Christopher Michael Black

Christopher Michael Black passed away on Tuesday, May 17, 2016 with his family at his side following a brief but courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.
Chris was born on September 16, 1975, the beloved son of Terry and Pamela Black. He attended Concord City Schools and Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. Chris built his first tree house at age 10 and realized his calling was to become a talented carpenter. Chris founded CB Builders with his best friend Bobby Will, and together, they constructed many homes in the Concord and South Charlotte areas.
Left to remember Chris are his parents; son, Braxton Stewart Black of Mt. Pleasant; a brother, Everett Black (Lisa); nephews, William and Matthew of Columbia, SC; a sister, Alexis Hooks (Blake) of Jacksonville, NC; aunt, Marilyn Wendt (Bill) of Raleigh, NC; uncles, Barry McKinney (Julie) of Sparta, NC, Dwight Black (Wanda) of Wilson, NC, Phil Black of Charlotte, NC; and several cousins. Chris was preceded in death by his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward McKinney of Concord, NC and Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Black of Kannapolis, NC.
A memorial service in celebration of Chris’ life will be held at Wilkinson Funeral Home Chapel on Sunday, May 22, 2016 at 2:00 pm. The family will greet friends following the service at the funeral home. A private internment will take place at a later date at Oakwood Cemetery where Chris will rest next to his beloved Grandmother, Jeanette Litaker McKinney
Our family wishes to express their profound thanks to Hospice and Palliative Care of Cabarrus County and especially to Chris’ caregiver, Susan Yucra, whose kindness, compassion and tireless efforts sustained our family though this difficult time.
