Christopher Thomas Booth

BARRE - Christopher Thomas Booth, formerly of Barre, passed away Thursday October 5, 2017, at his home in Plattsburgh, New York at the age of 39.

Chris was born on September 21, 1978 in Berlin, VT, the son of Thomas and Cheryl (Lafreniere) Booth of Fort Myers, FL. He attended Barre Town Elementary School and graduated from Spaulding High School class of 1997. He also attended Endicott College in Beverly, MA.

Chris was a very special son, brother, nephew, cousin and friend and was loved by all who knew him. He was the type of guy you just couldn't get mad at, Chris could sweet talk his way out of just about anything...which he needed to do plenty of times as the Class Clown in school growing up. His smile was contagious and he always wanted to make everyone around him happy. Those of us that were close to Chris knew that he was struggling at times, but he would never let you know it...he always had that big smile and something positive to say. Growing up, Chris loved sports, he played soccer and lacrosse for Spaulding and he also enjoyed playing basketball with his brother and friends. He was also an excellent skier and loved being outdoors and spending time with his family and friends.

Chris was survived by his father, Thomas Booth, his mother Cheryl (Lafreniere) Booth, his brother, Scott Booth, and his dog Sonny as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. Chris will be missed so much by all who were lucky enough to be a part of his life.

A funeral service will be held on Friday, October 13, 2017, at 11:00am at Hooker and Whitcomb Funeral Home, 7 Academy Street, Barre. A celebration of Chris' life will follow at Millstone Hill Barn & Lodge, 59 Little John Road, Websterville. For a memorial guestbook, visit www.hookerwhitcomb.com
