Christopher William Greene

July 6, 2021

Christopher William Greene, born March 20, 1960 to Mary Margaret Greene (nee Hutchinson) and Alfred Preston Austin Greene, passed away on July 6th 2021 at the age of 61. He passed away suddenly, in his home, of natural causes. He is survived by his daughter, Ashley Greene, grandchildren Logan, Rhys, Kennedy and Alexis, two sisters, Barbara and Mary Liz Greene and brother Michael Greene. Sisters, Pat Hirsch, Kathy O’Reilly and Martha Hirsch have predeceased him. As a child he was a bright, active little boy who did well at school, had several scholarships, and loved animals. His siblings have fond memories of taking care of their little brother and just adoring him. One sibling remembers him always laughing at his own jokes which lasted into adulthood. His friends describe Chris as a uniquely sweet person at the core, with a gentle and compassionate view of the world and those around it. He was a loving and loyal friend who strove to keep in touch. He enjoyed surfing the net, philosophical discussions and food! He had an abundance of medical issues but always kept up his spirits and was determined to keep going. Chris will always be remembered by his daughter for his out of control, firey red hair, his love for swimming, animals (He especially liked to talk about his sister's pet monkeys), roller coasters and being a risk taker. He loved music and played the guitar and piano. Having an eccentric father lead to many adventures that other children may not have experienced. There will be a small private celebration of life held in Chris' honor at a later date, to be determined. A special thank you to Emily Leath and Mary Talbot for being such good friends of Chris' and always looking out for him. A very special thank you to his friend and landlord, Chris, for being so patient, accepting and kind to him over the past two years. In lieu of flowers, we please ask that everyone carry out an act of kindness in his memory. Reach out to someone who may need help, be accepting and kind to those who are different from yourself and help end the stigma around mental health. We truly hope that Chris and his sister Martha are reunited and swimming laps in a pool together.
