Christopher Allen Organtini, Jr., age 30 of Norristown tragically left this world on July 14th. To some he was known as Chris, but to most he was simply “T”. The tragedy in T’s passing was not in the event itself, but of the many missed opportunities he had in his short life.
Many people, at their darkest hour, wish they had an angel to save them; this was not the case for our T. The last few years he had many angels come to his aid: family, friends; people that knew him, loved him and suffered along at his side. To the heartbreak of his family, T did not recognize these angels and believed his suffering was done alone. T was “more” to the people that loved and knew him best: not only a brother, but a best friend: not just a friend, but a member of the family.
He was incredibly funny. He loved to skateboard and experience every aspect of life. He truly did celebrate, living his life in the moment.
But, Ts true passion was for the quiet peace and serenity found in the connection with nature. He loved everything calm about hiking a waterfall or fishing on the beach. He found real pleasure in the beauty of nature and of the water.
Two of T’s most beloved adventures were his road trip to Canada and Miami. For each of his moments the backdrop was always music; that’s what made up his life; music, nature and friends. T left an impression on everyone he met simply with the intensity of his presence; whether it be his quick, beautifully shy smile or the awe that he left people with when they viewed his art work.
A true artist, his passion is found within the beauty and precision of his works; each one needing to meet his high standards of perfection. He was always someone to remember, even though he usually left little said. For all of T’s depth and complexity, on the outside, he was a simple man in search of simple pleasures needing little in material objects to bring him joy.
T is survived by his parents, Christopher Organtini, Sr and Dawn Organtini, his three sisters, Christina (Joseph) Galleo, Tarah (Charles) Russo, and Stephanie Organtini, nephews Camillo Cicippio and Joseph Galleo and niece Carmen Galleo as well as Baby Russo, his Nana, Judy Tarmin and countless lifelong friends. Relatives and friends are welcome to attend T’s Memorial Service Monday, July 23rd at 6:30 PM at Volpe Funeral Home, 707 W Germantown Pike, Norristown, PA 19403. Relatives and friends may call from 5:30 to 6:30 PM for family condolences.
