Publish in a newspaper
Cherished and loved son to Lillian Clark, deceased father James J. Clark, and beloved nephew to Ellie Groeneman. Chris was born and raised in Pittsburgh, but moved to Columbus, Ohio where he was a resident for many years. In Ohio, he leaves behind many friends, his fiancé and soul mate Jaime Porter, the Porter family, Ryan, Logan, Michela and Mickey and their children Kaiden and Kamden to whom he was affectionately known as PawPaw. Also, he leaves behind his Pittsburgh/Ohio family of cousins and friends, especially his cousin Gail who encouraged him throughout his illness.
Chris loved his pets, Bo, Dexter, Sami, Charlee and JoJo. He also enjoyed taking care of his home and property spending many hours outdoors gardening. Chris was loved by all and will be greatly missed.
A Christian Burial Service will be held Saturday, May 11, 2024 at 1:45pm in the Mausoleum Chapel, at Christ Our Redeemer Catholic Cemetery, 204 Cemetery Lane, Pittsburgh, PA 15237. Arrangements entrusted to Schellhaas Funeral Home, Inc. (West View)

Chris Clark my first "adult" relationship that started February 1991. On August 31, 1991, (my 21st birthday)I moved out of my mom´s for Chris and I to move in together, it was our and my first apartment.
Our relationship ended years later but our love for each other did not, we stayed good friends and family. My mom still considered him as a son! My sister still considered him as an older crazy brother! We all had a connection that was never broken.
As I walked in the door after work just after midnight, my phone is ringing and it´s my mom, who tells me Chris died! I knew he had been very sick but I never let my mind go there! I thought he would pull through, he is a fighter. He lived for his grandchildren.
He loved his family so much that I believed this fact alone would keep him going. But his body was too weak. He will be coming home for his final resting place be next to Grandma Ann.
Our family will feel this loss a piece is now missing. You will never be forgotten, I miss you already!
Rest in Peace my friend May Flights of Angels Sing Thee to Thy Rest

I love you Chris. I can´t fathom that you´re gone. You were such a major part of my childhood and I have such cool memories of you that will keep me smiling and giggling. I´m not sure what the occasion was, but Jenn had gotten me a basket of facial products (I must have been close to teenage years), and you got up from the couch and I asked where you were going and you´re clever response was, "To do my face." My Mom reminded me of your love for my pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving. Rather than write a novel, I´ll end with this - - I love you Chris and I miss you.
Chris: "Hey Ty, guess what?"
Me: "What?"
Chris: "You was fresh!"
Me: Now irritated that I fell for it!
Me: "Guess what...."
Chris: "What?"
Me: "You was tied behind the neck!"
I have no idea what started these, but I´m happy to have the memories.
