It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved son Christopher, on Saturday, May 18, 2024. He was a light in our lives and brought happiness to all who knew him. While we mourn his loss so deeply, we find peace in knowing that he will live on in our hearts and memories forever. We appreciate all the love and support during this very difficult time.
Christopher Allan Stephenson, 30, of Colonial Heights, was born on February 18, 1994. He was preceded in death by his biological father, Drew Allen Stephenson, and his sister, Malinda (Mindy) Marie.
He worked as a restaurant manager for Knockout Burgers in Colonial Heights. His free time was spent fishing or cheering for his favorite sports teams, the Boston Red Sox and Las Vegas Raiders. Beyond his passions and profession, Christopher was a devoted friend and a loving family member. Though Christopher may no longer cast his line into the waters or support his favorite teams, his spirit lives on in the memories he created and the lives he touched. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew him.
