On June 26, 2025, Christopher Michael Edwards passed away unexpectedly at Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse, New York. He was an organ donor, giving two kidneys so others could live. He enjoyed spending time out in nature, taking walks with his beloved Dog, hiking through the woods, sitting and watching the peaceful waters, anything to find a peaceful place to achieve his zen happiness.
Born on Wednesday, October 26th, 1988, Chris was the beloved son of Mary Lynn (nee Garbacz) and Robert Edwards.
He was the devoted brother to David (Meiling) Edwards, Bobby Edwards, and Jessica (Fiancé James Bardo) Mosher.
A loving grandson to Phyllis (nee Wereski) and the late Leo “Mickey” Garbacz, Jr., and the late Florence (nee Davies) and late Sylvester Edwards.
His faithful fur companion, Vincent Skyie, was always by his side.
He was cherished by his aunts and uncles, Michele (Robert-Bob) Kokal, Mark (Karen) Garbacz, Martin (Mary) Garbacz, Susan (Robert) Dierken, Eileen (late Jim) McKelvey, Tom Edwards, Brenda (Ray) Szymanoski, and was predeceased by Michael Garbacz, Diane (Keith) Sherwood, and Daren (Faith) Edwards. As a beloved uncle, he was adored by CJ, Zackary, Halley, Dawson, Bella, and James, who brought him endless joy and several cousins also survived him.
