Daytona Beach - Christopher J. Stakutis, 60, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, August 22, 2023 at his home in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Raised in Lexington, Massachusetts and then a longtime resident of Concord, Massachusetts for nearly thirty years, Chris is survived by his son, Chad Stakutis, along with Chris' two sisters, Ann Liotta and Wanda Valiton, and brother, Vincent Stakutis. Chris is remembered by his niece, Christina Brenner and nephews Danny Smith, Justin Stakutis, Keith Stakutis and Tyler Stakutis. Chris' estate is now remembered by Courtney D'Amato and Charisse Stakutis, his two daughters.

Chris was an enthusiastic father recognized, among many things, for building backyard skating rinks each year with his kids and raising them to achieve their goals. A computer science graduate of Worcester Polytechnic Institute who then earned his MBA at Babson College, Chris went on to publish more than a dozen patents and author a first of it's kind book, Inescapable Data, on cloud and IOT developments few knew coming in 2005; Chris had prescient insight of our changing world.

In late September, a private celebration of life will be held for family and close friends in Lexington.
