Life Story / Obituary
Christopher Niles Gee age 55 was born to Gaylord and Janice Gee. Brother to Tammi (Michael) Simerson. Father to Madyson Gee and Lauren (Tyler) Profit. Grandpa to Rory Profit and the cool uncle to Logan and Elise Simerson.
He was an avid golfer and loved the outdoors. His family never had to wonder where he was during the summer as he was on the golf course with his best buddy Jeff Jenkins. He loved hunting with his Dad and with friends along the way of life. Christopher was a person that wanted to learn everyone’s name that he came in contact with, whether it was a server in a restaurant or the registration person at a healthcare facility. He made many friends all along the way. He always tried to remember these names when he saw those people in the future.
Christopher was the kind of person that would make his family laugh, "have no fear if someone sneezed Christopher would appear to bless them from across the room." He also found happiness by giving out Werther's hard candies to everyone he met as well. Christopher was a "Rockstar", a "miracle" person that fought stage 4 brain cancer (Glioblastoma Multiform- aka GBM) for 16 years, well longer than most with this horrible disease. He battled it to the end. This is thanks to Dr. James Snyder at Henry Ford Hermelin Brain Cancer Center along with many clinical trials and surgeries. Dr. Gary Ruoff was always following up on Christopher's health and concerns.
Christopher is proceeded in death by his father, Gaylord Gee along with many other family members.
An informal celebration will be held 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, Saturday, July 12, 2025 at the Traverse City Elks Lodge.
