Anthony Christian DeFilippo, 54, of Valdosta, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, March 17, 2016.
He was born December 26, 1961 in Bayonne, NJ. Chris loved music, playing his guitars, reading and learning history. He was a self-taught craftsman; enjoyed working and being outdoors, especially in the summer.
