Christopher Scott Basler

Christopher was a quiet and vibrant soul who departed this world to start his journey in the next on August 21, 2024. He had an indomitable personality and leaves behind a tapestry of cherished memories filled with laughter and love. Not only was Chris a loyal and caring son, but he was also a reliable friend to so many. Nothing delighted him more than his beloved Yankees, Rangers, and his cats “Jeter” and “Emmitt Smith.” Christopher leaves behind his devoted mother, Jo Ann, and is now reunited with his father George in Heaven. His loving sister Michelle, brother-in-law Paul, and niece Leia will miss him dearly.

Chris has a large family of aunts, uncles, and cousins who deeply cared for and loved him. His greatest treasures were his beloved grandparents, Mary, Gerry, Helen, and Andy. He will also be greatly missed by his adopted family in Pennsylvania who devoted their support and care to him until the very end.

As an accountant and in his workplace, Chris was profoundly respected and well-liked amongst his colleagues. He has been described as an “upbeat soul”, always helping his fellow co-workers in any way that he could. Chris was portrayed as a “joy to be around” and was a genuinely great person. Those that have had the pleasure of knowing him within his career have been impacted by Christopher in a positive way.
