Obituary of Christopher Michael Smillie

After a brief and quietly courageous battle with cancer, Chris passed away peacefully, at St. Catharines Hospital, on Monday, July 22, 2024 at the age of 51. Reunited with his parents Jim and Mary Lou Smillie. Cherished brother of Rob (Lori Wall). Much loved uncle of Allison (Brendan Grant), Julia Smillie (Cody Garrett), and great-uncle of Adelyn and Brooklyn. Deeply loved nephew of the late Jackie Styles (the late Geoff), the late Pat Edge (Cam), Lillian Kopysh (Barry). Dear cousin of Leslie Hillier (Guy), David Styles (Anna), Bill Edge (Michaela), Pamela Wilson (the late Brad), Michael Kopysh (Becky), and Matthew Kopysh.

Chris will be lovingly remembered by the Edgewater Gang, his extended group of loving cousins and friends, and by his much loved cat Marty. Special thank you to all of his friends at Prince Court and a BIG thank you to March of Dimes and St. Catharines Hospital for the outstanding care. Chris was a social butterfly and loved to be out and about. He was one of the gentlest souls you could meet and was loved by every cat and dog that he met. He was also an avid Hamilton Tiger-Cat and Toronto Maple Leaf fan.

Cremation has taken place. A private family interment will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to the March of Dimes Canada or The Humane Society would be greatly appreciated. Notes of sympathy and condolence may be left a www.donaldvbrown.ca
