The family of Chris Condo is heartbroken to announce his passing after complications from a stroke. To have Chris as a loved one, you knew you were fortunate to have a man who would go to any length for you. 

Chris was a native Memphian and spent the majority of his life here. He grew up in East Memphis and Germantown and graduated from Germantown High School. 

While his interests were diverse, he very early in life grew to love wrestling, all forms of mixed martial arts and practicing his latest takedown or choke hold on his (sometimes willing) siblings. He also grew to love animals and honestly never met an animal, any animal, that he didn't want to take home. From his snake named Muffin to his Akita, Gabby, and every other version of 2 or 4 legged, even winged animals, he loved them all and when you got past the tough exterior, he'd love you too.

Chris might not have agreed with everyone on anything, but he never stopped learning and loved to push the boundaries to make a point. He never backed down and enjoyed going head to head with everyone on just about any topic, but in the end he would always be there when you needed him the most. 

Chris was one of the smartest people I've ever known, although he claimed the opposite. He read more than anyone I've ever met. Despite having to overcome dyslexia as a child, he never stopped learning and loved exploring and discovering new things. 

A lifelong vegetarian, he refused to eat meat, he loved all things dairy and starch, family gatherings and teaching his nephew choke holds. 

He was never without a knife of some sort and usually gifted them to the people around him. He collected tattoos that he deemed worthy and was passionate about so many topics. 

Chris was never wealthy, but was generous in so many ways. He never turned down a request, no matter when it occurred, although he preferred everything be done when the sun was down. 

Chris was a son, brother, friend, and everything else to so many more. If you ever met him, we know he left an impression on you. 

Chris has left us too soon and he’s already so terribly missed. 

Chris was preceded in death by his father Tom, and leaves his mother, Jean Condo, his sister Molly (Jeramy), brother Brennan (Kyra); his nephew Holden Condo, and his platonic soulmate Melissa Polson. 

In lieu of services, a celebration of life will be announced soon.
