Christopher Scott Ankosko

Christopher S. Ankosko, formerly of East Brunswick, left this world on November 28 at the all-too-young age of 30.

Born in New Brunswick, NJ in 1992, Chris leaves behind his parents Larry and Cindy Ankosko of Lake City, FL, brothers Jeff of Lake City and Tyler of Jacksonville, FL, aunts, uncles, and many cousins.

He grew up in East Brunswick before moving to Lake City, FL in 2009. In recent years, and at the time of his passing, Chris lived in Jacksonville with Mandy Mathews and their beloved dogs Rex and Rye. Most recently, he was employed as a sheet metal mechanic at Flightstar Aircraft Services in Jacksonville, where he worked for several years. Prior to that he worked in a similar capacity at HAECO in Lake City.

Chris will be deeply missed by family, friends and all who knew and loved him but fondly remembered for his sense of humor, creativity, artistry and kind-heartedness. He appreciated and embraced art of all kinds-especially his own tattoos-and was a talented artist in his own right.

Chris was a gentle soul with a kind (and at times mischievous) smile. He loved to camp on the banks of the Suwannee River and enjoy music at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park & Campground in Live Oak, FL. He loved to ride and collect motorcycles, a passion he shared with his brother Jeff, and spend time at the local springs. Chris was also a constant and supportive presence for those around him, especially his younger brother Tyler.

Words cannot express the profound sense of loss felt by all who loved Chris but we cherish the memories and unique mark he made in this life.
