Christopher Edward Tucci

Chris was born on January 12, 1991. He graduated from Kean University with a degree in Communications and recently worked for Summit Medical Group, where he was an admired colleague and friend by many. “Cancer isn’t stopping me from enjoying life,” Chris often preached, as he battled cancer for over 3 years. He often seeked to inspire others, encouraging them to never give up the fight. On any ordinary day, you’d find Chris soaking up the beauties of nature finding the perfect Instagram picture, following every move of his favorite teams, creating stellar fantasy football lineups, organizing his plethora of jerseys and converse sneakers, and spending quality time with family and friends. Chris always had a smile on his face and never let cancer get the best of him. In his last few weeks of life, he made it a point to express his sincere love and appreciation for all who helped him along this difficult journey.

Chris is survived by his parents, Marianne and Raymond Tucci of Roselle Park; brother, Raymond Tucci, and his wife, Connie; niece, Carmella; grandmother, Catherine Shannon; and several cousins, aunts, uncles, and close friends and family.
