Christopher Dey Obituary

End: 2025-06-06T23:00:00
Location: Vander Plaat-Vermeulen Memorial

In loving memory of Christopher Dey of Wyckoff, New Jersey, who departed this world on May 30, 2025 at the age of 41. Christopher leaves behind a legacy remembered by family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Christopher Dey to pay them a last tribute.

As we bid Christopher farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Christopher is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He is survived by: his parents, Donald Dey and Holley Dey (Manbeck); his wife Erin Dey (Gross); his daughter Cameron Dey; and his brothers, Douglas and James Dey. He is also survived by his extended family and the many friends.

Visitation will be held on Friday, June 6th 2025 from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the Vander Plaat-Vermeulen Memorial (530 High Mountain Rd, Franklin Lakes, NJ 07417).

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Christopher's name to Good Grief https://good-grief.org.

Tripp Handke wrote a sympathy message

“As fraternity brothers at Lehigh, Chris and I were friends. Following our time at Lehigh, Chris and I reunited in New York City a few years later and developed an extremely close friendship while both living there. We shared many laughs and unforgettable experiences over the years, all of which I look back on extremely fondly and are memories I will cherish forever. He was like a brother to me, and I will miss him deeply. Love you, man. Rest in Peace. -Tripp”

Scott Schaffran wrote a sympathy message

“Hi, this is Chris’s friend Scott from Lehigh. As a freshman and sophomore, Chris would hang out at the house a fair bit but was quiet so the brothers didn’t really get a sense of who he was. I knew he would make a great addition so when I became rush chair, I made sure we gave him a bid. As time passed, he became one of the most universally well liked guys in the house. I maintained my friendship with Chris over the years and cherished it (4 of us spoke on a text chain daily). I will miss him.”
