Chris Perry died while cleaning a malfunctioning rock crusher suspended above a quarry at the Aggregate Industries facility at 30 Danvers Road in Swampscott, the Essex County District Attorney said. Another worker also working in the machine escaped without injury.
Chris was the owner and operator of C.G.P. Landscaping and loved the outdoors, according to his obituary.
Chris loved snowboarding, skateboarding, rollerblading, jet skiing, riding dirt bikes and his motorcycle, and spending time at his vacation home in New Hampton, New Hampshire.
But he was most passionate about his friends and family.
"The fact that you are gone will get easier in time but just know you will never be forgotten," friend James Burke posted on Facebook. "I'd like for other people to know how great of a person you are. I can defiantly say I would not have been able to build my business as easily without all of your advice and help whether it be just a phone call or you standing right beside me you were always there for me. The fact that you are with your dad now makes this all a little easier knowing you will be looking over your family with him."
Other friends posted about Chris' drive to succeed.
"We both had plans for success, and that's what drew us together," Dave Vincent Hingston said. "Always very ambitious, driven, and never beat around the bush, and that's why we got along so well."
A funeral for Chris Perry is set for Monday at 9:30 a.m. at the Solimine Funeral Home, 67 Ocean St. in Lynn. Funeral Mass will follow at St. Pius V Church.
