quite a while.  Thank you for letting us know, I will keep him and his family in my prayers.

Hello Ted,

Thank you for the warm welcome and comment. I've fallen in love with AR, and look forward to meeting and learning through the blogs as much as possible!

I'm very sorry to hear about the loss, as it seems that Chris was a vital and vibrant part of the Keller Williams network.

Thanks again

Even though it has been a month since Chris' passing, I want to share my thoughts about him.  I met Chris when he first joined Keller Williams in 2001.  When he returned as Team Leader, he and I spoke frequently and we had a deep, respectful relationship.  Chris was a good guy and he had a great heart.  He will be missed by all who knew him.  I had a feeling that I needed to call him to check in with him in June.  One of my life's greatest regrets will be that I didn't initiate that call.  I'll see him in heaven though.  God bless you, Chris.  I hope that his son will read these emails and know that his Dad was loved and respected.  I was out of the country when they had Chris' memorial or I would have gone to show my respect to his family.  Thank you, Ted for doing this for Chris.  You are a true friend.

This is so shocking to Me.  16 months later, and I just now learned of the news about Chris.  I worked with Chris back in 95/96.

   Chris was always there to listen, always had a smile to give, and laughed alot, What a great guy. He will be missed. My prayers are with his family and friends, that they are continuing to heal from the hurt and loss.

   Chris thank you for showing up in My life, you will be missed more than you know.

I'm onboard with Karen above. Absolutely shocking!   I also worked with Chris 95/96. He feelt like a brother to me.   From after work darts, poker games, and to on the job LAN games! Ha!!  He was a sincere, clear sopken, always smiling, and most importantly, he made us all laugh!! 

I'll miss you Chris and will always remember the good times!  See you on the other side!
