Christopher Emery Nagy, 54, passed away peacefully on February 4, 2026, in Charleston, SC. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great friend to many.

Christopher was born in Vineland, New Jersey and adopted by his parents Steven and Erika Nagy. He graduated from Marlboro High School in New Jersey then in November of 1996 he inlisted to serve our country in the United States Air Force as a Senior Airman in the 437th Security Forces Squadron within the Air Mobility Command for a little over 5 years. He served honorably in the Air Force, July 11, 1991- November 8, 1996 in Support of Operation Desert Shield/Storm. Served in Desert Shield/Storm Area of Responsibility.

While raising his children he worked very hard and was very dedicated to every career choice that he made.

No matter how hard he worked, his family was everything to him. He loved his family and would do anything in his power for them when needed. He loved going on vacations with his family, spending time and having fun times with his grandchildren. Chris will be remembered by his family and friends as being one who loved being the "life of the party", bringing fun, smiles, and laughter and making memories.
