I am so sorry to hear this. We were friends at my store on Bleecker Street.  Such a sincere person. Our neighbor at the time was Alle Larder. She and Sandra Oh were in a the Vagina Monologues. After the show we went went to to dinner. Chris' beauty came upend I said said his eyes were like sunsets. Sandra Oh said I'm going to steal that from you. What a lovely guy. I am so sorry.

Dear Barb, Ron, an Laurie,  So sorry to hear about Chris.  My Love.  Pat and Ray Lasky.



Sending love from just one of his many teammates & competitors from NJ rinks to prep to college - so many of his former teammates are so sad to hear this news.

I’m so terribly sorry to hear about Chris passing. May he rest in peace. Blessings to his family and friends.

Thank you for being awesome entertainment in everything you "dipped your feet in." Great NHL player, actor, and very handsome model with a beautiful, genuine soul, mind. Brawler through and through when you believed deeply in something. RIH, 🪁🕊️ Soar high, glide across the frozen lakes & continue to look over, protect your loved ones 🏒💫

I'm so sorry to hear about Chris.  We had so many fun times in Miami a d NY.  We worked together in the model business.  Only a few months ago we were joking around as usual.  My sincerest condolences to the family.  May he rest in peace.  He will be remembered.

My condolences to the Tschupp family and friends.  I will cherish the memories from our youth hockey days at Brick and the Little Flyers.  Road trips to Hershey, Quebec and Alaska and playing street hockey in your driveway when the 1980 USA hockey team beat the Russians. A lot of great memories.  You were a leader, winner and fighter and I am just thankful to have been your teammate and friend.  Rest in peace brother and I'll see you on the other side.  Hopefully you and Mac will save me a spot on your team when I get there...

Chris,

This is so hard for me, the memories we shared during the days at the beach I will never forget. Your light hearted approach to life is something I always admired about you. We were east coast at heart. The stories and times we shared are something I will forever cherish. The pain of you not being around is so painful.
 Thank you  again for having such a great impact on my life. You will always be in my soul 

Ryan  

Chris, your spirit was bright, your passion was contagious, and you were a great friend to all. Your presence here will be missed, but your flame will burn on my friend for eternity. Thank you for being a part of my story and journey, 
Rest in peace,
Steve 

Hi All I met Mr Tschupp as I called him in the 90's as soon as we met we hit it off!I put up this picture as we both worked for Versace doing the campaigns as models.we work on many jobs together sometimes as a lovely surprise -I can here his voice say OMG what the... SCULFORRR as he would announce in his very smooth tone, We would always hug and get excited like to lost brothers reunited.
We partied a lot in London nyc Brazil Germany back in the day! we always had fun.Chris and I would contemplate the world- moan about the fashion industry whilst loving it to- we had deep conversations and moments ,One this chris had as you know was an a wonderful humor!!! not many people get the  british humor but chris 
did and mastered it as well.
Chris your are missed deeply by your british friends-we will keep you dearly in our hearts- Man you made me cry on this one!!! love Paul Sculfor xxx

Chris was the real deal. He was such a wonderful, thoughtful and fun guy. So lucky to have known him. So many wonderful memories. Sending love to Sofia and his family. RIP Chris 💔

The tie that binds. It’s quite amazing the son you raised, the brother that you adored, the friend that we all shared, has left such an unforgettable impact on all of us. Chris had talents and achievements only one could imagine.  With his contagious smile and magnetic energy one by one we all loved Chris. . The memories shared, I will cherish all the same. May God grant you peace to help the long days get lighter. 

