After graduating from high school, Christopher enlisted in the United States Army, where he served his country with honor and distinction. Rising to the rank of Sergeant E5, he demonstrated exemplary leadership and courage. He was deployed to Iraq in 2004 and served active duty in Korea. Following active duty, Christopher was stationed at Fort Drum in New York. His bravery and commitment were recognized with a Bronze Star, reflecting his significant contributions to his nation's security.
Christopher's passion for music was a defining aspect of his life. An avid guitar player, he found joy and solace in the melodies he created and the songs he loved. His spirit of exploration extended to a love for travel, which allowed him to experience diverse cultures and landscapes. He was also an avid Boston Red Sox fan.
He was a proud member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) in Scituate, Massachusetts, where he shared camaraderie with fellow veterans. Christopher's dedication to his fellow servicemen and women was unwavering throughout his life.
He is preceded in death by his beloved mother, Deborah Ann Kilduff. Christopher leaves behind a devoted family who will cherish his memory forever. He is survived by his wife of six years, Jennifer M. Kilduff; his three cherished children, Aiden Kilduff of Derry, NH, and Sean Patrick Kilduff and Margaret "Maggie" Kilduff of Adams, NY. He is also survived by his father, Thomas M. Kilduff of Scituate, MA, and his two brothers, Kevin T. Kilduff of Plymouth, MA, and Thomas J. Kilduff of Fitchburg, MA. Christopher will be laid to rest at the Massachusetts National Cemetery in Bourne, Massachusetts, at a later date. Family and friends are invited to sign the online guestbook at www.omanfh.com.
