Christopher Batten Obituary
Christopher T. Batten Sr., age 68, of Shelton, passed away peacefully in his home on Monday, January 25, 2021. He is the beloved husband of Betty Warner Batten. Chris was born in Bridgeport on January 8, 1953, son of the late Ernest and Mary Shambo Batten. He is the devoted father of Christopher and Brian and his wife, Mary. He leaves behind his cherished grandsons Nicholas and Hunter. Chris is also survived by his brothers Richard (Mary) Batten and John (Linda) Batten, and sisters-in-law Virginia (Jack) Goodfellow and Sandra (Donald) Rost, along with many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, and neighbors. Chris loved spending time with his family, as well as traveling, fishing, golfing, and vacationing on Lake Champlain. A Connecticut State police trooper for 20 years, Chris was a patrol officer at Troop G in Westport and then joined the Major Crime Squad and Auto Theft Unit. Upon retiring from the state police, he was an investigator for the National Insurance Crime Bureau, USF+G Insurance Company, and The Hartford Insurance Company. He received many commendations, awards, and recognitions throughout his career. The Batten family extends its heartfelt thanks to Dr. Nicholas Blondin; the staff at Yale Smilow Cancer Hospital Care Center, especially Jessica Stein; and all his health care workers. Due to COVID, all services will be private. In lieu of flowers, those desiring to remember Chris may donate to St. Vincent's Swim Across the Sound, 2800 Main St., Bridgeport, CT 06606.

To The Batten Family.......
I recently learned of the passing of Chris. I went to Stoney Brook School with him. As kids, he was a really nice young man. After grammar school, I went to Stratford High School and he to Bunnell. I lost track of him.
It brings such sorrow to learn that he passed away so young. Recently another class mate of ours (Ethel Russell Silva) died.
I pray that the Batten Family found peace in their bereavement journey that was experienced.
RIP Chris.....
