With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Christopher Michael Gibbs who left this world too soon at the age of 47. Chris was a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend whose kindness, humor, and talent touched all he knew.

Predeceased by his grandparents, Donna and Leland Smith of Stamford, CT and Jeanne and John Gibbs of Las Vegas, NV. He is survived by his sisters, Tracey Eckert (husband Brian, daughter Caitlin) and Debra Gibbs (husband Matt Mankovich, son Julian).
