In loving memory of Christopher W.  Dearth (Chris) of Columbus, Ohio. He was born on March 29, 1980 to Charles and Sandra Dearth.  He passed away at the age of 45 on Monday April 7, 2025.


Growing up, Chris enjoyed playing soccer, baseball, and football.  He was a Cub Scout, and liked doing scouting activities with his dad.  In middle school he was an accomplished wrestler.  Chris was a 1998 graduate of Westerville South High School.


As an adult, Chris faced many life challenges and limitations due to chronic mental health issues.  However, he found solace in going camping, fishing, listening to music, journaling, and taking care of his ferret named Spunky.  His limited work experience was in the fast food industry.


Chris is survived by his parents, Chuck and Sandy Dearth, his brother Bryan, his sister Lindsay, brother-in-law Brent, and 5 nephews Kelton, Landon, Maxon, Carson and Cooper, 3 aunts, 4 uncles, and and several cousins.


As our beloved son, Chris will live on forever in our prayers and memories.  He will be missed by many family and friends.  May he rest peacefully in the arms of Christ.
