Christopher Ferree Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Cremations of Greater Tampa Bay, Inc. - Tampa on Jan. 28, 2026.
Christopher Regan Ferree, age 79, of Tampa, Florida, passed away peacefully September 26, 2025, at his residence. He was born on March 15, 1946, in High Point, North Carolina, a son of the late Hoagy and Rosemary Ferree.

Chris, as he was affectionately known, was a bright light in the lives of his family and friends.

He was a social person who had a love of dancing, spending time with his friends and doing research on his computer. He spent many years researching and sharing the geneology on both sides of his family with his findings being of such value to his aunts, uncles and cousins.

Relatives would call Chris when planning a trip and receive the information they needed regarding family historical facts that would be useful to them.

Chris spent most of his life in Florida, attending University of Florida, followed by serving in the Navy during the Vietnam War, then resided in Tampa, Florida for his career and the remainder of his life.

Chris is survived and missed by his daughter, Fabricia Moreno, granddaughter, Yumi Moreno, sister, Kathy Ferree, step mother, Ann B. Ferree and remembered fondly by his many treasured relatives. He also leaves his friends who will sadly miss him.

Chris is preceded in death by his parents, Hoagy G. Ferree and Rosemary R. Ferree.
