Christopher Gerard McLoughlin Sr.

LAGRANGEVILLE - A beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, Christopher Gerard McLoughlin, Sr., 79, left this world surrounded by his devoted wife and loving family on August 26, 2025 in his home.

Chris was born on March 18, 1946, in County Leitrim, Ireland. He was the son of the late Thomas and Monica (Moran) McLoughlin. He came to the United States in 1970, first settling in the Bronx. He spent 30 years working as an engineer there. But it was here in Dutchess County, he built his life filled with love, laughter, and purpose. He married his hometown love and soulmate Mary in 1971, with whom he shared 54 beautiful years of marriage. She was not only the love of his life, but his tireless caregiver and companion, standing by his side with unwavering devotion for the last 22 years of his life. A true example of selfless love.

His greatest joy came from spending time with the people he loved most. A devoted family man, his life was built around his wife, four children and ten grandchildren. Whether it was fishing, watching sports, telling stories, sharing his words of wisdom or having a waltz with his wife in the kitchen, he found beauty in every moment shared with his loved ones.
