Christopher Capps Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Wilson Funeral Homes - Bridgeport on Dec. 20, 2025.
Christopher Adam Capps passed away suddenly on Thursday, December 18, 2025, at his home. He was born in Wheeling, WV on June 24, 1971, the son of his father, Ralph (Jaynee) Capps and mother, Beverly (Baker) Pettit.

He was a proud graduate of Bridgeport High School class of 1990. After graduation he moved to Canton, Ohio and just recently moved to Steubenville, Ohio. He worked as a Sr. Sanitation Manager at Tandem Foods, Pittsburgh, PA.

Chris loved baseball and played through his High School years while also participating on travel teams. After the birth of his son, he began coaching his son's travel baseball team and did that for many years. In Chris's own words, "I don't know how my ex-ball players always seem to make me proud, just by a couple words but it means the world to me! Watching you all turn into great young men and still reach out to me, means the world! Thank you and you all know who you are! Keep digging guys! A lot left to finish! Thankyou!" He was a lifetime member of the CAVE Club in Wheeling and was a die-hard fan of the WVU Mountaineers and Pittsburgh Steelers.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Floyd and Vernice Capps, Jim and Nancy Abbott and Henry Baker.

Left to cherish his memory are his parents, Ralph (Jaynee) Capps, Beverly (Baker) Pettit, his children, Baily, and Alexandra Capps of Canton, Ohio, siblings, Courtney Walker, Jayc (Bobby) Ridgeway, Phil (Stephanie) Sauvageot, Tina (Mike) McFeely, a special uncle, Chuck (Vivian) Baker, and several nieces and nephews.

Family and friends will be received on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, from 1 pm till time of funeral service at 7 pm at the Wilson Funeral Home, 920 National Rd., Brookside, Ohio 43912.
