Christopher Oyer, 67, of Chillicothe, went to be with the Lord, while surrounded by his loving family, at 1:20 a.m. Saturday, November 12, 2022 in the Adena Regional Medical Center following a courageous battle with cancer.
He was born August 12, 1958, in Chillicothe, Ohio, to the late Charles Lee and Beulah Imogene “Boots” Fitzwalter Oyer. On October 15, 1984, he married the former Sharon DeLotelle who survives.
In addition to his wife, surviving are children, Justin (Amy) Oyer, of Jackson, Derek (Charisa) Oyer, of Chillicothe and Allison (Julio) Gutierrez Oyer, of Chillicothe; and grandchildren, Colsen, Coen, Edeyn and Emme Oyer and Kobe Gutierrez.
Chris graduated from Huntington High School in 1974 where he was part of the first varsity football team. He was a member of W4C Church where his son, Justin serves as Pastor. Chris retired from Glatfelter after 40 years of service where he had many life long friends.
The family would like to extended a special “thank you” to all his friends who continued to support him thru his illness, especially John, Andy and Glen. His family and friends will remember his generous and kind heart, hard work and commitment to all of them.
Chris loved coaching football and was an avid Cleveland Browns fan. He loved riding his Harley Davidson and spending time with family and three dogs, Benny Bella and Meat.
We would also like to extended a special “thank you” to the staff of Adena Hospice, all the wonderful nurses on 2A at ARMC and the staff at the Adena Cancer Center where he received exceptional care.
A memorial service will be held 7:30 p.m. Thursday November 17, 2022 in the WARE FUNERAL HOME with his son, Pastor Justin Oyer officiating. The family will receive friends at the WARE FUNERAL HOME from 5 to 7:30 p.m. prior to the memorial service on Thursday.
