Christopher Paul Caffrey of Bernalillo, age 52, passed away on Sunday, September 9, 2007. Christopher was born in Albuquerque and lived his entire life in this area. He was a proud graduate of West Mesa High School, class of 1972. While at West Mesa, Christopher played varsity tennis and was a member of the Boy Scouts. Christopher will be remembered as a warm, funny, and hard-working man who had many friends, many hobbies, and a loving family to occupy his time. He was an avid sports fan and followed and supported his two favorite teams, the San Francisco Giants and the Indianapolis Colts. He was a member of Covenant Christian church in Rio Rancho and volunteered at the St. Anthony Soup Kitchen in Bernalillo. Christopher loved music, literature, and philosophy and most of all, his beloved canine companions, Ludwig and Wolfgang. Above all, Christopher served as an inspiration to many by displaying courage and perseverance after he suffered a closed-head injury in July of 1972. Christopher is survived by his mother, Ann Reddy, and her husband, Robert Reddy. He is also survived by his two loving sisters, Ann Marie Caffrey and Cecilia Colucci, and his supportive brothers: John, Michael, Kevin, Daniel, Brian, Timothy and Richard Caffrey. In addition, Christopher is survived by one brother-in-law, many sisters-in-law, and many nieces and nephews. Chris was preceded in death by his father, John in 1970 and his brother, Philip in 2002. A celebration of life will be held on Thursday, September 13, 2007, at 1:00 p.m. at Covenant Christian Church, Iris Road NE, Rio Rancho, NM. In his memory, contributions can be made to any local animal shelter.
