Christopher was born on May 26, 1978, in San Diego, California. In December, 1979, Christopher moved with his parents to the Worcester area where he has lived ever since. He graduated from Worcester Vocational Technical High School as a welder and last worked with the Ironworkers Union local 7 on numerous construction sites in the Worcester, Boston and New England areas.
Christopher is survived by his two children; Julianna M. Tong and Travis J. Tong of Spencer, his father, Dail Tong of Rutland; his mother and stepfather, Michele A.

First and foremost Chris was a loving, devoted father to his two young children. His idea of a perfect day was a day spent with his children and his fiancée at home. He was a creative, talented artist and sculptor who had an infectious smile and a mischievous light in his eyes.
The Family would appreciate donations be made in his name to the American Stroke Association a division of the American Heart Association. https://www.stroke.org/

I was introduced to Chris through my sister Kirstie. He always had a great story to share, was full of laughs, and had a great smile. He was always willing to offer help and always gave you his honest opinion. Life got busy, but he always made time to talk when I called. He was a good friend, and will be sorely missed.

He was a great freind of mine in 98 we worked together at ati welding trucks. He made me feel comfortable and was a special person who inspired me to not sell myself short to be brave in the working world, get a better job no matter what and to be happy in life. Great guy he will be missed tremendously.

Although the loss is tough, and my heart breaks for your children, Julie and your family, Chris your are now free from the pain you have suffered with these past years. I've known Chris since elementary school and even was messaging him the week before he past away, so this was truly a shock to me. I will always remember Chris for his great sense of humor and witt. I hope that all his family find some peace and comfort that his pain is now gone and that they find strength to be there for each other.
Love you buddy RIP

Chris was a very unique and special person. He had a heart of gold and he was incredibly talented with a torch and metal, a true artist extraordinaire. Chris was very honest as he did not put on airs. He was who he was and made no apologies. Loved him and will forever miss him. Gods grace my friend.

When we lived on Eureka Street and my Sons became friends with Chris, he became just like my sixth son. He quickly became part of my family. He always had a great big smile and would help anyone who needed him. He loved his children more than life itself and I will miss his goofy ways. I love you Chris and am going to miss you. May God keep your family close and help them through this terrible time. I will always remember you and your big goofy smile.
