Christopher was born December 1, 1956, in Norwich to the late James Wright and Joyce Barrows. He was also preceded by his first wife, Eva Wright.

Following, he served in the Army, active duty, from 1976-1980 and was in the Army Reserves for an additional seven years.  After serving his country he began his career at Frontier Communication. In his 26 years of service, he had worked his way up to Complex Assignor. He received numerous accolades for his attendance and was very dedicated to this company.
Christopher was a devoted parishioner in the Catholic Faith. He found comfort in daily Mass. He enjoyed his morning walks and his frequent trips to the YMCA. Christopher loved regularly hosting gatherings for family and friends where there was sure to be enough food to feed an army.
