Christopher Bonham

Christopher Teague Bonham, age 21 of Franklin, TN passed away on February 12, 2016, surrounded by his parents, sisters, brother-in-law and pastor. Teague was born in Augusta, Georgia, on June 27th, 1994. He graduated from Fred J. Page High School in 2012, where he was a member of JROTC. He was also member of Grassland Heights Baptist Church where he was active in the student ministry. Later, Teague attended ArcPro Welding School in Theodore, Alabama, receiving his welding certification in November 2014. But after giving it a lot of thought, Teague decided to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering. His true dream was a career in automotive design. Teague was a unique person, with a particular sense of humor, who loved all types of fishing, working on his car, and being outdoors. He enjoyed camping with his friends, hunting and target shooting, and educating himself on different species of fish and reptiles.
More than anything, Teague wanted people to be happy and was always the first to help someone in need. On more than one occasion, he stopped to change a tire, offer a ride, clean up after natural disasters, or pick up a stray animal. If a friend or a family member was feeling down, Teague was quick to try to cheer them up. Most of all, Teague loved his family and friends, and was most content hanging out with them. A loyal friend and a protective brother and son, his death has left a void in the lives of those who knew and loved him. He will be greatly missed and never forgotten.
Teague is preceded in death by grandparents, Vern and Kitty Ermis and Gary Bonham. He is survived by parents, Jeff and Patti Ermis Bonham; grandmother, Janet (Don)
Phillips; sisters, Morgan (Graham) Hodge and Emma Bonham; girlfriend, Courtney
Belcher; numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
