Christopher R. Glavin

Hampton Falls – Christopher R. Glavin, 37, of Hampton Falls, formerly of Methuen, MA died unexpectedly on Monday, October 10, 2022 at his home. He was born in Methuen, January 17, 1985 a son of Michael A. and Peri L. (O’Neil) Glavin of Hampton Falls. Chris was raised in Methuen and graduated from Methuen High School with the Class of 2003. He was employed as an Ironworker with Iron Workers Local 7 of Boston for over 17 years. He enjoyed fishing, motorcycles, 4 wheeling, fast cars, animals and plants or horticulture. In addition to his parents he leaves his brother Matthew Glavin and his wife Heather and their children Michael and Violet of Derry, his sister Kathryn Ireson and her husband David and their children Andrew and Thomas of Salisbury, MA, his canine friend Nibbles, aunts, uncles and cousins. Chris is predeceased by his grandparents, Raymond and Margaret “Margie” Glavin, Richard and Margaret O’Neil. Chris suffered from addiction much of his adult life, a disease he worked tirelessly to fight, though he was unable to shake the negative spiral that is so common among those who grapple with addiction. Chris was not his addiction. He was a son, brother, uncle, cousin, and a friend. Chris was one of those special people who helped others ward off their demons, while simultaneously battling his own. He offered support to those struggling - always doing his best to lend an ear or offer a helping hand. When you were in his company you wanted to stay. He was known to bring humor, levity, and sometimes - shocking words and antics wherever he went. He can be further described as energetic, loyal, and kind. It is the hope of the family that the cruel disease of addiction will trend toward a broader degree of acceptance and de-stigmatization , creating a sense of urgency surrounding a massive health crisis that continues to affect so many. Visiting hours will be held from 3-5 P.M. Sunday, October 16, 2022 at the Remick & Gendron Funeral Home-Crematory, 811 Lafayette Road, Hampton.
