Preceded in Death by his brother Edward Tabaczuk, his father Mike Katynski and grandfather Edward Baker. His pastimes included spending time with his loved ones, he was naturally a social person who always brought people together. He worked relentlessly in his younger years before falling ill to IBM (Inclusion Body Myositis). His hard-working habits allowed for Chris and Cory to buy a cottage and a boat in 2011 and celebrate the summers with his children and soon to be grandchildren at the cottage. Countless memories, laughter and joy surrounded these happy days before he lost his mobility. Early in adulthood, Chris enjoyed hunting with friends, admiring his private rifle collection, riding his Harley, and taking his family on vacations- camping, grilling and being on the water. Chris was a member of the NRA, Fraternal Order of Eagles, and a Harley enthusiast where he made countless friends and will be missed dearly by each and every one of them. Chris grew up in Detroit and went to Osborn High School, he was tenacious and had grit and, in most ways, Detroit and Chris were synonyms. He was fortunate to meet the love of his life in 1978, while working at the local grocer. They fell in love and began to create their life together, starting their journey while living in Hamtramck, Chris worked at Kowalski and brought their first baby into the world in 1983 and later moved to Warren, MI. They went on to have their second baby in Warren, MI and Chris began working at Proper Mold & Engineering. While Chris and Cory continued to build their legacy, they moved to Clinton Township MI and brought their third baby to the family. Camping, traveling, riding the Harley, hunting, and spending time with family and friends occupied his free time while he worked 60+ hours a week- he always made time for some fun. They purchased the cottage in 2011 and followed with the boat which brought so much joy to everyone before the disease gripped tight and he lost his ability to walk. His final years was spent surrounded by his grandchildren and children and loving wife- in the constant pursuit to keep him comfortable and keep him included in all family events and moments. He was so proud of his wife and all the love and joy she created with their families – Cory gave relentless energy to round the clock care and love. His final minutes were spent with Cory, proclaiming his love for her and sharing his first few moments of walking up the white stairs to heaven. God bless Chris and for the beautiful family he has create and all the life lessons he has passed on to those around him.
