Christopher Metritikas Obituary
Being in a 5-year cancer battle at 64 years old has allowed me to read many obituaries and inspired me to write my own. After a 5 year fight the cancer has taken my life. Do not mourn for me, as I have lived a happy and fortunate life. Seeing it coming has allowed me to make amends and exchange feelings of love with many people. I've also been able to make Jesus a bigger part of my life and to pray for forgiveness as I am a sinner. I am the first son of a great man and father, Peter Metritikas. Survived also by my loving wife Maryfrances and two wonderful children, Stavros, and Eva. By my brothers, George and Paul, his kids, Peter and Jenna, and grandchildren, Levi and Maddox. I would like to thank everyone who donated to my benefit, and I ask that instead of any flowers, donate in my memory to St. Jude's. The thought of a child or the child's family going through this is completely heartbreaking to me. Please pray for my salvation and for a continued happy future for my family.

Sending nothing but healing lovenlight to Mary, John´s children, Pete, Paul, George, the family and anyone that had been affected by the passing of John.
I had the privilege to work for Pete for 8 years at the Blue Dolphin Restaurant. John was in the kitchen harassing us waitresses and us harassing him back especially when he was wrong: lol. John was such a sweet, kind man which especially shined when he meet Mary.
To read the obituary he wrote, which spoke his Truth, tells me he has learned the lessons of life. How Beautiful How Humble. John you now know we are just spiritual beings going through a human experience. Till we meet again, Peace

This is heartbreaking. This family is so special. My heart aches for all.
Pete was my favorite boss ever. He taught me and everyone how to be a good human being and a dedicated employee.
I worked with John at Take A Break and fondly remember that smile and sense of humor.
My sincere condolences to his entire family.
A beautiful obituary. Such a strong person to write his own .
May eternal rest be granted to John.
