Christopher Lamont Irby entered eternal rest on Wednesday, September 24, 2025 at Bon SecourRegional Memorial Hospital in Richmond, VA. He was born July 22, 1976 to Cecelia Royster Irby and the late Percy Carl Irby, Jr.

Chris was educated in the public schools of Mecklenburg County and graduated from Bluestone Senior High School in 1994. He tested the waters in the work world but nothing seemed to suit him. He decided to attend truck driving school and found his calling. Chris worked for several trucking companies and finally landed his dream job with UPS. He received several awards for his driving skills and safety.

Confessing his faith in Christ at an early age, he was baptized and joined St. Luke Baptist Church in Skipwith, VA. Being the boy that he was, his mother often took him by the hand and led him into church until Chris got the message!
