It is with heavy hearts that the family announces the sudden passing of Chris Folz (58) on February 17th, 2025. Husband, true love and soul mate to Brenda (Pajuluoma) of 36 years. Father to Jessica (Danika) and Travis.
Privileged to finally be a Pepe to the most amazing and strongest little boy Ryley.
Survived by his parents Reginald and Sylvia Folz. Brother to Monica (Danny Battiston) and extended family and friends too numerous to mention.
Chris’s passion for the things he loved was immeasurable. He loved to play guitar, sing, write, record music and work on home improvement projects. He loved to play and watch many sports and was always cheering for his Habs. He was the captain of our softball team, enjoyed being on the golf course and playing a round with his favourite foursome Brenda, Danny & Monica.
Chris was a long time employee of Epiroc and was the embodiment of a true hard working man.
Chris was truly happy with a simple life, being surrounded with his family and friends. He took great pride in being able to share his wisdom and knowledge with everyone.
He truly lived by his mantra; Family, Friends & Fridays.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made directly to Northern Ontario Families of Children with Cancer (NOFCC) in his name or charity of your choice.
A Celebration of Chris's Life will take place at the Idylwylde Golf & Country Club. 400 Walford Rd, Sudbury Ontario, Saturday March 8th, 2025 from 1:00pm to 6:00pm, with words of remembrance at 3:00pm.

Despite not seeing Chris since I was young, this news absolutely devastated me. Chris was my neighbour growing up and I was lucky to be babysat by Brenda and spend a lot of time in their home. I have many cherished childhood memories with Chris. Chris was always kind to my brother despite him having gone through many challenges in life. My brother looked up to Chris like a second father and I know he would send his condolences if he could. He truly saw the good in people. I hope he’s riding some sweet classic cars up there. I’m so very sorry for your loss Folz family.
