Christopher was born on April 19, 1963, to Clare Earnest Lassiter and the late Thomas Uzzelle “Zelle” Lassiter, Jr. He graduated from Osborne High School and, following graduation, proudly served his country in the United States Army.

He especially enjoyed making modifications to his vehicles and took pride in making them his own.

In his free time, Christopher loved to hunt and fish. He enjoyed the outdoors and the time spent pursuing the hobbies he loved. Above all, he was a son, brother, father, stepfather, grandfather, and friend whose memory will be carried by those who knew and loved him.

He is survived by his loving mother, Clare Earnest Lassiter; daughter, Bayley Ann Lassiter; stepson, Christopher Wayne Atkins; brothers, Thomas U. Lassiter VII and Robert Earnest Lassiter; and grandchildren, Jayden Kendrick James Respress, Peyton Michael Respress, and Liam Carter Atkins.

He was preceded in death by his father, Thomas Uzzelle “Zelle” Lassiter, Jr.
