Christopher M. Canavera, 47, of Trenton, passed away peacefully Thursday, February 26, 2026 at Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Camden, NJ.

Born in Trenton, he was a lifelong area resident. Growing up, Chris enjoyed playing in the Chambersburg All-Star Little League, where he made many fond childhood memories. In more recent years, he loved spending time outdoors and had a special affection for animals. An avid sports fan, Chris could always be found cheering on his favorite teams - the Pittsburgh Steelers, North Carolina Tar Heels, and the New York Yankees. He also enjoyed trips to Columbus Market and attending concerts, simple pleasures that brought him happiness.

Predeceased by his grandparents, Richard and Carole Canavera; and his father, Rafael Vega; he is survived by his mother, Lynne Vasquez; fiancé Kiara J. Morris; brothers, Henrry (Jessica) Serna, Jr. and Fernando (Megan) Castillo; as well as many other relatives and dear friends.
