Christopher Charles Curry, affectionately known as “Critt,” passed away at Prisma Health Richland Hospital on May 16, 2024 surrounded by his family.   He was born on May 9, 1987 to Paula Lavonna Curry and the late John Henry Mayers.

At an early age, Critt gave his life to Christ and spent many years worshiping at Providence A.M.E. Church in Little Mountain, SC.   He was educated in the public school system of Chapin, SC.  He continued his education studying carpentry as well as did work in security.  

Critt had many interests and talents.  He really loved his dogs.  He spent hours upon hours caring for, breeding and loving on his dogs.   He was a great cook and an avid fisherman.  He loved motorcycles and was an active member of the motor sports club Bad Boyz MSC Columbia.

Above all, Critt was most passionate about his love for family and friends.  Anytime he was called upon, Critt was there.  He made people smile and lit up the room everywhere he went.  He made jokes and kept everyone around him laughing.
