He married his faithful and loving wife, Jennifer (Chalman) Slaton on January 4, 2003, in Manhattan, Kan. The love Chris and Jenny shared with each other was shown every day. They were best friends. They could joke about anything and even in the depths of their despair, could always rely on each other. Their relationship was the textbook example of true love and devotion.

Chris was often known for his big laugh and wonderful sense of humor. He could brighten up a room with just his presence. He was a devoted son, brother, husband and father to his family. He was a great friend to all that knew him and will be deeply missed by all the lives he touched.
Survivors include, his wife, Jennifer (Chalman) Slaton and his three children, Sydney, Carter and Cole Slaton, all of Olathe, Kan.; his parents, John and Tina Wery, of Junction City, Kan.; and his sister, Maura Wery, of Kansas City, Mo.