With great love and sympathy,

Chris was ‘one of a kind.’  He always lit up a room and you always felt a little better after talking with or simply being around him.  We met freshman year at Notre Dame and just loved being on the ice with Chris and drinking a Budweiser with him afterwards.  He always brought people together, and you could always feel the love he shed to his family and friends.  I remember visiting Toms River a couple times during the summer months of college….Ron, Barb, and Lori were immediately like family and welcomed me with open arms.  Countless stories and memories with Chris that will forever be treasured.  Sofia-you were the angel here on Earth for Chris…I’ll never forget the day he called and told me he found ‘the one!’ I have always loved you, Chris, and will forever keep you close to my heart until we meet again. God bless you, Tschuppski!
Love, 
Jason, Jodi & family

Best looking guy I knew, probably the best looking guy we all knew. From elementary school, little league, highschool and singing Billy Joel songs with all the guys in his downstairs bar. Chris was always the guy we all looked up too. Life isn’t fair sometimes.  I’m so sorry buddy. My condolences to his family and all his friends who are feeling his loss.  Much love to you all . 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Chris and I met in pre-school and went on until 8th grade, then in high school we went our separate ways, me to North and Chris to East. There was no cell phones back then, but we would see each other at occasional party, or in gyms or fields. I would follow him from a far, always was the “kid,” if you know what I mean.  The guy the girls wanted to be with and the one the guys wanted to hang out with.  Taken from us to soon, wish we could’ve touch base one last time.   

Well, big wheels roll through fields where sunlight streams.
Oh.. meet me in the Land of Hopes and Dreams.

Rest easy Tschupp

Chris and My husband Jim Anderson , Jim adored Chris ever since he was a little boy he would roughhouse him throw him in the pool , he had three girls and he always wanted to have a boy . He loved Chris because he was a tough little guy and his personality plus , you two are together now with all your family and friends till we meet again you will always be loved and Never forgotten ,rest in peace Chris .❤️💔🥲

Christopher Eric Tschupp,
My remembrance of you was Talented smooth skating, Gretzky like. As the cousin of Steve Hippel “Hip” being around to watch you play Hockey was nothing but brilliant. I wanna say you had such God Given Talents and he wanted you to honor him for them. We all have an appointed time here on Earth and yours has come to the End.  Thanks for fighting the good fight of faith. Our Prayers we extend to your family and to the Foundations to Destroy all Cancers, sicknesses and disease in Jesus Name.

What does one say when losing a best friend, husband, brother, son? There are no words to describe the feelings of loss we are all experiencing. You lived life to the fullest, you loved with your whole heart, you gave it your all, the pain we collectively feel is a testament to that. So many memories...  from NJ to NY to Miami and La, and to everything in between. You were/are the light that lit up the room, your smile and thumbs up will forever live on. Now it's your time to rest, and may all our hilarious memories bring smiles when our hearts are breaking.  You will be forever missed.... love you my dear friend! 

Whether it was on or off the ice, Chris was the best. I looked up to him when I was seven and as the years went by, getting to play together was always a highlight. Your were a one of a kind that will be sorely missed my friend, there’s wasn’t anything u couldn’t do. From the big screen to the NHL draft to Calvin Klein, u lived a life that was amazing. I kissed u on the head last month as I fought to hold back my tears and told u I loved you as u squeezed my head and gave me a smile.  You never gave up merely God had another plan for you. I’ll miss u brother and see you again someday where sun always shines, the ice never melts and the waves are always perfect. I’ll see you somewhere down the road my friend. Love u bro. 

Our deepest condolences to the Tschupp Family.  I remember the first time I met you as a young kid how infectious your smile was. I honestly thought you were a modern day James Dean.  You now have your wings and your strength back. I hope Carl was one of the first to greet you with a cold Budweiser.  Rest in Peace my friend.  I will see that smile again someday, but not yet... not yet.

Nothing can Ever replace Chris. He was always the light in a dark room.  Since the day I met Chris I knew I had a brother, and gained a second mom and dad with Ron and Barb,  and always will. I know your always with me in sprit and soul. I will miss you. RIP, until we meet again 

Wayne. 

