Christopher Michael Macchiarella

CHRISTOPHER MICHAEL MACCHIARELLA, 30, of North Little Rock, went to be with Jesus on June 21, 2018. He was born February 23, 1988 in Rapid City, South Dakota to Michael Macchiarella and Virginia Kulpanowski. His greatest joy was being a husband to his wife, Maggie, and a father to his sons. Chris was a constant source of joy to his family, friends, and his church. His smile lit up the room; he was so full of life, and adored by all who met him and did everything he could to help people in need. One of his many passions was skateboarding. He overcame brain cancer knowing that cancer was nothing more than a scary word. He lived an amazing life. Christopher leaves behind his wife, Maggie Macchiarella; sons, Dexter and Oliver; mother, Virginia Kulpanowski; father, Michael Macchiarella; brother and best friend, Michael Macchiarella (Lindsay Smith); father and mother-in-law, Ric and Gay Atkinson; grandparents, Rich and Linda Kulpanowski; and brother-in-law, Sam Atkinson.
