Christopher James Dickinson of Branford, who graced us with absolute commitment to family, lost his courageous battle with cancer on Sunday November 5, 2017 in Boston, MA, after a brief illness. Chris was born July 10, 1974 in New London, CT, son of David and Carol Dickinson of Venice, FL. He was the beloved husband of Shanna Davis Dickinson and a wonderful father to his four children, Morgan Dickinson, Sage LaVacca, Liana Dickinson, and Gabriel Cuozzo.

He was a devoted husband, father, friend and employee and touched the lives of so many people that he met. His morals and convictions were unshakable and Chris was a true man of his word every day.
