Chris Mokris Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Smith Funeral Home - Mantua on Dec. 14, 2024.
Christopher G. Mokris, age 57 of Mullica Hill, NJ passed away on Wednesday, December 11, 2024. Born in New York to the late Joseph and Mildred Mokris, he grew up in Franklin Lakes, NJ and Greensboro, NC. Chris attended the United States Naval Academy and served in the US Marine Corps as an infantry officer. Post military, he held positions in various Financial Service firms including MBNA, Bank of America and most recently AIS. Chris moved through life with great devotion to family, the pursuit of knowledge, and duty to universal truths greater than himself. He enjoyed reading voraciously, writing precisely, exercising fearlessly, and, of course, vacationing in the Outer Banks.
Chris's legacy will be carried on by his wife of 31 years, Ann (Sheehan) Mokris, four children, Alexandra, Aidan, Misha, and Spencer; his brother, Joseph Mokris & his wife, Kathy; his sister, Mary Madoui & her husband, Khaled, and an extended family he greatly cherished. His late brother, Mark, will be awaiting his arrival.
Relatives & friends may visit from 10:00am to 12:00pm on Monday, December 16th at Trinity United Methodist Church, 284 Cedar Road, Mullica Hill, NJ where a memorial service will be held at 12 pm. Interment will be private. As an expression of sympathy, contributions can be made to Gift of Life, Howie's House by clicking here.

One of the best!...I was blessed to be hired and brought on by him to his team at BofA. To this day I hold on & cherish some of the kind & motivational words he unselfishly said that has held me professionally & personally.
RIP Chris

"Tho´ much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

Chris, go forth into that next great adventure! Your spirit, character, and friendship will be greatly missed. Though our paths have long since crossed, you have never been far from thought. Memories of you swinging open the door of my Academy room and planting yourself down to discuss the days events. Or you pushing your body to the limit loading up the weights to exceed your previous bench press. Remember the sunset, the beer, and the freedom of looking out at the Gulf Shore waters. Those were the times... Your friend and classmate, Stephen T. Stone ´89.
