Christopher D. "Chris" Telford

Christopher "Chris" D. Telford, age 62 of Maple Heights yo, passed away on November 10, 2025. Chris was born on July 16, 1963, in East Cleveland to the late David and Jane (nee Balog) Telford. Beloved husband of the late Margo, loving father to Desiree Waypa (Stephen), Shad Belanger (Jenzel), and the late Wendy Belanger, caring grandfather to Wendy Waypa, Brendan Waypa, Aralyn Belanger, Declan Belanger, and Evalina Belanger, loving brother of Scott Telford (Dawn), and the late David, Patrick, and Holly Telford, and uncle to Daniel Telford. He was an amazing husband, father, grandfather and brother. Chris was always helpful and would never say no when someone asked for his assistance. He was a jack of all trades and was the first one people called for help. He loved gambling and going to Las Vegas (where he and Margo got married). Chris really liked gardening. Especially 500 lbs of tomatoes that they could never possibly eat and loved going to the camper. Above all, Chris loved his family and grandchildren, with his greatest love being his wife, Margo. His love, care and pure adoration for her was evident in everything he did and although we will miss him, we rejoice in knowing they are reunited. Friends and family are asked to gather at All Saints Cemetery, 480 West Highland Road, Northfield on November 14 at 12 PM for a graveside service to celebrate Chris' life.
