Chris Skeeter Tomlinson, Duncannon, PA—The community of Duncannon mourns the unexpected passing of Chris "Skeeter" Tomlinson, a well-known local figure whose vibrant personality touched many lives. Chris was involved in a tragic motorcycle accident on Friday, October 25, and succumbed to his injuries at the scene. His passing has left a profound void in the hearts of his wife, Becky Tomlinson, and those who loved him.
Known affectionately as Skeeter, Chris was celebrated for his big, bright smile and unwavering kindness. Often seen at community events like the Hooligan Car Show and Sled Fest, he also spent recent years with Becky, forming a beloved "vintage duo" that resonated with locals. Skeeter’s generosity and warmth made everyone feel special, and his enthusiasm for country music was matched only by the love and admiration he held for his wife.
To honor Chris’s memory and assist Becky during this difficult time, Samantha Blumenschein has organized a fundraiser titled "In Loving Memory of Skeeter." This support aims to ease the financial burdens Becky faces, allowing her to focus on grieving rather than immediate expenses. Many have already stepped forward to offer contributions, with donations such as $500 from Matthew Schnierle and $100 each from Taylor Clouser and Lee Wright, showing the community’s strong support for Becky.
Heartfelt condolences and messages have poured in from friends and community members:
- Tammie Sheaffer shared, "Condolences and prayers for this entire family during this difficult time."
- Merr Klink wrote, "Omg so that was the person… my condolences to friends and family."
- Jamie Jones expressed, "My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family."
- Deb Morrison said, "Prayers for all involved!"
- Julia Robinson shared, "I’m so very sorry for your loss of this young man, praying for everyone."
- Christina Simpkins added, "So very very sorry!! Keeping family and friends in my prayers!!"
As Duncannon mourns, Chris’s memory and the love he shared will continue to inspire those who knew him. His legacy is reflected in the countless lives he touched, and the community is reminded to hold their loved ones close, for tomorrow is never guaranteed.
We extend our deepest condolences and prayers to Becky Tomlinson and all those affected by Chris’s passing. May his soul rest in peace, and may his family find comfort in the memories and love they shared.
