Christopher Eugene Fairbanks "Chris" (or to his brothers and sisters "Bubby") past on May 25, 2025.

Chris was born on the White Earth Reservation and though he lived in several states for short periods of time, he returned to family and friends to complete the circle of life.

Chris was preceded in his journey by his father, Marvin Virgil Fairbanks; mother, Carolyn Sue "Kay" Brewer; brother, David Wayne Fairbanks; sister, Dorthy Laura Davis; and brother, Jessie Scott Fairbanks. Chris is survived by his eldest brother, "Ric" Richard Dean Fairbanks; brother, Jeffery Lynn Fairbanks; sister, Tracey Nicole Goodwin; sister, Brandy Lee Jones; son, Tommy Christopher Fairbanks; son, Timothy Dale Fairbanks; son, Kyle David James Fairbanks; granddaughter, Violet Mae Fairbanks; granddaughter, Jaylee Fairbanks; and many, many aunties, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Chris loved to ride his motorcycle, go trail-riding on his four-wheeler, fishing, camping and sharing a good meal with family and friends while enjoying life. Chris's greatest treasure was his family - he loved them all unconditionally and wholeheartedly. He will be missed terribly but never forgotten.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, July 11, 2025 at 1:00 p.m., with a visitation starting one hour prior, at Anderson Family Funeral Home in Mahnomen, MN.
