Christopher Angione Obituary

Christopher L. Angione
Christopher L. Angione, age 65, born in Norwalk, CT, and a longtime resident of New Milford, CT, passed away on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, at Danbury Hospital.
Chris was the owner and founder of Carriage House Events & Catering, a business he built from the ground up with dedication, creativity, and an unwavering passion for hospitality. Over more than 30 years, he grew Carriage House into one of Connecticut's premier catering and event planning companies. He took great pride in his work, creating memorable events for countless clients and forming lasting friendships along the way.
Beyond his professional success, Chris enjoyed fishing in the rivers of Litchfield County, CT, and traveling along the East Coast, including many memorable family vacations in Chatham, MA, and walks on the beaches of Jupiter, FL, where his father, Frank L. Angione, once resided.
Chris will be remembered most for his kindness, generosity, and devotion to family and friends. He had a way of making people feel welcome-whether through a shared meal, a piece of thoughtful advice, or simply by being there when he was needed most. His strength, loyalty, and deep faith in God were the foundation of the life he built and the love he shared with those around him.
Chris is survived by his wife, Janet; his two sons, Nicolas and Dillon; his brothers, Val and Brett; and many loving nieces and nephews.
A memorial service will be held at St. Francis Xavier Parish in New Milford, CT, on Saturday, March 22nd, starting with an 11:00 a.m. Mass, followed by a gathering.

Dear Janet,
I'm so sorry to see that Chris passed away. I had talked to him in the hospital, and we said we would call each other in the next week or so. I'm so glad we were able to connect before he past. I know how much he loved you and the boys. His business too. I will miss him. My heart is with you and your family. Much love to you and your family. If I had seen this earlier I would have been to church on March 22. I'm sorry .

We are so sad to hear of Chris´ passing. I first met Chris when I was Dillion´s Kindergarten teacher. We reconnected when we moved across the street. He was a great neighbor. You knew you would have a lively conversation whenever you spoke with Chris.

My heartfelt condolences go out to Chris's family and friends. I have known him since we were kids growing up in Silvermine, and I am so, so sorry to hear of his passing. When I found out he was in the catering business, I was extremely impressed to see the incredible business he had created. He was always very funny, kind and was totally devoted to his family. May the loving memories you have stay close to your hearts and know that he is at peace.

Susanne and I are as shocked as everyone to hear of this very sad news. Chris was a great friend, husband, father and talent. Everyone will miss that big smile and booming voice, and many couples will miss the experience of his special weddings. Our thoughts prayers and love go out to Janet and the boys.

My husband and I met Chris when we interviewed him to be the caterer for our daughter`s wedding back in 2019 at the Lounsbury House in Ridgefield. What an event he put on for us, we immediately formed a friendship and kept in touch with Chris long after the reception was over. After my husband died, Chris was incredibly thoughtful and kind, he often would call and say "I´m in Ridgefield tonight come and meet me for dinner," which I often did and we´d always talk about his business, his wonderful family, and vacations in Chatham. Chris will be missed by so many people, and my deepest condolences go out to Jan, his sons, and his CHEGG family. RIP Chris

I would never have guessed the first time I meet him some 26+ years ago that he would become such a dear friend and confidant. We could discuss menus, politics, family news and religion all in one conversation. Was the conversation long....of course, but if you knew Chris, that was no surprise. My sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with Jan, Nick & Dillon, family, friends and the whole crew at Carriage House Events and Catering. Chris will be dearly missed. Rest easy my friend.
