Christopher Donnelly

Chris was born in Detroit, MI to Thomas and Ernestine Donnelly in May of 1960. He attended Bishop Borgess High School in Detroit, MI and graduated in 1978. Chris worked part time for Snap On Tools in Farmington Hills, Michigan and was promoted shortly after graduation. As one of their youngest stars, Chris was quickly promoted to Branch Management in Grand Rapids, Michigan and a year later they moved him to the Branch Office in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. After leaving Snap-On, he bought out the service and maintenance division of Abbott Appliance and moved its operations to Margate, Florida where he lived. He managed it with his close friend and associate Patty Geiger until late 2023.

Fishing, restoring a 70 Chevelle SS, and cooking like a great chef are passions Chris’s family and friends will remember fondly.

Chris is preceded in death by both parents Thomas and Ernestine.

Chris is survived by his siblings Mary Catherine Donnelly (Chicago, IL), Thomas and Susan Donnelly (Ashland, MO.), Sheila (Donnelly) Lowery (Jeffersonville, IN.), and Peter and Ann Donnelly (Charlotte, NC).

The family of Chris wishes to extend our sincere thanks to Patty Geiger who continues to be a dear friend to us all.
