Christopher Wayne Suggs passed away on September 17, 2020. He was born on Thanksgiving Day in 1985 at Overlook Hospital in Summit, NJ and is survived by his loving parents, Pam and Wayne Suggs, his brother, Eric and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Chris was a graduate of Watchung Hills Regional High School and went on to graduate with honors from the University of Delaware with a Bachelor's in Finance.
Chris first exhibited his entrepreneurial skills at age five when he founded Coins From Around the World, an after-school club for young numismatists. Then, at age ten, he developed a passion for magic tricks and with his trusty assistants – brother Eric and hamster Teddy - began performing at children’s birthday parties. Later, at the age of 15, Chris started tutoring friends in math which he later parlayed into his career as a business owner of a tutoring school in Manhattan.
Chris paired his fluency in Spanish and his love for travel with frequent trips to Spain and South America. As a sport enthusiast, he was often found at Yankee and Knicks games and attended Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis.
Chris will be remembered as an engaging teacher, an empathetic friend and a beloved family member.
Vaya con Dios, mi hijo.
