Christopher Anthony Dodge was born on January 27, 1961 in Cleveland, Ohio to Barbara A. and the late Robert R. Dodge. Chris graduated from Glen Oak High school in Canton, Ohio; he was a gifted basketball player who also enjoyed playing football and baseball during his formative years. He worked at Vinfen and was lucky enough to love his job and found great satisfaction and a sense of fulfillment during his employment there. He loved his children and said two of the best days of his life were the births of his son, Robert Joseph, and daughter, Cassandra Marie. He was husband to Sandy Focht Dodge and step-father to her sons, Justin and Shawn Focht. He was older brother to Laurel K. Dodge and Michael B. (Barbara Fellows) Dodge. He was god son to Bonnie (William) Cusick, nephew to Charles (Margaret) Bezoski, and was preceded in death by his uncles, Richard (Virginia) Bezoski) and Paul (Linda) Bezoski. Chris once described himself as an indestructible spiritual being, and his nurse at Beth Israel said that he had a strong spirit. Cancer may have conquered his body, but his spirit, generosity and good heart will live on in his children, family and friends. His indestructible spirit will be deeply missed.
