Chris Horder—Chris Horder passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday morning, leaving his family, friends, and listeners heartbroken. Chris was living in Thailand, where he was hosting the Ashes to Awesome podcast, a platform where he shared his journey of recovery and brought hope and support to countless individuals struggling with addiction. His selfless spirit and unwavering commitment to helping others were deeply admired by those who knew him.
A fundraiser, organized by Chantel Huel, has been set up to assist in bringing Chris and his belongings home to Saskatchewan from Thailand, an effort that has presented significant financial challenges. Many have come together in support of this cause, with donations from individuals such as Kathy Genest, who contributed $100, and Tahlia Hasson, who gave $20. Amy Olsen, of Caleb’s Bridge of Hope, Inc., was among the first to donate, offering $35.
Chris was a beacon of hope for many, a role model in recovery, and his absence has left a void in the hearts of his community. Casey Jordan shared on Facebook, “Chris Horder Ashes to Awesome, you were a light in my life in my darkest times. He was a rock for me when a lot of people gave up on me. You are so loved, big dawg, forever.” Keesha McGee also expressed her sorrow, stating, “I did NOT realize this is who passed.”
Chantel Huel, who is leading the fundraising efforts, spoke of the overwhelming task of bringing Chris home to his family and continuing the work he started in spreading hope. “As many of you know, Chris was living out his dream, touching lives by spreading his message of love, hope, and recovery,” she said. “Any donation—big or small—will help us bring Chris home. If you can’t donate, we ask for your love and prayers during this time.”
Our thoughts and prayers are with Chris’s family and friends. May they find peace and comfort as they navigate this difficult time, and may Chris’s legacy of love and support continue to inspire all who knew him.
