With profound sadness, we remember Christopher Cross James, lovingly known as Chris Glizzy, whose life was tragically cut short on October 12, 2026, in Berwick, Pennsylvania, following a fatal shooting. Born on January 9, 2001, in Philadelphia, Christopher was a beloved brother whose passing has left his family and loved ones facing a loss that words can hardly express.
Behind every name is a person with a story, a family who loves them, and memories that remain long after they are gone. For Christopher’s family, the pain of losing someone so deeply valued has created an emptiness that cannot easily be filled.
Chris was a cherished brother to those who knew and loved him. His stepbrother, Joshua Snyder, along with his blood brother, Jordan C. Allen, and blood sister, Rebecca Marie, are among those mourning a loss that has forever changed their family.
A life should never have to end because of a moment of conflict. The pain left behind by violence reaches far beyond the moment it occurs, affecting families, friends, and entire communities. It serves as a heartbreaking reminder of how precious every human life is and how deeply one person’s absence can be felt.
Christopher’s life was more than the circumstances surrounding his death. He was someone who shared connections, created memories, and held a place in the hearts of those around him. Though his journey ended far too soon, the love people have for him remains a lasting part of his story.
As his family navigates the difficult days ahead, they are seeking support to help provide Chris with a proper burial and a meaningful farewell. Every act of kindness, every prayer, and every gesture of compassion can bring comfort during a time of unimaginable grief.
The loss of Christopher Cross James is a painful reminder that behind every tragedy is a family left behind, carrying memories and love that cannot be taken away. His name deserves to be remembered with dignity, respect, and compassion.
During this heartbreaking time, may Christopher’s loved ones find strength in one another, comfort in the memories they shared, and peace as they honor the life he lived.
Rest in peace, Christopher Cross James “Chris Glizzy.” Your life mattered, your memory will endure, and you will remain forever loved by those who carry you in their hearts.
