So many memories over so many years but there is one that I have always held so dear to my heart. We met Chris and Debbie for breakfast when they were in Florida. We had a wonderful visit. Debbie was sitting between Chris and I. He put his arm around Debbie and said Cathy look at how happy you have made my wife. I remember his smile and the tears in his eyes. This showed how much he loved her to me. Debbie and I were both that happy to be together after so many years. That has always been a favorite memory but I had no idea how important it would be. Chris was a gentle soul, so kind hearted and loads of fun to be around. Always loved and missed xoxo

Chris, we always enjoyed spending time with you and Deb at the boys football and baseball games. Those were great years routing for the boys and their teams. You always had a smile, twinkling eyes, a hearty laugh and a kind word. We feel lucky to have become friends with you and your family. You and Deb were the best role models of what marriage and family should be. I’m sure your children will follow in your footsteps and make you proud. You will be missed.

Time has passed since the day that I first heard of Chris's death. However that news is still no less shocking or tragic. Having years of interaction as our boys grew up together there was no parent you would rather sit next to at the kids events. You knew in sitting with Chris you were going to smile and laugh regardless of the score or game itself. Chris does live on in spirit and certainly the traits he passed down onto his children. People just don't come niver or more friendly, gone but not forgotten.

The loss of Christopher's vibrant spirit, inherent selflessness, and infectious humor weighs heavily on our hearts. His storytelling prowess and natural wit lent a unique charm to all his interactions. Fondly remembered as the jovial heart of his family circle, he instilled laughter and warmth in every visit. His enduring legacy remains etched in the delightful tales that continue to inspire smiles even amidst our grief. In his memory, we shall continue to spread love and share life's joyful narratives as he watches over us.

My role model, my teacher, my co-captain and most importantly, my Dad
I could never put into words all of the impacts that you had and will continue to have on my life. I know that watching you be a husband, father and friend, has instilled values in me that I will strive to emulate forever.
I miss you so much Dad. The jokes, the laughs, the one liners. I miss talking through our big plans on the phone, well, usually just cars, boats or stuff we didn't need. I miss our times listening to music near the fire or on the beach. Most of all, I miss calling you Dad, or hearing, "Hey Patty",
I don't know why some things happen in life, especially things that will never make sense, or will always hurt so much. I do know that I was a lucky to be loved by Chris Finn and I will cherish the 29 years I was blessed with having such a great father and family, which has shaped me and my brother and sister into who we are today.
I love you Dad, Until we meet again <3

Uncle Chris,
There are so many words left unsaid. I truly hope that you know how much you and Deb have changed the trajectory of my life for the better. I would not be the person that I am today without your guidance and love.
I remember the early mornings when you drove Paisley and I to indoor field hockey and we jammed along to acoustic sunrise; always happy, smiling, and singing with your soul. You loved rock music the most. I remember so many car rides spent listening to you either sing along or hum the lyrics of your favorite songs. I don't think you would necessarily admit it, but you have a wonderful bass-like voice.
You would always show-up, no matter what the occasion was. You were always on the sideline cheering us kids on while talking to other parents, most definitely telling a witty joke or two.
You went above and beyond to fulfill your promise to dad that Joey and I would be taken care of. You made sure that our needs were met and that we knew that we were loved. I can recall countless nights where you would sit down and help me with my challenging math homework, never complaining. Even when I couldn't quite grasp a concept, you would patiently try to help me learn tips and tricks to make the work easier. As you always said, "work smarter, not harder."
I admire not only your knowledge and math skills, but your dedication to your family and to being a father. Whenever you talked about your children, one could tell how proud you were of all of them. You were a family man; always making sure that we attended church on Sunday mornings and spent time as a family. You were faithful to the lord. You lived out God's word in everything that you did. You would drop everything to help someone in need; that was just the kind person that you were.
I am grateful for you for showing your unwavering love and devotion to your father, to grampy. You were always visiting grampy at any chance that you had. You two would go on trips to the Cape Cod canal and would sit and watch the ships and passersby. Grampy would regale us with what awesome lunch place you guys dined at each trip. You would drive with grampy to all the grandkids houses, admiring the hard work that we poured into one day owning our own homes. When grampy became ill, you went out of the way to ensure that he made it to all of his appointments and yet, still had fun trips. You helped maintain his independence. You were there by his side until the end, and he knew how much you loved him. He was so proud of all of your accomplishments and of the man that you turned out to be.
Your grandkids will grow up hearing countless stories of their wonderful grandfather. I can picture you playing ball and chasing after them, with laughter and joy emanating from within.
I think everyone should strive to live that values that you did. You impacted our lives for the better, allowing us to see that there is so much good in this world. We miss you terribly and know that you are up there with so many angels; probably drinking a shot of Jim Beam with Nana. We are all better for knowing you. I know you are looking down wiping our tears and telling us that things will get easier. We can't help but grieve the beautiful soul that was taken too soon. I love you Uncle Chris and I will never stop sharing fond memories of you. May you live on in those whom have been blessed to know you. We will never forget your kindness, gentleness, goodness, courage, love... the list goes on. I hope you know the mark that you left on this world. May you rest and dwell in peace.

