Christopher George "Crash" Joyner passed away peacefully at home on March 6, 2026, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. He was 53 years old.

Chris was an avid Orioles and Ravens fan, and the Maryland Terps, Navy Midshipmen and Michigan Wolverines were must-see TV for him during college football season. He also had impressive collections of baseball cards and "Star Wars" memorabilia.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents Bill and Milly Shannon and Sid and Jesse Joyner, and his uncle W. Scott Joyner.

Services private. In lieu of flowers donations in Chris' memory may be made to The V Foundation for Cancer Research.
