Obituary: Christopher Corcoran

Lifelong New Rochelle resident passes away at 61.

(Craig O'Brien)

We mournfully announce the passing of beloved Terence Christopher
“Chris” Corcoran, 61, of New Rochelle, New York, where he lived for his
entire life. Christopher passed away in November, 2022.

Christopher was born to Mary Ellen and Terry Corcoran on September 16, 1961. He graduated from New Rochelle High School in 1980.

Christopher lived a full and vibrant life with more friends than you
could count, many of whom made themselves known to his family in recent
months; the amount of love and care expressed by friends to his mother
and siblings was a great source of comfort during troubling times. He
was well loved by many for his sense of humor and penchant for telling
jokes, conscientious nature, and kind-hearted soul. He was young at
heart and loved to give gifts, often partaking in the merriment of his
generosity.