Words truly can’t describe the feeling of our heavy hearts. I was blessed with having Chris Finn as a father in law. He always made me feel so welcomed and comfortable since day one.
My husband pat was lucky enough to grow up with Chris and Deb as his parents. Chris and Deb shared a strong bond that showed their children what unconditional love and support looks like. They built a true foundation on love, and Chris was a perfect example of a loving husband and father. I see a lot of Chris in my husband pat, and I feel so lucky for that.
Over the course of the 7 years I knew Chris, there were so many memories, I don’t even know where to start! However, one recent memory that seems to stick out is our trip to North Conway last summer. This trip sticks out to me because of Chris’s pure excitement leading up to it. He had a whole plan, from a big tubing day down the saco river, to a family tie dye day. He of course got all the tubes for each of us, and bought the shirts and had a whole plan. He would text our group “gangs all here” weeks leading up to the trip hyping us up. His excitement to be with his family shows exactly what type of family man he was. To have all his kids hanging out with him made him the happiest. I loved that about him.
Below are a couple pictures from our trip- my favorite being chris, deb, and best doggo sunny enjoying their morning coffee together. I’m glad I captured this moment because Chris enjoyed simple things, like morning coffee with his love. I think at this moment chris was at peak happiness!
Chris Finn will be forever missed and it’s just not the same without him ❤️

Chris Finn,
I couldn’t be more grateful to you and Deb for welcoming me into your family with open arms.
Being around you brought a constant sense of comfort and love. You made me laugh constantly, you made me feel right at home, and you made me feel like I could just be myself. I am so thankful to know you and I am beyond grateful to you and Deb for making Dan the wonderful man he is. We miss and love you so much, Chris.
Love,
Hannah

Dad,
I know that what is understood need not be said, but I still struggle to put words to what you mean to me and how to move forward without my hero.
You were everything a man could ever ask for in a father and a best friend. Your gentleness fostered comfort in the minds of everyone you came in contact with, while the passion & focused attention you gave to those closest to you every day made us all feel so loved.
I miss those bear hugs more than I ever imagined I could. I pray with all my heart that I can see you again one day. I promise to keep fighting for and protecting our family the way the way you taught us to, and I will be forever grateful that I get to say I am Chris Finn’s son.
Until we meet again, Dad. I love you.
“College Boy”

Letter read by Paul Burke for Deb
My grief at this time is painful, confusing, ,numbing and lonely.
When someone says "There are no words..." It is true, that no words can take away the pain, but hearing old stories and how Chris made people feel is somehow, calming and something we need to hear.
So, never stop speaking his name, that is how Chris will go on.
I, we, had a plan. We thought it a simple plan. It was to grow old with my Soulmate, my very Best Friend.
Our love was , to us , unique.
One which movies are made from. Some have said ,"Deb and Chris " isn't that one word !!!
We thought we had so much more time , although we boasted our 40+ years together we already had
Growing and learning from age 16, we both learned from the hard lessons of life.
The Love , which we worked at daily.
The Learning, to enjoy our moments we shared.
The Lesson, that time is our only commodity.
The Leaving, is not the end of this journey, but the transition from the human experience back to our Spritual one.
I hope that today, you find
a little Love , in the Loss
A little Hope , in the hurting
And most of all , A little Grace for your heart
Even though it's beating a little different today, it is still beating
I ask that you all continue to pray for Me and for our children, that we may stay strong, and continue to support each other, as that would be Christopher's last request.
My Christopher , I will love you Always and Forever, Amen!
Until we meet again, Slainte !

Deb and Family Our memories of Chris, go way back to the time the kids were all little. When Chris would drive clear across New York state (a seven hour) trip minus "potty stops", just so cousins could get to know each other and spend time together. He did it several times which we all will remember forever.
Thank you, Chris for being who you are, loving, kind, and gracious. Love and miss you,
Aunt Teresa and Uncle Jim

There just aren’t the right words to express Chris’s passing. Shock, disbelief, sadness….such an incredible man gone way too soon. Some of my fondest high school memories have Chris in them. Study hall sure would have been boring without him. I didn’t know back then that Chris, Debbie, and I would later reconnect as neighbors, parents, and friends- the kind of friends who didn’t need to see each other often but would always pick up as if no time had passed. We spent countless hours on the football field, pasta parties, football boards etc., Chris was always there to lend a helping hand, ask how everyone was, share some humor, and just be such a great guy. The world is definitely a lot more empty without his great laugh, his charismatic personality, and his soulful eyes.
To all of the Finn’s, you are in my heart, my prayers, and my thoughts. I am positive that Chris is watching over you and keeping you safe. He is undoubtedly so proud of all of you, as he always was. My heartfelt condolences to all of you.
May the piece of his heart, that is now a part of all of yours, always shine brightly through your smiles as you think of him.
To Chris- Thank you for so many years of friendship, for the smiles and laughs, for always caring, and for being that kind of friend who I didn’t always see, but I always knew you were there.
I miss you , my friend…
Prayers, hugs, and love,
Colleen ( and Steve, Zach, Jacob, Kristyn, Whitney, Dave, and Harper)

There are just no words to express the profound sadness and loss for the Finn family. Chris was a remarkable, kind, loving family man and each time we spent together we saw how incredibly special he was. He will be missed by us and many others but most of all his wonderful wife and children. Our heart breaks for all of them. Chris will always have a special place in our hearts. We love all of you and are so lucky to have you in our lives too.

Always willing to help out in any way he could. He was always on the sidelines cheering the kids on at all of their sporting events, horse shows, concerts, you name it. He went above and beyond for everyone and I will never forget his kindness and his big heart.

Thinking of you all with the sudden, unexpected loss of Chris. I have many memories of “Chris & Debbie,” from my childhood visits to Auntie Suzie and Uncle Hank’s house….barbecues and birthday parties. I remember walking downstairs and talking with you both in Chris’s basement bedroom. More “recently” I remember the great time I had with all the family at Tori’s graduation party.
Sending my love!

There are no words to capture the hurt we are all feeling with your loss. My big brother. My protector when I was young, my friend as we grew older. Thank you for all of the joy you brought to our lives. Thank you for all you did for dad in the years before he passed. Always a family man. You always had a smile and a big hug. Always called to say “just checking in…” and always finished by saying “love you, bye.” Maggie misses your visits. Until we meet again. You are surely missed.
Love, your little sister Melissa
