Chris Jespersen

January 27, 1955 - February 5, 2022

Christopher “Chris” Joseph Jespersen passed away on Saturday, February 5, 2022. He had just celebrated his 67th birthday on January 27. Chris is survived by his daughter, Kristina Jespersen of Doraville, GA; sisters Clair Sautner and Linda Carroll both of New Jersey; and brothers, Kevin Jespersen and Pete Jespersen also of New Jersey. He is preceded in death by his wife, Lourdes “Lori” Jespersen. The family finds comfort in knowing that Chris and Lori are together again. Chris was fondly known by his daughter’s friends as “Papa J.” He loved people and constantly asked about and checked in on those he cared about. He always prioritized others over himself, even if to a fault. All who knew Chris know that he was a man of great faith and a loyal partner, father and friend. It is certain that he will continue watching over his loved ones and will be greatly missed.
