Christopher “Chris” Ford
1967-2021
“Family
was everything to me. Dad, mom, Jennie and Sandi, I loved you
all so very much. Justin and Jessica, you were my greatest joys. My
face lit up every time I spoke of you. I was so proud to be
your dad and to watch you grow into the amazing young adults you have
become. Cindy, my life changed
for the better when I met you. My life was
complete. I was truly blessed.”
It is with sadness that the family of Christopher
“Chris” Ford announces his passing at Saint John Regional
Hospital on Thursday, December 23, 2021, at the age of 54. Born in
Norris Point, NL, on February 22, 1967, he was the husband of Cindy
Ford of Oromocto, NB.
In addition to his wife, Cindy, he leaves behind his
children, Justin and Jessica Ford; parents, Ivan and Jean (Shears)
Ford; grandmother, Rebecca Keats; sisters, Jennifer Ford and her
partner Brent Horner, Sandi Ford and her wife Freeza Khurshed; nephew,
Isaac Horner; furry friend, Guinness; and a large extended family.
Chris was predeceased by his maternal grandparents, Mabel and Stewart
Shears; parents-in-law, Kevin and Patricia (Lee) Kane; and furry
friends, Goober and Gizzie.
Chris was a blessing to the people who knew him. He loved
life and embraced it, being grateful for what he had and teaching
others to do the same. He saw the good in other people.
Chris’s wife Cindy and his children will remember him as a
wonderful husband and father and they are so proud to have had him in
their lives. He was the center of their world and they adored him as
much as he adored them. They are heartbroken he is gone too soon but
grateful for the memoires he has left. Chris was a big teddy bear with
a devilish smile that lit up a room and the world needs more people
like him.
The military held a special spot in Chris’s huge heart. He
proudly served 30 plus years and felt privileged to wear the
uniform every day. Chris loved to talk, as everyone knows,
and he was thankful for all the friends he made during his military
career.
Our family would like to thank everyone who held a special
place is Chris’s heart: Joel and Rose, you were his go to
family when he was on IR in Ottawa. You welcomed him into your home so
he would not be alone. Joel, I don’t know what Chris would have done
without you. You are an amazing friend and we can’t thank you guys
enough for taking care of him. Always remember Chris loved you as a
brother. Bob and Tina, you already know about how much you meant to
Chris. He loved you both very much and talked about you guys all the
time. Dean and Heather, Dan and Bonnie, Gary and Lori, thank you all
for the support and love but most of all your friendship over the
years. As for his many other friends, know that he cherished
you all.
There will be no services at this time. For those who wish,
donations in Chris’s memory can be made to the Canadian
Cancer Society.
Rest my love and worry
no more. The kids and I will take care of each other just as you would
want. You will always be in our hearts.
Love always and
forever, Cindy, Justin and Jessica.
