The man. The myth. The legend...Christopher James

Hi, my name is Cleo Sulit and I'm raising funds on behalf of the James and Panganiban families due to Chris' sudden tragic passing.

The man. The myth. The legend.

It is with deep seated anguish and bittersweet grace the James and Panganiban families announce the unforeseen tragic passing of an exceptionally admirable, humorous, kind-hearted, quick-witted, and unimaginably incomparable husband, son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, friend and colleague, Christopher Allan James, on Tuesday, January 9, 2024.

World-renowned for his lack of patience, confidence in his opinion, and a knack for “telling it like it is”, were traits that could never by overshadowed by his affective presence, one-of-a kind personality, boisterous laughter, and mischievous grins.

Never short on words, every sentence Chris spoke contained a witty, comical, and sometimes unnecessary sarcastic remark. From dubbing himself “the favourite child” to truly believing he was the “most hilarious man on earth”, Chris laughed inappropriately at every chance, learned what he wanted to learn, fixed what he wanted to fix, and loved who he wanted to love.

A true comedian, rum aficionado, avid fisherman, car enthusiast, and natural conversationalist, Chris was always the life at any party. He kept people rolling in laughter because he could find humour in the most mundane life circumstances.

But no matter how busy everyday life got in the way, he was never too preoccupied to hit the pause button and be there for the ones he loved and adored.

Authentic to the core with a genuine soul, he was a rare combination of someone who embraced life and had a firm understanding of what was important — the simplicity of living a life with those you love.

His beloved ones are heartbroken, devastated, understandably shocked by this loss and unfortunately not financially prepared for all that goes along with the unexpected costs of service. Please consider donating, no matter how big or small, as any amount will truly help the families during this difficult time. Chris had such an impact on all those he met, forever leaving an imprint in all our hearts...it's now our turn to give back to his family in their time of need.
