BOISE -- It's been one month since a 25-year old convenience store clerk was killed by two masked robbers.
Now, the family of Christopher Reese want the public to know how desperately they want his killers brought to justice.
Reese's fiancé, Tiffany Martin, his sister, Ashley Pearson, and his mother Polly Griggs video-chatted with KTVB using Skype, from Tennessee.
"From the get go he was just hilarious," recalls Martin of Reese.
The couple met roughly seven years ago while working at Olive Garden in Tennessee. They moved to Idaho in January of 2011 with their daughter Skyler, who is now four.
The young couple's future was so bright. Reese was going to give Martin a surprise wedding this February.
However, now that he is gone, she reflects on his memory as an amazing father to their daughter.
"He did everything for us. He cooked, he cleaned, and he took care of Skyler while I was working. They were best friends, you know? (A) daddy's girl," said Martin.
Their future was cut short when Reese was killed Dec. 17, 2014, early in the morning while he worked the overnight shift at the Jackson's convenience store in Notus, Idaho.
The two men were armed with guns and robbed the store. They shot Reese dead and got away with the store safe.
"We know that people out there know something and we need those people to come forward," said Martin.
Martin moved her daughter to Tennessee for the time being to be with Pearson and Griggs, a place where they feel safe.
But they want the world to remember who Reese was.
"His humor," said Griggs. "Very loving, always hugging and kissing," she said.
"Generous," said Martin. "Best dad in the world."
"He would give the shirt off his back," added Griggs.
"He (was) always willing to help, a hard worker," said Pearson
Each day, the family hopes for a call from Canyon County Sheriff's Office investigators with word that the suspects have been captured.
"It is hard you know, not knowing. I think the waiting is the hardest part," said Griggs.

While they wait, they are making a plea to the people of Idaho. Anyone with any information about the murder should not feel afraid to come forward.
"Somebody has got to step up, you just have to do the right thing," said Griggs.
"We just want these people brought to justice," said Pearson. "That is what we want. They deserve to answer for what they have done to my brother. I mean they have taken him away and we will never get him back."
The past month has been harsh on the women in Reese's life.
"Missing him, crying, angry, any emotion you can think of we are going through it," explained Griggs.
"Having to explain to our 4-year-old why he is not here and why bad people did this to him," said Martin. "It can happen to literally anybody and these guys are still out there, and they are going to do it again and we don't want anyone else to go through this."
They talk about his generosity, his affection and kindness but most important; the kind of father he was.
"He was the best dad in the world," said Martin "I mean he would go without anything to eat just to get Skyler anything she wanted."
The family said deputies with the Canyon County Sheriff's Office have been wonderful to work with during the investigation. Their anger is reserved only for the person who pulled the trigger.
"We are angry at the men who did this, they are cowards," said Pearson. "A real man would get up and get a job. My brother was a real man, he worked hard he made sure his family had, and that is what a real man does."
Pearson said the public has been outstanding with its support, even the gun community.
"We want people to understand that we are not against guns. Even though this happened, we definitely support our Second Amendment right. We do understand that it's the person that operates the gun, not the gun itself," she said.
Martin thanks the community for their support, too. She said the donations have been helpful and the prayers are appreciated. They hope the prayers keep coming, until justice is served.
"He will never see his daughter walk down the aisle, or help her with her math homework or anything that a father should do," said Martin.
"Please pray for justice for Chris, I do believe that prayers will be answered, and the more prayers that are requested, I believe that God would answer those. So please pray for justice," said Griggs.
Anyone with information regarding the death of Reese is encouraged to call the Canyon County Sheriff's Office or Crime Stoppers at 208-343-COPS.
