Christopher M. McGinn, age 42, of Cranston and formerly of Bristol, died unexpectedly Friday, February 2, 2024 at Rhode Island Hospital following a medical emergency.
Born in Providence and raised in Bristol, he was the son of Timothy M. and Barbara J. (Ferreira) McGinn of Bristol. He was educated in Bristol Schools and was active in youth sports programs. Chris loved playing football, soccer, baseball and hockey. He loved inline skating, riding his dirt bike, hiking, water skiing on Lake Winnipesaukee and snowboarding at Gunstock Mountain. He enjoyed rooting for his local sports teams, especially on Sundays at his Omas or his Grandmas surrounded by family. In adulthood Chris lived with a disability, but he fought hard to maintain normalcy. Chris lived with those of like mind and was a positive role model for them. He excelled at beating everyone in billiards on his daily trip to generations. Chris always managed to make it home for the holidays and special occasions with stories to share. He loved his nieces and always asked how everyone was doing. Most of all, Chris loved his weekly lunches with his mother, who was always by his side. Chris was dealt a bad hand in this game we call life, but he played it well and tried his best.
In addition to his parents, he is survived by his brother, T. Michael McGinn, Jr., his wife Christine (Furtado) McGinn and two nieces, Raegan Kathryn and Riley Drew all of Bristol. Aunts Paula, Kit, Patti, Maria and Marie. Uncles Kevin, Pat and Louis. Cousins Melissa, Erin, Nature, Eliza, Nic, Kerri, Kevin, Louis and Christian.
He was preceded in death by his Paternal Grandparents, Edwin C. and Kathryn M. (Cody) McGinn, his Maternal Grandparents, Louis I. and Marianne S. (Brunjes) Ferreira and his Uncles Teddy and Mathew McGinn.
