With great sadness, the Donoflio family announces the passing of beloved son, father, uncle, great-uncle, and friend Christopher Robert Donoflio of Hayes. Born on July 10, 1980, Chris lived a life defined by passion, humor, and unrelenting zest. He died on Nov. 8, 2025.

Chris livened up every gathering with practical jokes, and a quirky sense of humor. His boundless energy and love of life were infectious. He loved to cook and create new recipes no one had tried, sharing them with those he loved.

Chris took great pride in his construction work, not just building structures, but shaping the world.

A rare gift was his uncanny ability to connect with people from all walks of life. His big heart, vibrant personality, and natural charisma made everyone feel seen and valued.

He challenged status quo and approached each day with curiosity and courage.

His greatest love was family. Nothing brought him more joy than spending time with the people he loved, sharing stories, laughter, and his discoveries.

His passing leaves behind a void that can never be filled. He is survived by his wife, Jennifer Donoflio (née Hardin); daughters, Arielle and Brittany. He is also survived by his parents, Dominick Donoflio Sr. and Anna Donoflio; stepmother, Trisha Donoflio; his brother, Dominick Donoflio Jr.; sisters, Angela Donoflio with spouse Arthur Shier, and Marie Herdegan with spouse Ken; his mother and father-in-law, Mildred and Chuck Eatmon, and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews. He also leaves behind a multitude of friends who are saddened and will miss him. He will hold a place in the hearts of many.

A Celebration of Life will be held on December 13, 2025 at 4 p.m. at the Piankatank Community League, 11888 Harcum Road, Gloucester, Va. 23061.
