Charles "Christopher" Mantia's Obituary
Christopher Mantia passed away peacefully at home on January 1, 2026, at the age of 54. An avid lover of life and laughter, he will be deeply missed by those that knew and loved him. Christopher never met a stranger and looked for the good in everyone he met. Above all else, Christopher’s greatest joy was being a father.
Christopher took great pride in his 13-year career at Nova Biomedical, where he most recently served as National Manager of Connectivity Field Support. He truly loved his work and the many people he met while traveling across the country, forming friendships wherever his job took him.
Christopher is survived by his loving mother Alyce Mantia Price, stepdad Thomas Price, his three beautiful daughters whom he cherished, Hadley Mantia, Mackenna Mantia and Ruby Greenlaw, aunt Cindy Corum, uncle Donnie Corum, aunt Renée Sardelli, cousin Michael Stevens, stepmom Maggie Mantia, and a slew of beloved family and friends.
Christopher is joined in heaven by his dad, Richard Mantia. Christopher’s legacy lives on in the love he shared and the laughter he brought into the lives of others.
A celebration of life ceremony will be held Wednesday, January 7th at 2PM at the Riverside Chapel located at Memorial Park Funeral Home and Cemetery in Memphis.
In lieu of flowers, please send memorial donations to American Diabetes Association.
