Christopher Hoffmann

Christopher Thomas
Age 48, of Stillwater, MN

After a month long struggle with acute myeloid leukemia and its side effects, our beloved Chris passed away peacefully on May 24, 2015 surrounded by his family. He will be deeply missed by his wife, Karen (Tostrud) Hoffmann; son, Nick; daughters, Bridget and Hayley; parents, Tom and Michel Hoffmann; brothers, Jeff (Karen) and Marc (Tori); father and mother-in-law, Jerry and Alleen Tostrud; brothers-in-law, Eric (Laurie) Tostrud and Jon (Amy) Tostrud. He also leaves nieces, nephews, extended family and friends too numerous to mention.

Chris was an Eagle Scout, a 1985 graduate of Forest Lake High School and earned his B.B.A. degree in Marketing from the University of MN-Duluth in 1989. Prior to joining Triple Tree in 2005, Chris held executive positions at Tier 1 Research, Gartner, GE Capital Consulting and IBM Global Services. At the time of his death, he was a partner and chief marketing officer at Triple Tree.

Chris was a man of faith and he found its expression in everyday life. He had several hobbies and interests including hunting, fly fishing, skiing, reading a great book, watching his favorite sports teams play, but more importantly doing these things with his family. He was an active volunteer with youth athletics and coached his children's hockey, baseball and soccer teams.

Most of all he loved his family and took great pride in their academic and athletic accomplishments.
