Obituary
Christopher Steven Bayer
Born: January 14, 1983 in Mission Viejo, CA
Passed: August 20, 2020 in Mission Viejo, CA
The love of our lives, Chris, has left us way too soon. He touched so many lives with his caring, loving and giving manner, and we will forever remember him as that beautiful person. Chris is with the Lord in Heaven now and our hope and Faith will get us through this difficult time for all of us. No words can express the grief that we are feeling, as Chris was such a shining light to so many. He gave of himself unconditionally, and just wanted to make sure everyone else around him was taken care of.
Chris had so many people that cared for him, especially his Mother and Father, who fervently strived to help Chris with his personal life struggles. He was so busy helping others, he forgot to help himself.
The legacy and memories of this child of God are many, and since he touched everyone so personally, it would be difficult to sum up his Life. He was the best friend to everyone with whom he came in contact, even acquaintances that he wanted to save. Chris found his Faith in the last year, and this seemed to give him peace and purpose.
Chris’ passions were cooking and being the “master chef”. This is where he could put his creative juices to work and gave great joy to the recipients of his amazing creations. He started cooking at age 4 and continued this passion throughout his life. He was instructed at the Orange County School of the Arts and graduated in 2011.
His love of everything sports was also where he shined and found great happiness, starting with skiing at age 2, then mastering snowboarding and even instructing others at Snow Summit in Big Bear. He also loved playing soccer and won many trophies as the ‘Player of the Year”. Chris’ approach to everything was to be the best, no second best for him.
Chris has so many Family and friends that have had the pleasure to have been touched by his gentle, caring, loving and spiritual soul,including his Mother, Cathy Demyanovich, His Father and Stepmom, Steve and Rosalva Bayer, his brother and sister-in-law, Daniel and Dawn Bayer and Step brother, Jonathan Valencia, including his undying love and gratitude for his Grandmothers, with whom he adored and vice-versa, Marie Bayer and Elizabeth Bingley. There are too many Aunts, Uncles, nephews, nieces, cousins and friends to name, but know that Chris made an indelible impression on each and every one of them.
Chris will be remembered for a lifetime and we know he is with all of the others who have journeyed to Heaven before him. Till we meet again our sweet boy. May God hold you in His hands.

Chris, you have been such an amazing and beautiful part of my life, it is surreal that you had to go so soon. You always believed in me when I thought everything in my life was gone. I wouldn’t be alive today had you not been there. The countless number of times you brought me back to life is only a mere example of how much you cared.
Your love was unconditional and I am going to hold onto that forever.You were an angel for me here on earth and now you are my guardian angel up in heaven. But it hurts so much now like there is a gasping hole in my heart and I can’t help to think you took a piece of me with you.
Cali, my most beloved treasure and cat you gave me, senses your spirit. Tonight, while I’m laying my head on her tummy, she is drying my tears and making the cute squeaky noises that can’t help but bring me a smile to my face. Only you Chris, could give me a such a gift like her. How could I forget her as a kitten and us blowing catnip bubbles together? That is one of a thousand memories that will continue to play over and over in my head.
I am so grateful you found your faith and can have the never ending peace you have always deserved. I pray that the Lord Is wrapping his around you and I thank God for the six years you have been in my life. I promise to honor your memory and continue to make you proud until I join you in heaven. Thank you for all of the love you have given me. I will forever love you too.
Erica

Our deepest sympathy’s to Chris’s family& friends! We haven’t seen Chris in over a decade ,but have such fond memories of him visiting or staying at our home ,lot’s of laughs, him cooking delicious meals for us, our fun camping trips , of him and his family including our son Mike on their vacations& outings and inviting us to spend holiday parties in their home. One of the biggest impacts on me from Chris, was when I was battling cancer in the hospital in 2005 , and he came to visit me and told me not to worry,” you are a strong woman and you will beat this!” I clung to his words!! Thank you Chris!! Thought some day we’d cross paths again.. so , I’ll see you in the hereafter. You are safe in the arms of Jesus now. We will always remember you and your smile , those cheeks& deep dark smiling eyes! Love, Gwen& John

Dear Cathy,
May the Lord uphold you and comfort you through this time, by the power of the Holy Spirit. May you be filled with the peace that passes understanding, and may it guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus!

Once again I am so sorry for your loss! I’ll miss dearly and I’ll be at the viewing if there’s still room!

Hi Rob,
Please do attend. They are being very strict with social distancing, so you must come at a certain time.
Later would be better, like 5-5:30. Love you, Cathy
