LYVERE
Christopher Lee LyVere, husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and superhero, 
spread his wings for the last time on Thursday, October 14, 2021. Chris was born 
on April 21, 1963, the son of Jack LyVere and Patricia (Hope) Bolyard. Chris 
attended Ionia High School, Class of 1982. Chris left a permanent mark on Lyons 
and the world. He had many friends and family who spent time with him and 
watched him reach for the sky. To know Chris was to love him. Anyone who ever 
met Chris will never forge his larger-than-life presence. He was one of the 
great ones, who left behind a legacy that will not soon be forgotten. He was our 
hero.

Chris enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, flying, fishing, 
telling stories, large bonfires, and University of Michigan football. Chris 
loved his country. As a carpenter and a man of many skilled trades. The "Tool 
Man" has helped to build and rebuild structures all across this great nation. He 
had many injuries, and scars, and all the stories that went with them. We all 
have memories and experiences with him, and he will be sorely missed forever. 
Chris was the best of the best.
