It is with great sadness that the family of Christopher Genge announce his passing on Thursday, July 29, 2021 at the age of 64 at Vancouver General Hospital after a five-month battle with aggressive lung cancer. Chris is survived by his second wife Marie. Daughter Jennifer (Keiran), stepdaughter Jess (Salvador) Melgar and their children. Sister Lois (George), brothers Colin and Gregory (Heather) and mother-in-law Diane (John) Luck. As well as extended family and friends across Canada, USA, Philippines and in New Zealand.
He was predeceased by his first wife Christine in July 2011.
Chris was born in New Zealand but grew up in Edmonton, Alberta. He received a diploma in Aeronautical Engineering from Southern Institute of Technology but then went on to start his own successful SEO Digital marketing company, 1st on the List, in Abbotsford, BC. In his spare time, he was an avid go-cart racer at West Coast Kart Club. Chris kept his wicked sense of humour even at the end of his life.
A visitation will take place on Wednesday, August 4, 2021 at 10:00 am at St. Ann’s Roman Catholic Church, 33333 Mayfair Avenue, Abbotsford, BC followed by a funeral service at 11:00 am.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to BC Cancer Society.
The family would like to thank all amazing staff at Abbotsford Regional Hospital Cancer Centre and Vancouver General Hospital for their compassion and care.