Ron, Barbara and Lori.. I'm so sorry for your loss.  Words can not express the sorrow of losing such a handsome, wonderful man. Chris was loved by our family whole heartedly. May God give you the strength to get through this most difficult time in your lives.  He is with Mac now and there is no more pain.  Please know how many people loved him dearly. Grab onto that...I for one, know that our Chris and our family, who have gone home before him, were there with open arms to welcome him into eternity and we will ALL see each other again. God bless you with his continual grace, always. 
In Jesus name🙏
Dianne and Ryan McCafferty

My deepest condolences to the Tschupp family and his many friends. Your smile and courage will never be forgotten. Rest easy Chris.  Love Jenny 

So many fun times we have all had together!!! You were so beyond special to me.  And I know you knew that!!! You will be missed always but I will always hold a special place for you in my heart!!!! Rest In Peace and I know that wherever you are you  it’s a better place because of you!!! LOVE YOU 

Couldn’t have asked for better friends back then.  Chris was always the life of the party!!

So very sad to hear of Chris’s passing. I remember him from the neighborhood and school. Deepest sympathy to the Tschupp family. You are all in my prayers.

Chris sent me this pic about two months ago, us celebrating a home run he hit at TRE, my son and I would send him “stay strong” videos and he would always respond with love and gratefulness.  I am truly heartbroken for his family and the countless friends and loved ones after hearing this terrible news. God received a great man and one hell of a first line center! Love Greg and Mason Short

My deepest condolences to the Tschupp family. I went to Hooper Ave. Elementary School and Intermediate East with Chris. Always thought he was just the cutest. I had a diary when I was in 5th grade and needless to say I always wrote about Chris. I saved it all these years. Fast forward to 2021 and I connected with his sister Lori. We work together at Beachwood elementary school and  We became fast friends. I shared my diary with her and had a few laughs. Lori shared some of the pages of my diary with Chris and it gave him a smile. May Chris rest in eternal peace. I will cherish my childhood memories.  

Sadness hit hard today
Emotions we love you Chris
You fought hard as you always did
Emotions we love you Chris
I am so glad to have grown up with you
Emotions we love you Chris
I am glad to be able to call you a friend
Emotions we love you Chris
You will forever be in my thoughts and in my heart. As I train in the gym as I see the sunset as I gaze at the stars as I hike those mountains and see waterfalls. You will be there
Emotions we love you Chris
Prayers go out to you and your family and all of our friends. 
Emotions. We  love you Chris
It time to rest you fought hard you brought so much awareness and hope 
Emotions we love you Chris
When you look down on us know there are so many that you have touched 
Emotions. We love you Chris
Rest now 
You are at peace 
Until we see each other again
Emotions. I love you Chris

Our hearts go out to Chris' family.  We remember him in his teen years being friends with both my daughter and son...........his years at Trinity Pawling and watching his career soar.  He will always be in our  heart and prayers.

Words can't describe what  the loss of Chris  means, because he was so many things to so many different people.  The story of his life seemed like it was written for a movie, almost a fairytale. The story ended much too soon, but his memory will live on for generations.  I know that he is skating as fast as he can in a brand new, healthy body. I will pray for his soul for the rest of my life. God Bless You Chris. 

So so sorry to read this … our condolences to the entire Tschupp family …Chris will  Always will be remembered as that adorable little boy , handsome kid that lived down the street … Prayers for all of you ❤️, Love and light - Carlene Russo Fairgrieve and the entire Russo Family from Wake Forest Drive .. 

Sending prayers and love to the family and friends of Chris.  

Christopher I will always cherish our childhood memories when we played scenes from Grease with Lori and Laura and watched Tom Johns jumping off the diving board naked  from your parents bedroom window when we were little. Lol. We had a lot of laughs.  I know your in a better place now.  Please tell my dad I love and miss him. Rest In Peace.  I will see you again. Xoxo Chrissie Anderson 

The strength and love exhibited by everyone who cherished and cared for Chris can only be described as blessings from above.  Chris, your spirit and fight matched how you lived your life. God Bless you my friend..

I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep Chris and your family in my prayers.
