Information: Beloved husband, father, son, brother, and dear friend, Christopher Shane Ballard, age 44, died in an accident on Wednesday, December 10, 2014.  Chris was living in Morgantown WV at the time of his death.  His family and friends will be remembering Chris and celebrating his life on December 16, 2014 at Roush Funeral Home in Ravenswood from 11 am until 2 pm, with funeral services on Tuesday, December 16, 2014, with Reverend Tim Brewer and Pastor Kevin Bartlett officiating.  A graveside service is to follow at Tyler Mountain Memory Gardens with graveside military rites.      Chris is survived by many who loved him, including his wife, Elaine Ballard; daughters, Taylor, Rebecca, and Kirstie; son, Matthew; grandson, Max; mother, Tina Piggott (Tom); father, Bittner Ballard (Peggy); brothers, Scott Ballard (Amber) and Terry Ballard (Juli); sister, Tammy Winters (Rod); and many nieces and nephews.  Chris was a proud veteran of the United States Navy and later worked for EQT as a senior landman.  You could always find Chris fishing, spending time with friends and family, or cheering on the Mountaineers.  Chris will always be remembered by his infectious laugh, welcoming smile and heart of gold, and generosity for others.  He never met a stranger and that is why ""Barrelhead"" will be missed by many.  Condolences may be expressed to the family at roush94@yahoo.com, or on www.facebook.com/roushfuneralhome.
