The world mourns the loss of a cherished soul, Larry Christopher “Chris” Dazis, who departed from this earthly realm on February 7th, 2024, at the age of 35, at Spartanburg Medical Center. A beloved husband, son, and father, Chris left an indelible mark on the hearts of those who knew him, weaving a tapestry of love, laughter, and cherished memories.
Born in Gastonia, NC, Chris was the son of Larry Raul Dazis and Jacqueline Sanders. From his earliest years, Chris exuded a vibrant energy that drew people to him. He grew up surrounded by the warmth of family, and his bond with parents Larry and Jacqueline was a testament to the power of love within a family. In a beautiful union of hearts, Chris married the love of his life, Devin Lavender Dazis.
Their journey together was marked by shared dreams, laughter, and the everyday joys of building a life as partners. A devoted husband and father, Chris found fulfillment in spending time with his five children: Ethan, Zoe, Wesleigh, Ali, and River. The love that flowed within his family became a source of strength and inspiration, creating a haven of warmth and understanding.
