Christopher Barr Obituary
South Woodstock, VT - Chris passed away July 31st, 2025, the day after his 38th birthday at DHMC after an unimaginable short and hard-fought battle with cancer, surrounded by family and close friends.
Chris was born on July 30th, 1987 at DHMC to Curtis and Wendy Barr. He was a graduate of the class of 2005 from WUHS.
Chris met Susie Chamberlin the summer of 2012, swooned over a game of horseshoes, they began their life together. They celebrated 13 years together on July 4th this year. In August 2021, they welcomed their beautiful daughter Charlotte into the world, who was the light of his life. Becoming a father was his biggest accomplishment.
Chris began working of the Town of Woodstock, for the Village Department, July of 2017. He was promoted to Director of Public Works last year, an accomplishment he was very proud of, in which he shared a very close bond to the folks he worked with.
Chris was many things, but the ones that stood out the most was his true patriotism and a true friend to all. He loved his country and its flag. As an 8th generation Vermonter, he understood what being a real Vermonter meant. He would give the shirt off his back and when he loved someone or something, he loved hard, with everything in him.
He was an avid hunter and fisherman, enjoying his annual deer hunt with his dad. He never missed an opening morning.
If you were around Chris, you were listening to music, talking about pistols, hot rods, or Harley's, and could always expect a good laugh. His humor and charm were infectious and he will be sorely missed.
Chris is survived by parents Curt and Wendy, partner and love of his life, Susie Chamberlin and their beautiful daughter Charlotte, and his 'brother' Jacob Crane.
He was predeceased by maternal grandparents Maxwell 'Bun' and Charlotte Maxham and paternal grandparents Stewart and Audrey Barr.
Donations to his daughter Charlotte's education fund can be made to Charlotte Barr, 734 Long Hill Rd South Woodstock, VT 05071.
A celebration of life will take place August 23rd, 2025 from 11:00am – 2:00pm at the South Woodstock Fire Station.
The Cabot Funeral Home of Woodstock, VT is assisting the family. An online guestbook can be found at www.cabotfh.com.
