Christopher Thomas Gentry

Christopher Thomas Gentry, 38, of Quinton, Virginia, departed this earthly life prematurely on May 5, 2025.

Chris was born on Feb. 10, 1987, to his cherished mother, Joy (Groux) and father, J. Thomas (Tom) Gentry.

Chris’ departure leaves an unfillable void in their live, yet they find comfort in their memories shares and knowing that he is at peace.
