Christopher Mahoney

Christopher J. Mahoney of Baltimore, MD, passed away suddenly at home on Sunday, January 19. He is survived by his mother and step-father, Sheila and Paul Fennessey of Ft. Lauderdale, FL and West Dover, VT, a brother, Kevin M. Mahoney of Boston, MA, and many cousins, aunts and uncles. Chris was born in Boston, and grew up in Quincy, MA before moving to Boston. Chris was a graduate of Quincy High School and Emerson College. In his career, Chris became a reporter for the Quincy Sun, the Patriot Ledger. Chris worked for over 14 years, many of which as an editor, at the Boston Business Journal and in 2012 was promoted to managing editor of the Baltimore Business Journal. In addition to working for the American City Business Journals, Chris taught Journalism at Emerson College. Journalism was Chris' vocation. His love of words prompted his "Haiku Tuesdays" for all his Facebook friends. You could look forward to Tuesdays and a tongue in cheek Haiku from Chris that was hard to match. While journalism was Chris' vocation, music was his passion. He was a member of the Boston Gay Men's Choir, sang in the choir of his church, the Old South Church of Boston, and participated in many theatre groups. Chris was a devout Christian, who was dedicated to reaching out to the less fortunate. He served at the Old South Church feeding the homeless, went to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina to build and repair homes with other members of his church. Memorial Services will be held for Chris at the Old South Church, 645 Boylston Street, Boston, MA on Saturday, April 5, 2014 at 1:00 pm.
