Christopher Metcalf Obituary
September 13, 1987 - May 22, 2022
Christopher Todd Metcalf, 34, of Granite Falls, passed away Sunday, May 22, 2022, at his home.
Christopher was born Sept. 13, 1987, in Catawba County.
He was a 2005 graduate of St. Stephens High School. After high school, Christopher joined the U.S. Army, completing two tours in Iraq, one tour in Afghanistan, and receiving a Purple Heart and Bronze Star. He will be remembered by his family as an amazing father. Christophers son, Theodore, was the light of his life. He often told friends and family that becoming a father was the best thing to ever happen to him. The relationship that he shared with his son was by far his greatest accomplishment.
He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Barbara Lee Jarman and Kelly Dean Metcalf; and maternal grandfather, Richard "Hoot" Barger.
Those left to cherish his memory are his fiancée, Emily Huffman of Granite Falls; son, Theodore Metcalf; father, Todd Metcalf and wife, Melissa, of Granite Falls; mother, Kristi Barger of Hickory; maternal grandmother, Margaret Barger; brothers, Noah Metcalf of Granite Falls, Darrious Adam Barger of Boone, and Caleb Isiah Hedgepeth and wife, Skye, of Raleigh; and sister, Caitlin Carico and husband, T.J., of Granite Falls.
The family will receive friends Saturday, May 28, from 1 to 2 p.m., at Winkler's Grove Baptist Church, 3320 9th Ave. Dr. NW in Hickory. A memorial service will follow at 2 p.m., with the Rev. Dean Hart officiating.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Purple Heart Homes Inc., P.O. Box 5535, Statesville, NC 28687 or online at www.purplehearthomesusa.org.

One of my most dedicated NJROTC Cadets I ever had. From 9th grade to 12 grade Chris´s respect and love for our country and military was already well established and helped create a lasting legacy the Unit still possesses 17 years after Chris´s graduation. He was one of the rocks the Unit was built on. Thank you Chris for your contribution in making Saints NJROTC one of the best Fair Winds. Love you, Master Chief. Cerda
