Obituary for
Christopher Peter Sennas
Christopher Peter Sennas born on April 9, 1967 in Nyack, New York to his parents, Fran and Semo Sennas, passed away peacefully on May 24, 2021 following a brief and valiant fight with cancer. He was surrounded by family and friends. Chris was a graduate of Nyack High School’s class of 1985, where he earned All County and All Conference honors in lacrosse. He graduated from Roanoke College in 1989 where he was a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity and a four-year member of the men’s lacrosse team.
Following college, Chris pursued his passion for skiing and moved to Utah joining his lifelong friend and soul sibling, Suzie McDowell. In Utah, Chris began a 30-year career in plumbing earning a Master Plumber license and becoming a partner in Joe Griffith Plumbing, serving the Park City, Utah community.
Chris had a fun-loving spirit that brightened the lives of all who were lucky enough to have known him with a deep devotion to his family and friends (lifelong and new). He found great joy in music, especially the Grateful Dead, and in his beloved dogs, Zeb, Coogan, Boggs and Chop. Chris will be missed always, remembered always, and beloved always by his family and many friends.
Chris is survived by his loving mother, Fran; wife Mary; adored children, Christopher (16) and daughter, Seanie (Siobhan) (12); brother-in-law Tom McGowan, and nieces Ryan and Casey. He is predeceased by his beloved father, Semo; and his favorite, his sister Stacey, 9.11.01.
A celebration of Chris’ life will take place on a date yet to be determined. It will likely include family and friends, music and laughter, and take place near the water – all things loved by Chris.
