Christopher Tafoya Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 29, 2014.
Christopher Joseph Tafoya, 36 years old, was unexpectedly called home by the Lord on Saturday, April 26th 2014. He was living in Littleton, CO at his childhood home with his beloved grandparents, Leroy and Silvia Romero.
Although he would probably tell you he was born in Hollywood, Christopher was born in Denver, Colorado on August 12th 1977. He is survived by his two beautiful children, Kylei and Tyson, his mother and father, Helen and Miguel, Sr., his brothers Miguel Jr., Nicholas, and Manuel, and his sisters Sherry, Sandy, and Schanel. Chris was also a husband, brother, godfather, uncle, cousin, nephew, grandson and friend to a countless number of people whom he loved dearly.
Christopher was predeceased by his wife Leigh Anne, sister-in-law April, Uncle Joseph, and his best friend Brendan Bing, who were all undoubtedly waiting for him at the gates of heaven.
Chris had a passion for music; he was a skilled dancer and an awarded football and rugby player. Most recently, Chris found his talent for art and design, and had hoped to begin a clothing line. Additionally, Chris loved Jesus, Mexican Food, Corn Nuts, Sleepy Time Tea, and his miniature Yorkie, Sancho Piñon, but it was his love for his family and friends that he treasured most of all.
Chris should be remembered for his strength, courage, passion, honor, humor and love. He had a unique, beautiful spirit, and the outpouring of love and support by the people whose lives he touched is a testament to his never-ending presence in this world.

My heart felt condolences go out to the families & friends grieving the immeasurable loss of Chris. Words cannot begin to express the sadness we all are feeling at this time. I am honored & blessed to have known Chris for the short time God gave me before his passing. He is an extraordinary man and may he be remembered by his many talents, love, compassion, and a life lived with excellence. To say Chris was a larger than life Character is an understatement. May he Rest In Peace. I miss & love you so very much Polo1*OSK.....You will remain forever in my memories.

My Handsome COusin, My Best Friend, My Everything... I dont even know how to put these words together, hold back the tears and unblur my eyes while writing this. My heart hurts so bad right now to not be able to just hear your voice a thousand times a day checking on me... We will always have an amazing, strong unbreakable bond that noone could ever compare, we struggled, we laughed, we danced, we shopped, we did everythign together and I dont know why you left me here alone, I do know that you beautiful wife will forever take care of you until we get to live, laugh and love again one day and as hard as this is I know your as happy there as you were here with me.. I Love you and will miss you everyday minute of everyday for the rest of my life..Just from time to time send me a shinny smile
