Christopher Gallant Obituary

Christopher N. Gallant, 63, passed away unexpectedly, Saturday, January 23, 2021 at his residence. Born in Fall River and a lifelong resident of the city, he was a son of Cornelia M. (ONeil) Gallant of Fall River and the late Robert J. Gallant. A graduate of B.M.C. Durfee High School, Class of 1975 he served in the United States Army. He worked as an information operator at New England Telephone and AT&T for many years. He was a communicant of Holy Trinity Church. Music, writing and acting were among Christopher's main passions. As an accomplished drummer and percussionist, he founded the band Device Cycle and played in several other local groups throughout the years. He also appeared in several films including Armistad, Celtic Pride and Two Good Guys, as well as in the television series Brotherhood. Christopher had an encyclopedic knowledge of literature, music, theatre and film. But it was the great love he had for his nieces and nephews and the opportunity to care for his mother that filled his spirit in his final days. He was a kind and gentle soul. In addition to his mother, he is survived by five siblings, Father Jon- Paul Gallant of Attleboro, David M. Gallant and his companion Dawn Dubois of Fall River, Peter J. Gallant and his wife Carmen of Providence, Timothy F. Gallant and his wife Robin of Somerset and Elizabeth A.

The trials and triumphs of the Gallant family have had many flavors, many variances, and as many chapters as Christopher had family members. Christopher brought his own unique gifts to the table: perpetual kindness, a gentle smile, a soft-spoken politeness, generosity to a fault, caring, vision, goodness, and creativity of his own special kind.
May God bless him forever. May God embrace his dear Mother and give her peace. May the entire Gallant family know the loving friendship of God.
