Stephen; his mother, CherylAguilar; stepfather, Alejandro Aguilar; father, Darren Maggio; stepmother, Tracey Maggio; grandmother, Elaine Maggio, wife of the late Anthony Maggio; many cousins and dear friends.
Most of all, Chris will be deeply missed by his many nieces and nephews. If Chris loved you, there was a good chance he loved your children even more. He had a special way of making sure his friends—and their kids—always knew they were loved. He leaves behind Jayden, Julian, Briella, Grayson, Milani, Tristan, Roman, Johnny, Perry, Vivian, Veyda and Mila Jay.
Chris was truly one of a kind—unapologetically himself and completely authentic. He was ridiculous, hilarious, loyal, stubborn, genuine, kind, thoughtful, and supportive. He had absolutely no filter and was never afraid to say exactly what was on his mind. If he didn’t like you, you knew it. If he loved you, he loved you with his whole heart. There was no middle ground.
Chris found joy in the things he loved: Yankee Candles, Power Rangers, Pokémon, Harry Potter, video games, great food, Michael Jackson, ’80s and ’90s music, technology and building computers, basketball, Spider-Man, and writing parody songs. We hope that whenever you come across one of those things—or hear a song that reminds you of him—it brings a smile to your face.
Chris was full of life, always ready to make a memory, and completely unhinged and inappropriate in the best possible way. He was unforgettable, and he will be loved, missed, and remembered exactly as he was.
