Chris Noel Mirza

In 2003 Chris married Jill Arnott. They have shared almost 20 years of marriage.

Chris worked for Mi Amigos restaurant as a manager for more than 20 years until his health failed. He worked hard in his recovery from multiple strokes. With his family and friends cheering him from the sidelines, “Team Mirza” met the goal of him walking again. He spent seven additional years creating memories with his family.

He was a die-hard Cardinals fan and a season ticket holder. Chris was known for his laughter and joking manner. He had a larger-than-life personality that filled any room. He was known for his charm and his amazing people skills. His heart was as big as his smile. He was always willing to do things for others. This usually involved food and a party!

He is survived by his wife Jill, daughter Pamela Mirza, son & daughter-in-law Christopher & Megan Mirza, the mother of his children Barbara Rich, her son Joey Galvin, sister & brother-in-law Roseline & Eric Gill, and his nephews Josh and Horeb Gill.

In addition to his parents, Chris was preceded in death by his brother Solomon Mirza and his grandson Baby Elijah Noel. He is now holding him in his arms.

Family and friends are invited to a service celebrating his life on Saturday, March 25, 2023, at West Resthaven Funeral Home, 6450 W. Northern Avenue, Glendale at 3:00 PM. All are encouraged to wear Cardinals gear or colors as we have our tailgate party to celebrate his arrival in Heaven.
