Chris Hampton

Chris Shannon Hampton, son of Kathleen (Bolton) Hampton and the late Norman Henry Hampton was born on March 23, 1957 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. He gained his wings on Thursday, January 2, 2025 at his residence in Chaffee at the age of 67 years. We know he was reunited with his beloved pup, Cedar.

He was a former Forklift Driver and Order Filler at Do It Best in Sikeston, Missouri. Chris was a man of few words, but loved to make memories in the form of trips and photos with his buddies and family. He had a love for old cars and trucks, boating, four-wheeler and atv riding, camping, and fishing. There was never a dull moment or a story left untold around a campfire with Chris and friends.

Survivors include his mother, Kathleen Hampton of Chaffee; two daughters, Casey (Brandon) Hillemann of Scott City and Shannon (Travis) Hanback of Chaffee; one brother, Andy (Jody) Hampton of Omaha, Nebraska; one sister, Linda Phillips of Oran; eight grandchildren, Caden Hillemann, Alexis Hanback, Dylan Corvick, Macy Hillemann, Larissa Hanback, Addisyn Hillemann, Abbigale Hanback, and Kai Hanback; three great-grandchildren, Cohen Hillemann, Ava Carron, and Bently Corvick; one niece and three nephews; and by his dog Doofus.

Besides his father, he was preceded in death by one niece, Andrea Hampton and by one brother-in-law, Larry Phillips.
