KINGSBURY – Christopher Michael Barrett, 54, of Kingsbury has unexpectedly passed away on Saturday, December 21, 2024. After several months of medical treatment, his body was too tired to go on.
Born July 22, 1970, in Glens Falls, he was the son of Dennis R. and Elizabeth “Betty” A. (Ritchie) Barrett.
Chris graduated from Hudson Falls Sr. High School. He was an avid hunter and fisherman. Chris enjoyed running heavy equipment that he learned at BOCES and operating equipment with his father. He had many jobs as a heavy equipment operator with local construction companies. Chris also owned and operated a firewood business that he did on the side.
On a softer note, Chris took a liking to the stray kitties that wandered to his home. He would take them to the veterinarian, feed them, nurture them and most of all, fall in love with them.
Chris is survived by his mother, Elizabeth “Betty” (Ritchie) Barrett, his father, Dennis R. Barrett and his brother, David D. Barrett.
Chris’s family would like to thank the special people who were kind and helped care for and supported Chris over the past few months with his illness. Those special people are Charles and Lisa Friedman.
There will be no calling hours.
Burial will take place at the convenience of Chris’ family.
