Christopher Clack Obituary
Chris was born on April 8, 1968 in Lyons, N.Y. to Vera Ware and Charles Clack. He honorably served in the Navy from 1989 to 1991, during Desert Storm, on the USS Coronado. On August 20, 2005, he married the love of his life, Stephanie, and they raised two children, Kerel and Kree.
Chris was preceded in death by his mother, Vera.
He is survived by his loving wife, Stephanie; children, Kerel and Kree, and son, Christopher; father, Charles Clack; siblings, Charles, Antonio, and Debra; nephew, Antonio Jr.; nieces, Hayley, Olivia, Danielle, and Brittany; and several other extended family members.
Those that had the pleasure of knowing Chris will most likely remember the tremendous amount of love he had for his family, his storytelling abilities, smart comebacks, witty jokes, love for the Steelers, incredible dance moves, cheering on his kids at sporting events, being the "Mr. Mom" of the household, and last but not least, his extraordinary cooking talent – he was always trying and sharing new recipes with friends and family! Chris was also an amazing athlete in his youth – being nicknamed "Cricket" for his "hops," and holding of the record for the high jump at Lyons High School. He was also beloved by his teammates for his leadership and talent on the basketball court.
Although this is a time of sadness for not only our family and our community, we would like to reflect on the kind of life that Chris chose to live. Throughout his years of dealing with medical issues, Chris was always in good spirits and lived life to the fullest with a positive energy that was contagious. His infectious smile, compassionate spirit, humorous wit, and vibrant personality brought joy to everyone around him. In your moments of sadness, we ask that you remember Chris for the incredible life he led and the extraordinary light he shone on this world. He is an unforgettable soul.
Those who would like to pay their respects to Chris' family may do so on Saturday (September 3) from the hours of 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Boeheim-Pusateri Funeral Home, 77 William St, Lyons, NY 14489.
Donations may be sent in Chris' name to the Bernie Mac Foundation, which is helping advance critical research in the field of Sarcoidosis - berniemacfoundation.org

My heart is filled with sadness today upon learning about the passing of Chris. I remember him , Chuck, Tony and Debbie frequenting the Lyons Community Center. I can still see him on the court with the basketball. His smile was infectious. He made every situation better when he was around. He had a great sense of humor.
I am doubly filled with sadness knowing I can not attend the calling hours. My wife , Donna , and I send our most sincere condolences to Stephanie and her family. To Tony and his family.To Chuck and his family. To Debbie and her family. Chris will live on through his family and friends. He has left the memories everyone wished they could leave.
Sincerely Timothy McFaul
