Christopher W. Strobel, 50, of Panama City, entered into the loving arms of the Lord on Wednesday, September 17, 2025. He was born on February 24, 1975, in Prestonsburg, Kentucky.

Christopher graduated from Lawrence County High School in Louisa, KY, in 1995, where he proudly played football. A devoted fan of Florida State, he enjoyed collecting FSU memorabilia throughout his life. Christopher's faith was an important part of who he was-he attended Galilean Baptist Church in Bay County and was baptized there.

He is preceded in death by his father, Gary Strobel of KY.; brother, Timothy Strobel of Panama City; grandmother, Mary Coker, of Panama City.

Those left to cherish his memory is his mother, Alberta Elaine Marciniak; grandfather, Clayton Coker; siblings, Teressa Vance (David), Kelli Preston, Dewayne Strobel (Crystal), Valari Stone, Dawn Strobel, and Matthew Strobel. He is also remembered by his uncle and aunt, Mike and Tammy Smith; his nieces, Krystal Vance, Taylor Henderson, Zsa Zsa Strobel, and Kynsleigh Preston; nephews, Cody Vance, Conner Henderson, Bryce Preston, and River Henderson; cousins, Jeff Smith, Peyton Rowe and Ashlee Rowe.

Funeral Services will be held 10:00 A.M., on Monday, September 22, 2025, at Heritage Funeral Home. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service. Interment will immediately follow in the Garden of Memories.
