Christopher James Pike

Christopher James Pike, known affectionately as Chris to his friends and family, passed away unexpectedly on June 1, 2025, at his home in Mahopac, NY. Born on March 3, 1970, in Queens, NY, Chris's life was a testament to the power of love, dedication, and joy.
Chris grew up in the vibrant neighborhood of Jackson Heights, where he would hang out with "The Boyz" and attended McClancy High School. His early years were filled with the bustling energy of New York City, which remained a significant part of his life as he later worked as a Concierge and Union Shop Steward with Ocean Partners, Inc. in the heart of the city. Chris's commitment to his colleagues and the union was unwavering, and he was a respected for colleague.
The love of Chris's life was undoubtedly his wife, Maryann (Dabrowski) Pike. Their partnership was a beautiful example of mutual respect and affection. Together, they raised two wonderful children, Nicole and Steven, who Chris cherished above all else. His devotion to his family was the cornerstone of his life, and his love for them was evident in every action and decision he made.
Chris was predeceased by his mother, Eileen (Wolfe) Pike, and cherished in-laws, Stefan and Katherine Dabrowski as well as his siblings, Kevin, Bobby, Eileen, Kathy, and Jenie Pike.
An avid sports fan, Chris's enthusiasm for the NY Yankees and NY Rangers was infectious. He enjoyed playing darts with family and friends. Chris's love for science fiction, especially Star Wars and Star Trek, was more than a hobby; it was a passion that he shared with his children.
Chris's smile was a beacon of warmth and kindness. He approached life with a loving heart, always ready to lend a hand or share a laugh. His presence was a comfort to those around him, and his ability to find joy in the simple things was a lesson in gratitude.
Words that best describe Chris are loving, devoted, and joyful. His legacy is one of love and commitment to his family, friends, and community. Chris's life was a journey shared generously with all who knew him. He will be deeply missed, but the memories he created will continue comfort those who were fortunate enough to have been a part of his life.
As we say goodbye to Chris, we celebrate a life well lived, full of love, laughter, and the enduring bonds of family. Chris's spirit will live on in the hearts of all who loved him, and his example of kindness and devotion will never be forgotten.
