The Pantaleo Family

It is with a broken heart that I share that on September 17th, the world lost an amazing man at far too young an age. Christopher Pantaleo, 39, passed away unexpectedly leaving an enormous hole in the hearts of all who loved him. Chris was a devoted husband, son, brother, uncle, and friend, but there was no role he excelled at more or cherished more dearly than that of daddy to his two beautiful sons, Joseph (5) and Nicholas (2).

Chris was born and raised in Howard Beach, New York, the son of Michael and Patricia Pantaleo. He met his wife, Lauren, in 2007, and they were married on October 25, 2013. Chris and Lauren’s relationship was one filled with love, laughter, and encouragement. To watch them together was to witness, not only true love, but an amazing team who worked together to parent their boys, to achieve their dreams, and to build a beautiful life together. Through their hard work, they were able to buy their dream home and move to Farmingdale in 2021 where they created a warm, loving home for their two beautiful sons. The most hands on and devoted dad, there was nothing Chris wouldn’t do for his boys and his family. His quiet strength, his selflessness, and his devotion to his family are only a few of the many qualities that made Chris such a remarkable young man. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him and remembered with love and appreciation for all that he brought to the lives of everyone around him.

Many friends and loved ones have reached out asking how they can best help this wonderful family, and we believe that helping provide for his children’s future would be the most fitting tribute to the kind of man and father that Chris was. To ensure that Chris’s vision of the life he wanted to provide for his children be fulfilled, a gofundme page – The Pantaleo Family – has been established to help with the cost of their future. Thank you in advance for your support, generosity, and love.
