Christopher J. Higgins

Wheatie was beloved by so many. His death was such a shock and I know he is still missed by both family and friends.

Dear Mark & Kathy, please disregard the prior not posted mine and Tara's name, as that was not what we had written. We were so very sorry and sad to learn of Chris's passing. He really was a "Good Man" (and a "Good Kid" (from our Third Avenue/Elk Avenue days!). Please know that Chris will always be in our thoughts and prayers. With deepest sorrow and fondest regards, Bill and Tara Barasha.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Comes as a Shock to me. Known 'Wheat' since Elementary School. YORKVILLE, He was a good man! Wheat will be missed!

Kathleen, Mark and family, my sincere condolences on the passing of Chris.

Coach Higgins was my freshman basketball coach. He was continually positive and would always stay after practice to help work on the small things and the importance of details, which I still draw on in my life today. An inspiration and true spirit.

Chris was a shining light, in a sometimes dismal world . A joy to be around, unique one of a kind human being full of a zest for life! Affected everyone he came in contact with, in a positive way. My prayers are with the family, you know better than anyone how special this man was!

Rest Easy Dear Friend

My husband first met Chris 30 years ago via World Class when he was a senior class advisor. Both Chris and my father-in-law were from Pottsville so there was an instant connection and friendship that quickly included our whole family. Chris was always kind, funny, magnetic, and he went out of his to make our family trips special, helped us scout for a vacation home, and even hired our son for summer jobs in college. We all love Chris and he will be missed.
