Christopher Michael Conaty

Christopher Michael Conaty, known as Chris by his family and Stretch to his friends. He passed away on March 22, 2025, in his hometown of Caldwell, Idaho, at the age of 38. Born on September 10, 1986, in the same tight-knit community, Chris's life was a testament to the enduring obstacles, finding joy in adventures and making memories.
Chris is survived by a loving and dedicated family. His wife, Krystal Garza-Conaty. His legacy continues through his son, Ethan Conaty, and stepson, Esiel Rojas. Chris was the son of David Conaty and Cynthia (Roger) Arment. His grandparents, Art (Jeanie) Scovell and Dianne Scovell, will fondly remember the memories throughout his life. His sister, Angela Hernandez, will miss the times that they got to spend together, as will his nephews, Luis, Ismael, Brodin, and Elijah, and nieces, Alexa and Leveah. His death was preceded by his brother, Daniel Conaty, with whom he now rests.
Chris's educational journey included studies at the College of Western Idaho (CWI), where he pursued his interests with curiosity and determination. He found his calling in the trades and was becoming a dedicated HVAC apprentice, a career that was going to allow him to combine his problem-solving skills and desire to help others.
Chris will be remembered for his adventurous spirit and the ability to endure and overcome obstacles in life. He was known for his generosity, often extending a helping hand to those in need without a second thought. His optimistic outlook on life was contagious, uplifting everyone around him even in challenging times.
His interests were as varied as they were passionate. Chris treasured spending quality time with his family, whether it was a simple evening at home or spending time with family and friends. He took pride in his health and well-being, dedicating time to working out and staying fit. Another facet of his creative personality shone through in his drawings, which showed a unique perspective on the world.
To those who knew him, Chris was much more than the sum of his interests and accomplishments. He was a person that persevered and a true friend and a loving family member. Chris will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know him.
