Our  beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather, and Son, Christopher Levern McCoy was born to Margaret Echols McCoy and the late Calvin Levern McCoy and departed this life on March 22, 2024 to join our Heavenly Father in Glory.

Christopher, affectionately known as "Chris", was born on March 25, 1971 in Florence, South Carolina. He attended Carver Elementary School and was a graduate of West Florence High School where he met the love of his life  Serena W. Canty. Chris went into the workforce and served a number of years at Florence Truss and Carolina Furniture Works Incorporated. He earned his contractor's license and worked part-time to help with many housing projects.  He could also paint extremely well.  He also pursued many entrepreneurship endeavors and was actively working on putting together a trucking company. Chris was currently employed with Lake City Housing Authority in Lake City, SC.

Chris had great faith and believed in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He always went out of his way to lend a helping hand to those in need. He greatly enjoyed cooking and could "throw down" in the kitchen "so to speak", and was a grill master. He loved spending time with his family, fishing and watching animal documentaries. If you knew him you know that he was a songbird. He loved listening to old school rhythm and blues along with soul music and would always dance and sing his heart out.  Chris was very head-strong, strong willed and was always determined to complete anything he set his mind to.

Chris had a very, very close relationship with his mother Margaret and all of his siblings.  They had a special bond and the memories will be cherished forever.

Chris and Serena were married for thirty-one blessed years. Their union produced two beautiful girls, Infinity C. Osewa and Melena C. McCoy. His legacy will always be cherished by his wife Serena  and daughters , a son-in-law Ishola Osewa, a grandson Mordecai Osewa, his mother Margaret Echols McCoy, father in law, Rev. Dr. Ralph W. Canty, Sr. (Toye), mother in law, Dr. Jacqueline Wright-Canty, his siblings, Jason McCoy (Pam), Wyvetra McCoy, Calvin McCoy (Felicia), and Marcus McCoy.; three brothers in law, Bryant Scarborough, Ralph W. Canty, Jr., Richburg Canty, three sisters in law, Dr. Gequana Thomas, Quannice Thomas, and Christina Jackson; a special sister Mildred Bozier Johnson, a special aunt (Diana McCoy Ellis), a special uncle (Treble McCoy), a goddaughter Chelsey Sherrell Jackson a special cousin Sandra Eaddy and a host of other aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents respectively Tom McDaniel, Margaret Echols McDaniel, Hessy McCoy and Pauline McCoy, three aunts, Loretta McCoy, Doris McCoy, Gayle McCoy, a cousin, Clarence Chucky Eaddy, an uncle, Edward McCoy.

Though we mourn this loss, we believe that Chris is resting at peace in the arms of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We will miss his presence, bubbly personality, and infectious laugh. His spirit will forever live in our memories as we take comfort in the faith in knowing that we will meet again one day.
