Christopher Michael Bulow Barnish ae 24 went to fly with the angels on June 26, 2017 surrounded by many family and friends. Chris was born on December 22, 1992 in Powell, WY to Sherry Barnish and Michael Bulow. Chris lived with his family in Cody for the first 16 years of his life where he touched everyone's lives that he met. In 2008, Chris moved to Gillette with his mom and his brothers Preston and Colter to start their new adventure. He was not happy with his mom about this move at all. Chris attended Campbell County High School. He was an avid athlete, and played many sports, but his true passion was wrestling. Chris wrestled since the age of four, starting out with Cody wrestling club and then on to school teams. He also helped coach the younger kids with Touch of Gold in Gillette. Chris was able to travel to Switzerland to wrestle with the cultural exchange team, Indiana with Team Wyoming, and Fargo International tournament. He placed all four years of State Wrestling. After high school Chris decided to enter the workforce to support his mom who was injured in a car accident. He worked construction jobs, and then found his true passion in the oilfield. Chris was employed with Firesteel Well Service, where he bonded with is co-workers immediately and loved each and every one of them like they were brothers. He was so proud to be able to work hard, and to provide for his family. Chris was full of adventure and had a love for speed, risk, good fun, and the Oakland Raiders. The only time he wasn't laughing or smiling was when he was getting whooped in fantasy football or when his Raiders lost a game. Chris had many achievements in his life but his greatest was the birth of his daughter Marlee Rene, on July 18, 2016. The pride Chris had any time he would talk about or look at Marlee he would just light up. He was a stubborn young man, but he had a heart of gold. Chris was always bringing his friends home that needed a place to go. Although Chris didn't show it, he loved so deeply. A dear friend, Cyral Callender was one of those that lived with him after his mother fell ill from cancer. They formed a brotherly bond like no other. Chris loved his family but if you said "I love you", all he would respond back with is "ya". He showed his love to his brothers by picking on them or being out right mean. He was an amazing son, brother, daddy, grandson, boyfriend, and coworker and he will dearly be missed. Chris is survived by his mom, Sherry, dad, Jade Fuller (Becca) of Greybull, WY, brothers, Preston (Kelsi) and Colter of Gillette, sister, Aurora of Greybull, stepbrothers, Thomas and Brendon of Greybull, soulmate and love of his life, April Carson, daughter, Marlee Rene, maternal grandparents, Mike and Glenda Larchick of Basin, paternal grandparents, Larry Bulow, Zela Lubeck, and Ron Fuller (Sheri) and Pam Fuller of Lander, great-grandparents, David Larchick of Basin and Warren and Betty Fuller of Lander, several aunts, uncles, cousins, cherished friends, and his puppies, Stella, Kalupso, and Shadow and kitty, Monroe.
