He was born January 3, 1985 in Monroe, LA, to the union of his parents, Marilyn Nelson Sharp and Danny Wilbur Sharp.

He was an avid fan of the New Orleans Saints. He loved duck calls and anything Drake made in camouflage. Aside from his children and family his biggest love was his dog, a yellow lab named Drake. Chris will be missed greatly and always loved.
