He was born in Rasted, Denmark, into a family of eleven brothers and sisters. Chris and his brother, Niels, immigrated to Canada in 1950 with a sense of adventure and opportunity.

Chris will be greatly missed by his niece, Susan (Scott McCarron) Larsen, and his nephews, Paul (Beverley) Larsen, and Kim (Carolynn) Larsen, all of whom reside in Calgary with their families. He will also be lovingly remembered by his sister-in-law, Kirstine Larsen, of Calgary, and his surviving brother and sisters, Bent Larsen, Jenny Larsen and Mary Larsen, all of whom live in Denmark.
