Christopher Eric Jobst born August 21, 1962 in Tucson to Alois and Bernadette Jobst, passed away November 25, 2009 after a courageous struggle with Frontal Temporal Dementia (FTD) along with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). Chris was a member of the Tucson, Arizona Boys Chorus in his youth. He was introduced to the automotive industry by his father, who opened the first BMW dealership in Tucson in 1970. During his lifelong career in the technical and sales areas of BMW, he cared deeply for his many customers with whom he maintained close relationships. Chris' other focus in life was his devotion to his family, wife Amy (Volz); son, Derek (15) and daughter, Ellie (11). Everyone that came to know Chris enjoyed his gregarious, light-hearted sense of humor and his love of all things technical, a focus he began to share early on with his son, Derek. Chris was also active at Catalina Foothills Church, where he served as Deacon. The physical limitations imposed upon him from his disease never hampered his desire to persevere and to reach out as best he could to those around him. Determinedly, he recently completed the annual three mile ALS Benefit Walk at Reid Park, along with over 80 supportive team members. To the very end, he wished to be with family and friends. Chris also leaves his sister, Petra (Sender) of New York City; brother, Alois Jr. of Tucson and in-laws, Dr. Robert and Ann Volz. A Memorial Service will be held at Catalina Foothills Church, Saturday, December 5, 2009 at 12:30 p.m., 2150 E. Orange Grove Rd. Donations in memory of Chris can be made to the ALS Foundation @ www.alsa.org and/or Association for Frontal Temporal Dementias @ www.ftd- picks.org.
