Throughout his youth, Chris played various sports including baseball, soccer, ice hockey, lacrosse, and cross country. He also played volleyball with his friends, which he considered one of his favorite and most fun activities.
Chris liked to cook and watch his favorite Boston and Memphis sports teams on television. He was a kind, fun-loving young man who made friends quickly wherever he went.
He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents Victor and Irene Livingston of New Windsor, New York, and paternal grandparents Maj. Lawrence Parretti Sr., USMC, and Jeanne Parretti of Worcester, Massachusetts.
