Mr. Heuss was born Nov. 16, 1997, to Michelle Whitney, of Lake Mills, Wisc., and the late Jeff Heuss. Chris was born in Gallatin and lived in Portland.

He worked at Dollar Tree in Huntingdon and was going to the University of Memphis-Lambuth Campus in Jackson. He was taking classes toward his BA in Photojournalism. During his free time, Chris enjoyed hanging out with his friends. From a very young age Chris loved cars and could tell you what kind it was. When his mom had to take him to work at Advance Auto Parts because there was no one to watch him, Chris would impress his mom’s co-workers. All the workers at Advance Auto Parts loved Chris. In fact, everyone who met Chris feel in love with him. He had such a loving caring spirit.
