Christopher J. Manczko

Christopher J. Manczko, a devoted husband and loving father, passed away suddenly on December 14, 2025 from injuries he sustained from a snowmobile accident, leaving behind a legacy woven through his family, career, and passions.

Born on January 25, 1982, Chris embraced life with an infectious enthusiasm and a hearty laugh that could brighten even the cloudiest of days. For over two decades, he dedicated himself to the Resnick Auto Group, where his reliability and tenacity stood as a testament to his unwavering work ethic. Colleagues admired him not only for his commitment to excellence but also for the camaraderie he fostered within the workplace.

Yet, it was not solely in his career that Chris thrived. He was a man of many interests, and his spirit soared during weekends spent snowmobiling across winter landscapes, feeling the rush of wind against his face as he sped through powdery trails. A passionate hockey fan, he could be found cheering for his favorite teams, living and breathing the thrill of the game. Racing, too, ignited his adventurous soul, a true testament to his need for speed and excitement.

At the heart of Chris’s world were his cherished family members. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Angela (nee Alford) and two children, Carmela Denise and James David. Since meeting in college Chris and Ang have experienced the many joys and challenges of life’s journey. Together, they created a heartwarming home filled with laughter and love. As a devoted father, he loved watching Carmela perform in dance, cheer and all stages of life. Chris took immense pride in coaching James's baseball team, playing video games together and doing anything motorized. They were his biggest joy and proudest accomplishment. These memories will be carried forward, forever warmed by the glow of his encouragement and love.

Chris was a devoted son to James Manczko and Tammy LoVerde, whose love and guidance shaped him into the remarkable man he became. He shared a special bond with his siblings, Elizabeth (Jim Ramirez) Manczko and Nicholas (Nicholette) Manczko, as well as his cherished nephews—Monroe, Gaius, Lorenzo, Dalton, and Emilio—whose hearts he filled with laughter and an undying sense of wonder.

With warmth and open arms, Chris embraced those who entered his life. He cherished Angela's parents , Kristy Alford (late David) and his brother-in-law Joshua Alford, where love and laughter united them all as family. The countless memories created with friends and neighbors is a testament to the joy and light his life brought to everyone he met.

As the sun sets on this chapter of his life, Chris's spirit remains alive in the countless lives he touched. His laughter resonates within the chambers of memory, and the warmth of his love will forever embrace those who knew him. The world is dimmer without his light, but the echoes of his adventures, his kindness, and his unwavering love will continue to inspire all who had the privilege to call him friend and family.

The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions be directed toward the future of his children.
