Christopher Paul Iannaccone passed away peacefully at home with his family on July 12, 2021.
He is survived by his wife, Michele; his three children, Christopher, Eva, and Grace; sisters Gail Iannacone, Karen Iannaccone, Jane Lies and her husband Dale, Mary Beth Kopecky and her husband Lenny; and nieces, nephews, in-laws, cousins, and many friends.
Chris never failed to show his family and friends his generosity, humor, and support in countless ways throughout his life. Chris was an inspiration to all in his roles as a father, son, brother, uncle, cousin, friend and colleague. He gave selflessly to others, without ever expecting anything in return. The outpouring of love, admiration, and respect that he has received is a true testament to this.
Chris had a successful career in investment banking where he was well regarded and respected for his intelligence, leadership skills, hard working, and diligent work ethic.
Chris was a man of multiple interests. He loved relaxing with his family at his favorite place Stone Harbor, NJ. He loved all sports, but especially his NY Giants and Mets. Chris loved watching his favorite movies over and over without ever tiring. He was passionate and incredibly knowledgeable on the history of the NASA space program. He was an avid reader in multiple genres and could recall every detail from any book that he had ever read. Chris was not an “inside sitter.” He enjoyed among many things running, kayaking, riding waves in the ocean, and capturing many photos of sunsets on his camera.
There were so many facets of his personality that made him the wonderful man who was loved by all. Chris was known for his sharp wit, memory, athleticism, wisdom, confidence, and ability to relate to a diversity of people. However, his greatest and most important achievement was being the best husband and father to his loving family.
