His wife said tests have confirmed the 42-year-old, who has battled amyotrophic lateral sclerosis for four years, will not wake up after having a cardiac arrest
Chris Snow, the Calgary Flames assistant general manager and vice-president of data and analytics, is on life support while arrangements are being made to donate his organs.
Chris Snow was diagnosed with ALS, often called Lou Gehrig’s disease, in June of 2019. The particular genetic mutation with which he is afflicted is the most aggressive form of the illness and also claimed the lives of his father, two uncles and a cousin. ALS is a fatal disease of the nervous system that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.
In an interview with The Globe and Mail two years ago, Treliving described Chris as being “like my little brother.” In early 2019, Snow began to feel numbness in the fourth and fifth fingers on his right hand. When diagnosed he was told he perhaps had less than a year to live. More recently, he had suffered setbacks. In October of 2022 he worked from his hospital bed in Calgary as he was treated for issues related to aspiration and asthma. He had been hospitalized seven times in 14 months before last December, when he was hospitalized for two weeks and placed on life support twice but rallied.
