Christopher M. Tomaszkiewicz, age 43, known to many as "Batman," beloved son of Kaylynn (Alan) Wabich-Jindra and Frank (Laurie) Tomaszkiewicz. Loving brother of Sean, Kelly (Song) Lee, Patrick, Steven, the late Michael, and the late Jamie. Uncle of Matthew, Nathan, Faith, Grace, Hope, Kayla, Reagan, and Jackson. Nephew and cousin of many. Special friend of Sonya, and good friend to Arthur.
Chris ("Doc") devoted his life to helping others as a senior pharmacy tech, sincerely enjoying the chance to contribute to the well-being of others. He was heavily involved in volunteering in his community, especially at children's hospitals. He loved movies, especially ones with Jack Sparrow and Batman. Chris was adventurous, enjoying camping and fishing. His close companion, Monk, was constantly at his side, not only for long car rides but also the short walks in the park. Every year, Chris looked forward to Fantasy Football, and was a huge fan of the Chicago Bears. One of his greatest joys was to don his Batman suit to bring a smile to other people's faces.

I first remembered meeting Chris freshman year at leyden.. he seemed to be the guy that could get along with almost anyone, and was kind enough to have me over for his birthday party, where I made a lot of friends... I was glad to see him again in 2016 for some flag football.... thanks for great memories, you won't be forgotten

I'm so sad to hear of Chris' passing! We went to middle school together and even in that short time Christopher as he preferred to be called, made a lasting impact. He made middle school so much more fun with his humor and quirks. I moved away for highschool and beyond but never forgot him. My prayers are with his family. He's definitely someone I would've loved to run into again.
