Christopher graduated from Bridgewater-Raritan High School before attending Alvernia University, according to his social media page.
He took great pride in having been the sole owner of Green Life Landscape & Design since 2018.
Christopher was known for his ability to connect with others in meaningful ways, often through humor and thoughtful conversations.
“If you knew Chris, you knew he had a gift to connect with everyone around him in a deeper way than most,” reads his obituary. “He observed the sadness or stressors in others and at the same time would ensure that he could light up a room with his quick wit, smile and funny jokes.”
