Obituary

Mr. Chris William Fox, 74, passed away peacefully on November 14, 2025, in

Morristown, New Jersey. Born on January 4, 1951, in New Westminster, British

Columbia, Canada, Chris lived a life marked by kindness, dedication, and a deep love

for family and the world around him.

Chris pursued his academic passions with vigor, earning a degree in mathematics from

the University of Waterloo. He later expanded his expertise by completing an MBA at

the Schulich School of Business. His educational journey reflected his analytical mind

and commitment to excellence—qualities that would define both his professional and

personal life.

Throughout his life, Chris was known for his amicable nature and neighborly spirit.

Those who knew him often described him as benevolent and compassionate—a man

who approached life with civility and warmth. Whether lending a hand as a handyman or

enjoying others’ company over coffee, he brought a mellow presence to every room he

entered.

Chris had a deep appreciation for the outdoors and found joy in natural environments.

He was an outdoor camping enthusiast who cherished time spent with horses and

exploring new places through travel with his family. A devoted pet lover, he found

companionship and comfort in animals throughout his life. In quieter moments, he

enjoyed immersing himself in crime dramas both on television and as novels via his

local library book clubs.

Above all else, Chris was dedicated to his family. He is lovingly remembered by his wife

Carol Fox; daughters Amy and Heather Fox; son-in-law Joel Clark; daughter-in-law

Tricia McEniry; sister Victoria Zajchowski and niece Alex Zajchowski; brother Michael

Fox and brother-in-law Bud Roach. His legacy lives on through the many lives he

touched with his kindness and generosity.

Chris was predeceased by his parents, Wendy and Bill Fox.

A memorial service celebrating Chris’s life will be held in Ontario, Canada in the spring

of 2026.

In honor of Chris’s memory, donations may be made to the American Diabetes

Association or to a charity of your choice.
