Chris is survived by his mother, Jan Sargent; his father, Tim Parenteau; grandmother, Jacquelyn Miller and grandparents Joseph and Dixie Parenteau; his dog Bandit; and many siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins. He is predeceased by his grandfather, Stanley Miller and his mentor Nancy Lyon.

Chris was a devoted fan of the Boston sports teams just like his uncle Chris whom he was named after. He was well known around New London and Newport for his heart-warming smile and open heart, sharing a hug with anyone he knew. In high school he was a member of the swim team and manager of the Varsity football team for four years and continued working with the team even after he graduated. He was deeply committed to the New England K9 Search and Rescue. He will be deeply missed by his friends, family, and all who knew him.
