Obituary
Christopher Lowell Hopper Deziel, 72, has left us far too soon and will forever be missed by Lynn, his loving wife of 20 years, his children and their partners Shanda and Ohad, Carly and Andrew, Sara and Jordan, and Justin and Kelsey, his grandchildren Eliot, Ari, Ayden, James and Avery (who called him “Poppy”), his brother Rory (Lisa) and his best friend of 67 years, Denny Deporter (Vone).
Over the years, many knew Chris as their mailman or their wedding DJ or the person who introduced them to the sport of mountain biking. As the organizer of Leamington’s Fat Tire Tomato Tour and a founding member of the ROCKET mountain bike team, Chris was always in search of the ultimate singletrack and devoted most of his time to making trails, fixing bikes and helping others maneuver through roots and rocks. His full impact on the bike community is beyond compare, leading his fellow riders to dub him “The Legend.” And he lived up to that nickname by bombing down those downhills until his very last days.
All are welcome to join Chris’s family for a celebration of life at Two Creeks Conservation Area (21638 1 Kent Road, Wheatley)
Sunday Sept. 25., drop-in from 1 pm to 4 pm.
In a fitting tribute, his friends will take a lap in memory of The Legend at 3 pm.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Christopher Lowell Hopper Deziel September 19 2022..
Death notice for the town of: Leamington, Province: Ontario
