He relocated from Albany New York to Dacula Georgia in May 2021. He resided with his paternal grandparents whom he also helped to care for. Christopher was currently employed at Capstone Logistics as a Shipping & Receiving Supervisor in Braselton Georgia.

He later worked for Harrison and Burrows Bridge Construction, where he later delighted in traveling to Port Jervis NY to work on a 2-year bridge replacement project.

He is the father of a beautiful 13-year-old daughter Tamia Christine Dawkins who he loved, cherished, and spoke about daily.

He is predeceased by his uncle Sheldon and grandfather Wilbur.
