Obituary of Chris P. Pinheiro

Chris P. Pinheiro, 56, of Dayton, passed peacefully on October 30, 2014 surrounded by his loving and supportive family. Chris worked for Malouf Ford for 17 years as one of their top sales consultants. He was an active member in the community and volunteered his time transporting medical patients to and from their appointments. Most importantly, family and friends were Chris's passion and joy. He treasured every holiday and event they celebrated. He inherited the love of reading and the acceptance of all people from his parents. He especially enjoyed riding the open road on his motorcycle especially with the love of his life of 28 years, Joann. He was a lover of music and playing the guitar, which he shared with his siblings. Some of the best times of his life were dirt bike riding, quad riding, and motorcycle riding with his brother-in-laws, Kenny and Alex. One of his favorite pastimes was waiting to see what his mother-in-law Rita, made for dinner. He touched the lives of many people with his charm, generosity and trademark sense of humor all the way to the end. He was very proud of and is survived by his loving wife Joann and two amazing daughters, Melissa and Heather Pinheiro; loving parents George and Arlene Pinheiro, mother-in-law Rita Krasznai, supportive siblings Scott, Gregory and Michelle Pinheiro; and adoring nieces, nephews, relatives, friends, faithful dog Madison, his cat Binx, and his awesome fish Newbert.
