Christopher A Nieser
Chris passed away Thursday, November 23, 2023, surrounded by his wife and children after a long and hard battle with cancer. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather. He loved the sunshine, Turner’s iced tea and Pasqualino’s pizza. Chris was a family man and loved his wife, children and grandchildren more than anything. He never missed a softball game, dance recital or football game and always said yes to doing anything to help his children. He was the greatest father you could ever ask for. He leaves behind his loving wife of 30 years Mary, his two sets of twins Katlyn, Kayla, Austin and Olivia, and his grandson’s Grayson and one more coming in April of 2024. There are truly no words to explain how meaningful he was to the people in his life. The hole in our hearts will be felt forever. We will miss you for a lifetime. “Love You Big Time, Big Guy.”
