Chris Macioce

Christopher Roger Macioce, age 42, passed away peacefully at his home in Three Rivers, Michigan, on May 30, 2025.
Born on September 27, 1982, in Sturgis, Michigan, Chris was the beloved son of Vincent and Kay (Miller) Macioce.
He grew up in St. Joseph County and was a graduate of Centreville High School, Class of 2001. For the past 20 years, Chris made his home in Three Rivers, where he built a life filled with love, laughter, and deep connections to those around him.
Chris had a strong work ethic and held various positions throughout his career, including a position at American Axle, The Home Depot in Three Rivers, Pfizer in Kalamazoo, and DTE. His very first job was at Angelo's Pizzeria in Centreville, the cherished family business where he first developed his passion for food and hospitality.
A talented and joyful soul, Chris loved to cook and took great pride in planning meals for family and friends. He had many hobbies and interests that brought him happiness, including golf, bowling, pool (which he loved playing with his brother), snow skiing, and fishing-while enjoying life on the lake. Chris had an infectious positivity and a kind, generous spirit that made him truly unforgettable. He was known for lighting up every room he entered and for being one of the friendliest people you could ever meet.
Chris is lovingly survived by his children, Landen and Zoey Macioce of Three Rivers; his mother, Kay Macioce of Three Rivers; his brother, Nick (Samantha) Macioce of White Pigeon; his niece and nephew, Dakota Cole and Rilee Macioce; his cousin, Will McKelvey; and his close friend, Bill Westra of Virginia Beach, Virginia.
He was preceded in death by his father, Vincent Macioce; his brother, Tony Macioce; his grandparents and Aunt Pauline McKelvey.
In accordance with his wishes, cremation has taken place. A celebration of Chris's life will be scheduled at a later date, where family and friends will come together to honor the memory of a man who gave so much of himself to others.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Ray Funeral Services, 305 Rock River Ave., Three Rivers, MI 49093 (269-278-1515).
