A gap that resonates with the loss of a really extraordinary spirit was left behind when Chris Taberner, fondly known as Tabsy, left this world on a Friday evening.
This was a turn of events that was both unexpected and terribly saddening. Chris was more than just a friend; he was a shining example of generosity. He had a cheerful disposition and a contagious sense of humor that made the lives of everyone he came in contact with more wonderful.
It was impossible to overstate the extent of his generosity, as he devoted himself to assisting friends and even strangers in any way that was even remotely possible. The unexpected passing of Chris has left those who knew him in a state of disbelief, and they are having a difficult time coming to grips with the sudden hole that she leaves behind.
Josie, his wife, is courageously navigating the early days of this tremendous loss among the communal sadness that is occurring. She is beginning to come to terms with the fact that she will no longer have Tabsy at her side,
and her friends and family are rallying around her to provide support and consolation with this new reality. At Eden Crematorium, arrangements are being made for a funeral service that will be humanist in style and will be a reflection of Chris’s caring and inclusive attitude. Because his loved ones are still trying to come to terms with the effect of his absence, the date has not yet been finalized.
By remembering Chris Taberner, we are honoring not just a life that was taken from us, but also a legacy of generosity, fun, and selflessness that will live on in the hearts of those who had the good fortune to have known him.
