Chris was a graduate of Fairfield High School where he played soccer, basketball and baseball. Chris held the all-time scoring record for the Fairfield High School basketball program for roughly 20 years. He also attended and played basketball at York College.
He worked as a project manager at GT Brothers, Westminster, MD. He also was a beloved basketball coach for the Gettysburg youth and high school basketball program for 15 years.
Chris was very much a giver in life and now in death by physically contributing to The Gift of Life. He was passionate about presenting the Greg Richardson Athletic Scholarship Award for both Gettysburg and Fairfield High Schools since the early 2000âs. Because his brother was killed by a drunk driver, he offered his driving services every holiday. He was also passionate about traveling and attending his childrenâs, step-childrenâs and granddaughterâs sporting and music events was one of his passions. Chris was an avid Philadelphia sports fan â Eagles, Flyers, 76ers, Phillies.
A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, 7pm at the Otterbein Church, 912 S Potomac St, Waynesboro, PA 17268. A visitation will precede the service beginning at 5pm where the family will receive friends and loved ones.
