Christopher Shawn Rouse

Christopher Shawn Rouse, age 47, of Wallace, North Carolina, passed from this earthly life to his eternal rest on Tuesday, April 22, 2025.

He was born in New Hanover County on July 11, 1977; the son of Janice Rouse Stump and the late Larry Stump of Goldsboro. Preceding Chris in death is his brother, Benjamin D. Stump, and grandmother, Ferdelia Rouse.

Left to cherish his memory are his children, Taylor Murray and husband Aaron of Willard, Caden Rouse, Carter Rouse, and Christa Rouse, all of Willard; aunt, Debbie Pierce and husband Jeff of Wallace; ex-wife and friend April Jones of Willard; numerous extended family and friends who loved him dearly.

Chris battled multiple medical problems for the past few years.  Before he became disabled, he delivered LP gas locally for many years.  He also drove an oil truck collecting used motor oil from many businesses around the area and did courier work part-time.  Chris was a hard worker and dedicated to his jobs.  He enjoyed driving around on Saturday mornings checking out yard sales; he loved finding a good deal.  He enjoyed his Sundrop, a hot cup of coffee, fishing and spending time with his family.  Chris loved his family more than anything.  He will surely be missed, but never forgotten.

Funeral service will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 29, 2025 at Quinn-McGowen Funeral Home, Wallace Chapel.
