He is also survived by his brother, Arthur Tarlecki; sisters, Sherry Horrocks, Doris Blide (Jeff), and Tina Horrocks (Keith); 16 grandchildren; 5 great-grandchildren; and many dear nieces and nephews. Christopher was preceded in death by his wife, Helen Pancoast; his mother, Peggy Joy Pancoast; his sons, James and Michael Pancoast (twins); his brother, Randy Pancoast; his nephew, Ryan Horrocks; and his granddaughter, Julia Chavarria.
