Christopher S. Hoover, 46, of Defiance, passed away on Tuesday, May 11, 2021 at ProMedica Toledo Hospital, with his loved ones by his side.
He was born on July 21, 1974 to George and Helen Sue (Humbert) Hoover in Anaheim, California. On September 26, 1998 he married Mandy (Ussery) Hoover, who survives.
Chris was a member of Defiance Church of the Brethren, and Defiance Eagles #372. He worked at Koester Corp. in Napoleon for over 25 years, and recently at Johns Manville in Defiance for three years. Chris was a talented marksman and was amazingly mechanically inclined. He enjoyed spending time with his family and drinking beer at the Eagles, and talking about Dodge cars, especially his red Charger SRT. Chris will be sadly missed by his family and many good friends.
Chris is survived by his loving wife, Mandy Hoover, his father, George Hoover, and his children, Shane Hoover, Emma Hoover, and Rylee Hoover, all from Defiance. He also leaves behind his brother, Jonathon Hoover, his special brother-in-law, Brad (Stacy) Ussery, all of Defiance, and his cat "Buddy".
He was preceded in death by his mother, Helen Sue Hoover.
