Christopher Orr Obituary

Christopher David Orr, 55, of Charlotte, NC, passed away on Tuesday, August 6, 2019. Christopher was the youngest of six children of the late John and Mary Orr of Winston-Salem, NC. He was born January 1, 1964 in Suffern, NY and moved to Winston-Salem, NC at the age of 3. He was always a Carolina boy and the "baby" of the family. Christopher was a graduate of North Forsyth High School and the University of North Carolina Charlotte. While at UNCC he fell in love with the people and city of Charlotte and spent nearly all of the remainder of his life there. He was an avid fan of the Carolina Panthers and held season tickets beginning with their first season. Christopher's smile and laughter would light up the room resulting in many friendships over the years and his life was touched by many of these .

He is survived by a son, Ethan Hunsucker of Concord, NC, special friend Christina Hunsucker of Concord, NC, three brothers, John Orr of Spartanburg, SC, Douglas Orr of Tobaccoville, NC, Daniel Orr of High Point, NC, sisters, Joyce Corns of Charleston, SC and Elizabeth Tatum of Bethania, NC along with several nieces and nephews.

Per his wishes, a family graveside service will be held in Winston -Salem, NC at a later date.

Chris was one the first people that was lucky to meet when I moved to Charlotte. I was introduced by good friends and he became a good friend while in Charlotte. I absolutely loved spending time with him and his roommate at the time and enjoyed this friendship for many years while in Clt. I will never forget him and was saddened to hear the news of another brother passing too early. I wish would have tracked him down later in years to tell how I enjoyed those days and thought of those times often. The wonders of Facebook connected us some but Chris you will missed but remembered by this kid for sure. God bless your son,family and friends and thanks for looking after me some and the good memories of those years. RIP brother,
Peace
