Obituary of Christopher A Sorensen

Christopher Alan Sorensen, 27, of Kiamesha Lake, NY, lost his life in a tragic accident nearby his home on December 30, 2019. Christopher was born March 24, 1992 at St John's Riverside Hospital in Yonkers, NY, the first of three children born to Alan John Sorensen and Jane Cavallino-Sorensen. His early childhood was spent in Yonkers, New York until moving to the Rock Hill, NY, where he grew up with his family. He later moved to Kiamesha Lake with his fiancé of nearly five years, Barbara Schulze. Christopher, the eldest child of three, was a 2011 graduate of Monticello High School and attended SUNY Sullivan. He was a young man of twenty-seven with a kind heart and a belief that with hard work and compassion, he and others, could make a difference in the world. Chris was always encouraging and supportive of his younger sisters, Jaclynn and Sara, and never hesitated to let them know how proud he was of them. This came naturally to him because, with a smile on his face, he always put others before himself. Prior to his death Christopher was working for the Monticello Central School District in the Empire After School Program at the Chase Elementary School. He enjoyed this work very much and was well liked. Christopher is preceded in death by his grandmother Laura Cavallino, grandfather Lawrence Cavallino, grandfather Harold Sorensen, and his uncles Harold and Raymond Sorensen.
