Chris was born in Rock Island, IL; he was the oldest child of Richard and Margot Cobert. He graduated from UTHS in East Moline, IL and Illinois State University with a marketing degree. He later earned a Master of Science in Business Administration from Northern Illinois University Dekalb.
He married Alexis Mosier and they had four children. His children and their activities were what he enjoyed the most.
He worked at various casinos in the 30 plus years in the Gaming Industry. His latest employment was with Rivers Casino in Rosemont, IL.
Chris enjoyed playing cards, euchre with cousins, golf, hunting pheasants with his father, watching Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes and the respected Tom Brady, practicing his expert steak grilling, and most of all catching one of his kid’s sporting events, from softball, baseball, football, and wrestling! He was most proud to be the father of a US Marine!
