Christopher Katz: A Life of Service and Love

Honoring the Life and Legacy of Christopher Katz

With deep sorrow and heavy hearts, we mourn the loss of our beloved friend, brother, and classmate Christopher Katz, who passed away far too soon. Christopher Katz was not only a dedicated recruit officer for the United States Capitol Police (USCP) but also a proud Lieutenant in the Army Reserve who devoted his life to serving and protecting others. His unwavering commitment to his community and his country was matched only by his kindness, loyalty, and sense of humor that made him a friend to so many.

To his classmates at USCP ROC 253, he was known for his bravery, compassion, and his willingness to go above and beyond, always putting the needs of others before his own. His service in the Army shaped him into the strong, honorable person we all knew and loved. Whether on duty or off, he carried himself with integrity and a sense of duty that was truly inspiring.

But beyond the uniform, Christopher Katz was a friend, a brother, a son, and a mentor. He was someone who could always be counted on in times of need, offering a helping hand or a word of encouragement when it was most needed. His loss leaves a hole in our hearts that will never be filled, but his memory will live on in all of us.

We’ve created this GoFundMe to support Katz’s family and loved ones as they navigate this difficult time. The funds will help provide some relief during this incredibly challenging period and will go directly to his parents Lillian Ojeda and Tom Katz. Any contribution, no matter the size, will honor Christopher Katz’s legacy and help those he loved most.

Thank you for your support, your thoughts, and your prayers. We know that Christopher Katz would be humbled and grateful for all the love surrounding him, just as we are grateful for the incredible impact he made on all of our lives.
