Christopher Lee Pratchard "Chris", born on October 26, 1985, in Cincinnati, Ohio, passed away unexpectedly on December 28, 2025. He leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter that will be cherished by all who knew him.
A devoted father, Christopher took immense pride in raising his three children: Danika, Brayden, and Dominic. He was their unwavering support and guide, always striving to be the best father he could be. His love for his children was one of his proudest accomplishments, and he dedicated himself to ensuring they had the best life possible.
Christopher will be remembered as a kind-hearted man with an infectious spirit. He was the life of the party, known for his ability to bring smiles to others. Friends often described him as a "giant teddy bear," someone who was approachable and friendly, making lasting connections wherever he went. His humor and warmth made him a cherished friend to many.
As a graduate with honors from Oak Hills High School, Christopher embodied diligence and commitment, traits he carried throughout his career as a factory worker with Perfetti Van Melle. Outside of work, he found joy in fishing trips, playing cards, camping, and enjoying nature, often accompanied by his beloved best friends, Rusty and Lisa. Family trips to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, were particularly memorable for Christopher, as they afforded him precious moments with family.
Christopher was deeply loved by his family. He is survived by his father, Glen (Wanda) Pratchard, and his mother, Sally (Bob) Carter. He is also mourned by his girlfriend, Tiffany Burchett, who held a special place in his heart. His absence will be felt profoundly by his aunts, uncles, and countless friends who were touched by his generous spirit.
He was preceded in death by his brother, Tommy Roberts, and his grandparents, Helen and Charles Roberts, who awaited his arrival with open arms in eternity.
Visitation will be held on January 7, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM at Vitt, Stermer & Anderson Funeral Home in Delhi, Cincinnati, Ohio, followed by a funeral service at 11:00 AM. Interment will take place at Baltimore Pike Cemetery at 12:15 PM the same day.
Christopher Lee Pratchard lived a life filled with purpose, and he will be dearly missed. His spirit, friendship, and love will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
