South Mountain Middle School is where I met Mr. Pachuta, around 2007, he was more than my teacher - he was my friend.

He used to always play `The Fray - How to Save a Life´ and every time I hear it now, I think about him. It makes me sad `cause that´s a very touching song.

As a young teenager, Pachuta taught me a lot about life, drugs and being kind to others. He even gave me his number (I never contacted him) but the trust was there.

I saw him at a Maravian vs Lincoln Leadership game in 2013, but I didn´t go up to him to say "Hi" and I will have to live with that decision everyday...

Me and Pachuta dominated in them South Mountain dodge ball tournaments!!!

-Marcos.

Mrs. Pachuta & Family:
My sincere condolences to you and the family on the passing of Chris. As a PIAA Soccer Official, I had the privilege of officiating his teams on numerous occasions. Chris was always firm but fair and if there was a question on a call, he readily accepted our explanation when provided to him. He will be missed by the soccer community.
You have my deepest sympathy during this time. God bless you and your family.

To The Pachuta Family,

Words cannot express the sadness I felt when hearing about Chris's death. He was a joy in my classroom and a bright light on the soccer field and basketball court.

Chris was an asset to Notre Dame High School. I was blessed to have Chris in my life. I know what a terrific son, husband, teacher, coach and most importantly father Chris was.

I pray that his sons know what a wonderful human being their father was.

Please know that all of you are in my prayers and the prayers of Notre Dame High School.

Paul, Patti, Kim and families,
Words cannot express the sorrow I feel for all of you. Chris always was a joy to be around. He was a pleasure in the classroom and I truly enjoyed seeing him after graduation. Many times we spoke on FB and he truly was so proud of his family. I know how heart- broken you all must be. Know you are in my thoughts and prayers and I know his boys will know what kind of man their daddy was. God bless you and keep you.

Chris will be missed by the soccer community. As a referee I had the pleasure of seeing him mature in High School, College and as an Adult player and Coach. Chris was always passionate about his game and made everyone around him better. Condolences to his family and friends.
