| About | It is with sad regret, but faith that he is with the Lord, that we announce the passing of Christopher James Porreco of Olney, Maryland. Chris left this world unexpectedly, yet peacefully, at his home on July 5th, 2018. Chris was born on December 27th, 1972 in Hartford, Connecticut and baptized Roman Catholic at St. Patrick’s in Farmington. However, he spent the majority of his 45 years in the Washington, DC suburb of Montgomery County Maryland. Chris attended St. Elizabeth’s (Rockville) and Holy Cross (Dover) grade schools and graduated from Thomas S. Wootton High School in Rockville, Maryland before attending the University of Florida where he studied Computer Science and Information Technology. Chris' passion for all things I.T. inspired him to found PC-Teks, a small business which provided repairs, installations, security and support for clients ranging from friends and family to large corporations. He was the tireless go-to technology specialist for many and possessed a knack for solving problems/issues other I.T. professionals could not. Chris was naturally inquisitive, had an almost photographic memory, sported a sharp wit and a warm outgoing personality. Always ready with a smile, funny story or words of encouragement, Chris touched many lives and made it a habit to always think of a way to bring a smile to someone; a way to make them feel good. Chris is survived by his parents, Catherine and Richard Sutton (Boyds), brothers Wayne (Leesburg) and Scott (San Jose), grandmother Rosemary and grandfather Charles, as well as uncles, aunts, cousins and so many friends – both old and new. Chris will be forever remembered and greatly missed. A memorial Mass will be held at St. Raphael’s Catholic Church (1513 Dunster Rd., Rockville, MD 20854) on Wednesday, August 8th at 10:30 AM. After the mass, friends and family are invited to an open house reception at Chris’ parents’ home in Boyds, MD to remember Chris. |
