Christopher Horsfall Obituary

Christopher William Horsfall, 37, sadly departed this life on Dec. 14, 2023, at the Hospital of Central CT, following a courageous battle with cancer. Chris was born on Nov. 21, 1986 and was the loving son of Melissa Horsfall and the late Richard Horsfall. He was a lifelong resident of Meriden and attended Meriden Schools. Chris was employed by The Wallingford Housing Authority. In addition to his mother, he was the very loved and special nephew of Opal and Dave Berardesca, Craig and Lori Worcester, and Greg Horsfall. He also leaves his bonus mom, Dawn Way, cousins Natalie Berardesca (Rosie), and Jessica Lary. Chris will be missed by his many friends. He leaves his much loved dog, Hank, and his cat, Duke. Chris was predeceased by his maternal grandparents, Gordon Worcester and Simone Vitkus; his paternal grandparents Richard Horsfall and Carol Miller; and uncles Mark and Gordon Worcester.

Chris loved life, he was happiest being outdoors. His greatest joys were fishing (with Grampie), camping, and sitting by a fire pit loving life with family and friends. He was a NY Yankees fan thanks to Grampie and was always up for a game of poker, cribbage, or video game. He was always quick to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. We will miss him, his beautiful smile, and his infectious laugh.

Chris' family would like to thank the staff at Hartford Cancer Center and the 5th floor staff at The Hospital of Central CT. A special and heartfelt thank you to Savanna - you were Chris' angel and to The Dream Team.

Friends may visit with Chris' family at Beecher & Bennett - Flatow Funeral Home, 48 Cook Ave., Meriden, on Wednesday, Dec. 20th from 10 am -12 pm and may attend his Prayer Service wh ich will begin at 12 pm. Interment will follow at Walnut Grove Cemetery.

Melissa I am so sorry for the loss of your son, Chris. He was so handsome and had a great smile. Anytime I was around him he was always upbeat and smiling. He fought a hard battle and I can't even imagine how you are feeling. Take care of yourself. All my love, Gail
