Christopher Andrew Foxworthy passed away peacefully on January 24, 2020.

He was born on February 12, 1952 in Carmel, CA and was raised in the community of Royal Oaks/Watsonville. He attended Hall District Elementary School, Watsonville High School and Cabrillo College. He was very competitive in sports while going to school, winning a CCS title at Watsonville High School in Track and Field. He earned numerous medals for running and his CCS title time has yet to be broken. He was the Varsity quarterback in high school when he was only a Sophomore which was a testament to his skills and abilities in football.

Chris was married to Judith Foxworthy in 1975. They were married for fourteen years and had four children.

He was a carpenter for many years and started his own construction company as a general contractor in Salinas. He worked in construction until he found his calling to become an actor/producer of movies. He played a major role in the movie "Thunder Over Reno". He had great aspirations and founded Clarity Entertainment, Inc., which produced Christian based family movies.

Chris enjoyed watching the 49ers, Raiders and the San Francisco Giants. He loved gardening and going to the sporting events of his grandchildren. His favorite thing to do was spending time with his family. He made sure that there was plenty of food for everyone to eat. Always full of fun, he was the family jokester growing up. He did imitations of Donald Duck and Woody Woodpecker to make everyone laugh. He had a deep love and devotion to God and would share this with others, wherever he went. He was loved and will be missed by all his family and friends.
