Michael Alan Chrisman, age 42, born April 9, 1976, in Oklahoma City passed away Saturday March 9th, 2019 and will be laid to rest next to his beloved mother on March 15th, 2019 at the Resurrection Cemetery.
Growing up, to say that Michael was wild at heart would be an understatement. He was also passionate and authentic, which is something we can all appreciate. What you saw was what you got. What we loved most about Michael, however, was the essence of who he was as a person. He was the perfect example of what it means to care for others, and he met the needs of others whenever he could. Although his life was riddled with hardship and missteps, he knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that his family loved him through it all. In return, there was no doubt that he loved his family and would have done anything for them. Anyone who was a close friend to Mike aka (white Mike) would testify that he was a ton of fun to be with and that he knew what real friendship was all about. His faithfulness, protective nature, and goofy sense of humor is something that we will all miss.
He is survived by children, Michael Crook, and Paytlynn Tritt; his father, Gary Chrisman Sr; siblings, Gary (Heidi) Chrisman Jr, Laura (Bobby Sr.) Riley, and Michelle (Anthony) Gordon; half-siblings, Conner and Caroline Chrisman; stepbrother, John Arvay; his nieces and nephews, Bobby Jr., Jasmine, Anthony, Caprie, Caleb, Callie, Camryn, and Miranda; his godmother, Muriel Green; along with his beloved dog, Junior; and lastly a host of aunts, uncles and cousins. He will be joining his deceased mother, Celeste Arvay, and his grandparents, Buzz and Fern Chrisman & Willard and Elizabeth Hilton.
