Christopher K. Palmer Rochester NY May 13, 2026. Predeceased by his parents Dr. James A and Kathleen Palmer, brother in law Mark Ronan. Survived by daughters Alana, Juliana, and Gabriella; Papa Chris to Bella and Charlie; sister Maureen Ronan; brothers Michael (Martha), Patrick (Erin), Sean (Terri); as well as many nieces and nephews.
Chris grew up in Greece, NY. A 1982 graduate of Cardinal Mooney HS where he found a passion for football, fitness, and many life long friendships. Following in his fathers footsteps briefly attending Niagara University. A decades long career with LIUNA Local 453, working on many construction projects in NY, SC. Chris was known for his strong work ethic, often sought out to assemble a crew. Eventually seeking work close to home so he could be with his daughters. A long time member of HAMC, his true love was the open road on two wheels with his brothers. Traveling the country, often with the girls in tow to share the experiences. Chris lived life on his own terms with strength, loyalty, and respect.
Thanks to the care team at URMC and especially the HAMC for the enduring care and support. Donations can be made to URMC ALS clinic. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
