Christopher Joseph Kies
October 7th, 1967 – July 6th, 2025

Christopher Joseph Kies, 57, and his wife Jessica Kies, 47, of Palm Bay, Florida, passed away together in a tragic accident on July 6, 2025.

Chris was born on October 7, 1967, sharing a birthday with his mother. He worked for the City of Palm Bay and built a life there with Jessica.

Chris is survived by his mother Sheila Delgado, and her husband Danny; his brother Jason Kies and wife Jennifer; his father Bruce Kies and his wife Marion “Beep” Kies; his sister Latisha Waters and her husband Chet; and a large family of siblings, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins who loved him.

They are gone too soon and will be missed more than words can express.

In honor of Chris and Jessica, the family encourages everyone to reach out to someone who may be struggling. A small act of kindness can make a lasting difference.

A private memorial will be held for immediate family.

My world has never existed without you in it. A world without you in it seems less bright. My heart will have a hole that can never be filled. I hope your heart has found the peace it always seemed to search for. I love you always. Until we meet again.
