Christopher Maciejewski Obituary
AGE: 29 •
Christopher M. Maciejewski, age 29, of Wilmington, DE passed away Wednesday, August 6, 2014 at Christiana Hospital.
Chris was a graduate of Mount Pleasant High School. He was employed by Two Men and a Truck, Wilmington, DE. Chris, also known as "Chris Low" loved working on cars. In his earlier years, he took pleasure in restoring older vehicles. He started the Forever Low Car and Truck Club, Wilmington, DE, where he enjoyed the camaraderie of other car enthusiasts. Chris was creative and inventive. He could always find a way to fix or modify something and make it work. His other hobbies included "stunting" on anything with wheels and a passion for fishing in his spare time. Chris was always willing to lend a hand to others and he could always make one laugh with his fun-loving, quick-witted nature. He was a loving husband, father, and son. Chris' greatest pleasure was spending time with his daughter teaching her, nurturing her with love, and experiencing all of the wonders of the world with her.
He is survived by his wife, Jennifer A. Clements-Maciejewski; his pride and joy, daughter, Layla; mother, Teresa A. Maciejewski; sister, Valarie O'Brien; grandfather, Charles J. Domaszewski, and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family. He will be dearly missed by all his family and friends. Chris was predeceased by his father, Richard F. "Scottie" Maciejewski.

Chris and I had some great times riding our BMX bikes all over Northern Wilmington, later growing into Honda Civics, and air 'bagged' vehicles, coincidentally we each owned around the same times. The car shows, cruise ins, and late night parking lot hang outs, the friendships, memories and foreverlow bond will be there for us all to reflect on. Chris was a genuine man, a man of his word and a man of his family, I am honored to have been a friend of Chris'. My thoughts and prayers are with those Chris held tight to him.

Chris was an old classmate of mine at Harlan, and had many classes together. He also helped me make my first house a home while going through the difficult task of moving in. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and those closest to him.

I have watched Chris grow from a shy little baseball player to a sweet guy, proud dad and responsible mover. It was a nice surprise when he showed up to move me last year. I'm lucky to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Rest in peace, Chris. Brian's mom <3

I am so sorry to read of Chris' passing. I have used two men and a truck for several moves and always requested "Chris & Chris". He was always very nice and professional. I will keep your family in my prayers.
