Kristopher Cole “Kris” Kendall, 17, of Belmont, Ohio, died on July 16, 2026. He was born August 3, 2008 in Fannin County, Georgia.

Kris was a junior at Union Local High School and Belmont Career Center studying carpentry. He had a strong belief in God and was a member of Calvary Presbyterian Church. Kris loved his siblings so deeply. He was always ready to help anyone at the drop of a hat. Kris enjoyed working out and he was a motorhead who loved trucks, cars and dirtbikes. He never turned down a chance to go riding in the cricks or late-night catfishing with his family. He loved a deep mud hole or getting the biggest catch. Kris did everything with his whole heart, weather it was wrestling as a Jet, doing a burn out or taking out the trash. His favorite places to be were at the top of Pappy Joe’s hill or on a back road.
