August 10th, 1973 - May 26th, 2024
In Loving Memory of Christopher Paul Kendall, who passed away on May 26, 2024.
Chris was more than a son, father, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend; he was a beacon of warmth and kindness to all who knew him. Chris lived a life defined by his unwavering compassion and dedication to his loved ones.
Born on August 10th, 1973, Chris brought joy and laughter into the lives of all who knew him, touching the hearts of many and leaving an incredible mark on those he encountered.
Outside of work, Chris was an avid enthusiast of fishing, hiking and going to Wasaga Beach. He found solace in being out in nature, finding beauty in the simple moments spent immersed in Mother Nature.
As a son, he brought joy to his parents, always cherishing family gatherings and creating lasting memories. Chris was a source of helpfulness, incredible hugs and fishing companion. His presence brought comfort to their lives. Chris will be remembered fondly for the love and devotion he showed upon them.
As a devoted father, Chris was a pillar of strength, always offering unwavering support and encouragement in all of Elise's endeavors. He was always up watching a good movie, taking a walk around Fairy Lake or a game of Scrabble. His love and guidance has helped to shape the life of his daughter Elise, instilling her values of family, integrity, compassion, and resilience. He leaves behind a legacy of love that will forever resonate in the hearts of his family. His love for Elise knew no bounds, was immeasurable.
Chris was not only a loving brother but also a loyal friend and trusted confidant. His genuine laughter and care created a sense of belonging wherever he went. Whether sharing stories over a meal or offering a comforting shoulder in times of need, Chris' presence illuminated the lives of those around him. Chris was also a friend and his presence brought laughter and camaraderie to our lives. His absence leaves a void that can never be filled, but his memory will live on in the cherished moments they shared and every dirty pot that I now have to clean.
As an Uncle, Chris was fun. Always up for whatever his niece's anticis were at that moment in time. Sometimes by jumping in the pool with his clothes on and sometimes helping them get out of trouble with their parents.
As a friend & co-worker Chris was a true gem, always ready with a smile, a listening ear, and a shoulder to lean on. He had a remarkable ability to uplift those around him and bring laughter to any situation. His friendships were built on a foundation of trust and loyalty. His absence will be felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Chris will be remembered for his kind heart, infectious laughter, and unwavering love for his family. Though he may be gone, his spirit will continue to shine brightly in the lives of all who were fortunate enough to know him.
In addition to his roles within his family and friendships, Chris was known for his integrity and strong work ethic. He approached every challenge with resilience and determination, leaving a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of crossing paths with him.
Chris leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories that will be forever etched in the hearts of those who knew him. Though he may be gone from our sight, his spirit will live on in the countless lives he touched.
May we find solace in the memories we shared with Chris and take comfort in knowing that he has found peace in the arms of eternity.
He is survived by his parents, Bob and Jan Kendall, his daughter Elise, step son Daniel, his sister Aimee, her husband Mark, his nieces that he loved beyond words Madison, Emily and Robyn.
Rest in peace dear Christopher, you will forever be in our hearts, deeply missed and eternally remembered. Fly free.
