Christopher Robert Toth
March 2, 1993 - August 1, 2019
Christopher Robert Toth. His name alone makes a sentence that means so many things. Love. Friendship. Son. Brother. Friend. Listener. Genuine. Silly. Busy minded. Adventurer. Hiker. Gamer. Advice giver. Genius. Entrepreneur. Determined. Life of the party. Authentic. Giver.
Christopher bounded into the world on March 2, 1993 and was tragically and suddenly taken from his family, friends, and this earth far too early, on August 1, 2019. He touched so many lives and was a light to many whom he crossed paths with. Christopher was a forever friend to all, never missing an opportunity to jump into a conversation with someone new, leaving with a new friend and plans to hang out. Christopher was one of the hardest workers that we know. He was always willing to do the foot work, accounting work, computer work, and really any other kind of work that was necessary to get the job done. If a friend or family member was in need, Chris would be the first one to hop in his car and drive any distance to get there in a jiffy, often with a cigarette in hand and puppy Bondy in the car, to pick you up and offer to buy you a coffee, some food, or a drink. '
Christopher has been a giver and mediator since day one. Even as a child, if there was a conflict, he would be the first one to analyze the situation and come up with a plan to make sure everyone benefited from the outcome. He was the cuddle king, little spoon, and space invader. He had a heart that could encompass the world in love.
Christopher’s work ethic was one to admire and aspire to mirror. No obstacle or situation could ever stop him from reaching his goal. He accomplished many things throughout his life but poured his life into the founding and maintaining of Select Sound Entertainment. He was willing to scoop up his life in Salt Lake City, drive over 1,000 miles and plant himself into Springfield, Missouri, where he built and managed the Complex event venue. His determination, randomness, kindness, vulnerability, love, silliness, and transparency are traits to look up to and strive to be like.
Christopher leaves behind his parents Scott and Robyn Toth; his brother and sister-in-law Ryan and Katie Toth, sister and brother-in-law Megan and MJ Tineo; his Oma (grandma), grandparents Bob and Betty Toth, grandma Judith Blanock; aunts and uncles Jeff and Tina, and Dave and Shelly; his cousins Josh Toth, Sean and Megan Storey (Hazel and Zakk), and Jesse Storey (Daisha and Oceanna), along with countless friends who quickly became his family. He joyfully joined his Nanny and his Papa in heaven.
Our Christopher, Chris, Phiffer, Chreespher, best buddy, bubby, and Chrissy Pig, we will love and miss you every day for the rest of our lives. Your legacy, love, and memory will live on in our hearts and in our lives.
A celebration of his life will be held on August 10, 2019 at Risen life Church (2780 E 3900 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84124) at 3:00 P.M. If you would like to come share your memories, come as early as 2:30 to visit with the family in the same location.
In Loving Memory
My deepest sympathies tomyour family during this time of loss. I had the privilege to work with Chris as part of the security team at the Complex here in Springfield. Though I knew him for a short time I will always remember his trusting and loving personality...of course durring shows he was all about business but he was a great man and will be missed. He was genuine person and we became a family not just co workers because Chris wanted that type of relationship. One of my favorite memories of Chris was when we split the Coco Loco Chocolate bar challenge and ventured into the valley of painfully hot just to say we did it. I'm gonna miss him. Much love from my family to yours J. Michael Hasty

Oh my gosh, I am so saddened to see an obituary for Chris. I have not read the paper in weeks because I have been on vacation. So I was shocked to find his picture starring up at me. I have not seen this bright student who spent countless hours in my ELP classroom since he was in 6th grade. It brought tears to my eyes and a sadness in my heart to find him in this way. I wish that I had kept in touch some how. He was a sweet young man who had a love for learning that was admirable. He put in many overtime hours on any extra task I could come up with. He was over time, high on my list of favorites, even though teachers aren't supposed to have them. My deepest sympathies to Chris 's family and friends. Kasi Parara ELP teacher Highland Park

Chris was a very good friend of my brother while they were in middle school. He was always the kindest person you had ever met, always willing to include everyone in any game or activity. He was a truly great soul. The news of his passing is shocking and I send all of my love and condolences to his family and friends and anyone else impacted by his passing.

“To My Brother,Boss, and most important a best friend. When I met you the first time I was nervous 18year old kid you gave me a chance watching a door and from their saw my skills and gave me an opportunity to do more. You answered all my calls and texts when I was happy, excited, and most of all when I was down. You accepted me for who I was and always was their for me. It’s hit me hard knowing I can’t call my favorite person to always give me a smile when I’m down or give me advice on how times will get better. I wish I could have been there for you and said goodbye in person but I know I’m some way you would have known I would have been a big baby and probably hogged the show and cried to much. I will miss you forever Chris and like I always say at the end of each night “love you boss man see you next time” crazy thing is I didn’t know it was are last time.” Love you big bro, Simon Khatete Wanyonyi thanks for everything.
