Christopher Robin Yohe, 40, cherished son, brother of Colin and loyal friend to many, died unexpectedly July 21st.
He was born to Marine parents, Cindy and Robin Yohe February 28, 1986.
Three months later he was on a 42-hour plane ride to Okinawa where he spent the next three years teething on rubbery squid tentacles and having his blonde hair rubbed for good luck…with a concern for pattern baldness.
Christopher followed in his parents Marine Corps legacy serving four years and three tours in Iraq as a Corporal with a Heavy Equipment Team.
With the help of Beaumont’s favorite Barista, Heather Huynh at Starbucks, Christopher received coffee and cup donations to create a camp experience…Complete with a neon logo sign Mom found online. He was very popular.
When Christopher returned to Beaumont he began his career in commercial property operations or how he eloquently described “herding cats”.
Through the years Christopher had two co-workers he called his ‘honorary Marines” because of their work ethic and talents, Howard Winkler and Bill Hart. They remain Yohe Family.
Everyone who knew Christopher will hold their own special memories in their hearts. And Michael Lindsay, Cindy’s husband will have to find another patio drinking “coffee mate”, in the heat or cold, every Saturday and Sunday.
His family has shared a private memorial and sent him to Heaven to be with his Master Gunnery Sergeant Father “Bud”.
