Avon: Harold Christopher Heim (Chris), 66, passed away peacefully after a courageous 3.5 year battle with pancreatic cancer on Monday, April 25, 2022 at the Teresa House in Geneseo. He was born on March 22, 1956 in Muncy, Pennsylvania to the late Harold and Stella Heim. He is survived by his wife of 41 years, Alice, his children Dwight (48 of Saint Augustine, Florida) and wife Kelly, and Kristen Drummey (40 of Sudbury, Massachusetts) and her husband Alex, his grandchildren April (26), Elyse (15), Noah (14), Jack (12), Lucy (10) and Katy (7), and countless relatives and friends whose lives he touched in immeasurable ways.

While he lived out his final days in Avon, Chris’ heart never left the ball fields of Fairport, nor his lakeside home in Livonia, NY. The type of fisherman that always had a story bigger than the fish at the end of the line, Chris was the embodiment of the idea that the journey is more important than the destination.

Chris was a people person, through and through, and spent his working life in sales of all kinds – real estate, car sales, pizza, records – you name it, he sold it – but his professional pursuits were always primarily about finding connections with other people.

His true passion was for his children and their hobbies, and most days you could find him coaching football, basketball, baseball and softball. While his commitment to coaching outlived his own children’s athletic careers, he continued helping other kids develop in their sport at HAC for many years before turning to watching his grandchildren compete at their chosen craft – be it surfing, hockey, baseball, or softball, in person and then over the computer when he could no longer travel. Keeping up with their athletic endeavors brought him genuine joy and helped foster a strong connection with each of his children and grandchildren.

Always more concerned with the comfort of those around him than himself, Chris’ final days were spent entertaining his loved ones with stories of his past, hopes for their futures, and promises to look out for all from above.

A Memorial Service will take place at 11AM on Saturday, April 30, 2022 at St. Timothy Lutheran Church, 5015 Lakeville Road in Geneseo, NY.

Memorial Contributions may be made to: Wilmot Cancer Center (urmc.rochester.edu), Juvenile T1D (www.jdrf.org), and/or Teresa House of Geneseo NY (teresahouse.org).
