In loving memory of Christopher Antuna
Christopher “Chris” Antuna of Worcester, MA, was an extraordinary soul whose talents, heart, and faith touched everyone he met. A gifted chef with years of experience across diverse kitchens and a trusted personal chef to notable clients, Chris turned meals into moments of warmth and belonging. In his hands, cooking became a language of love.
Chris was also an avid and competitive gamer, ranking highly in several Nintendo events. He brought that same excitement and generosity into the lives of the children he adored. With his nieces and nephews, he shared whole worlds:
A man of deep faith, Chris often walked Worcester’s parks with his Bible in hand, striking up conversations that left people seen and encouraged. His gift for connection was remarkable—he could lift spirits, nudge loved ones beyond their comfort zones, and remind people of their worth. He tried to help others find light, even when he struggled to find it for himself. His courage, charm, and adventurous spirit made every day feel like a new chance to help, learn, laugh, and love.
Above all, Chris was a devoted father to his son, Tidus Antuna, whom he loved beyond measure. He was also a cherished brother to Ricardo (Renee) Diaz, Cristina Antuna, Julio Antuna, and Gina Antuna; and a beloved uncle to Cristopher Flecha and many more nieces and nephews who will forever carry his stories and lessons.
Chris’s legacy lives on in every life he brightened: in the meals shared, the games won and lost, the conversations about faith and courage, and the countless acts of kindness offered without hesitation. May we honor him by living as he did with creativity, open hearts, and the bravery to treat every day as a fresh beginning.
Family and friends are welcomed to a celebration of Chris' life with a graveside service on Friday, October 10th at 1:30pm in Hope Cemetery, 119 Webster Street, Worcester.
