OBITUARY

Fitchburg – Christopher E. Rauer, 27, of Fitchburg, died on September 15, 2017 in UMass Medical Center from injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident.

Chris was born in Leominster on December 11, 1989, a son of Sharon (Richard) Livingston and Edward Rauer. He graduated from Monty Tech in 2008, specializing in auto body and mechanics. For over ten years Chris has worked for the 50/50 Diner, where he shared his love of cooking with David and Reesi Cordio, whom he considered his second set of parents. He was also currently working for the Asplundh Tree Service. Always a hard worker, Chris had previously worked for Porter Tree Service, Lakeview Landscaping, West Fitchburg Auto Body, and Scott Fors Construction.

He was very knowledgeable in the field of mechanics, and could be counted on to fix anything. He loved anything with a motor, from Jet skis to fast cars, you could guarantee Chris was working on it and enjoying every minute. Chris was a strong individual with a clever and witty sense of humor; he could light up a room and was always the life of the party. Honest, kind, generous, faithful, and selfless were just a few qualities that made Chris the lovable young man that he was. Enough cannot be said about Chris’s wonderful character and the mark he has left on his many friends and beloved family members. He will truly be missed by all who knew him.

Chris is survived by his mother, Sharon Livingston and her husband Joseph; three brothers, Justin, Michael, and Nicholas Rauer; a sister, Marissa Davis and her husband Robert; his nieces and nephews, Hannah and Nolan Davis and Dylan, Evander, Noah, and Kennedy Rauer, whom he adored; maternal grandmother Ann Brisson; paternal grandparents, Charles and Janice Rauer; uncle Steven Richard; aunt Lynda Koskinen and her husband Steven; many cousins. Chris was an animal lover and also leaves his two dogs, Sophie and Ruby.

He was predeceased by his maternal grandfather Gerald “Jerry” Richard.
