Christopher was born in Harnett County on November 6th, 1985 to Sandra Gordon Latoche and Stephen Latoche, although he spent most of his childhood in Knightdale NC where he made life long friends. Everyone that knew Chris was drawn to his lively spirit and infectious laugh, his smile could light up the room. Chris grew up in The Temple of Pentecost Church where he learned the ways of God and was a proud Bible quiz champion. Chris graduated from East Wake High school where he loved playing football for years. He went on to become a skilled painter/carpenter and ran his own home improvement company for the last 7 years. Chris was meticulous in his work and took great pride in making someone's home beautiful. One beloved family tradition of Chris's was going to eat at Bali Hai, he introduced many loved ones to their food and brought them into our tradition. The greatest joy in Chris's life was becoming a father. He adored his little girl more than anything in the whole world and he was the best at getting down on her level, they always had so much fun together. Chris was so dearly loved and will be incredibly missed by so many people.
