Christopher S. Winfield, 61, of Punta Gorda, passed away peacefully at home, on January 3, 2025 while surrounded by his loved ones, after a courageous battle with Multiple Symptoms Atrophy.

Chris was born on April 12, 1963 to Fred and Cynthia Winfield in Tom's River, NJ. After graduating from Cape Coral High School in 1982, he went on to serve his Country by joining the United States Marine Corps. Shortly after, he met the love of his life, his wife, Emma Winfield. Together, they moved to Anaheim, California while he was stationed in El Toro serving in the USMC.  After being honorably discharged from the USMC, Chris moved back to Florida and started a family while obtaining a nursing degree.

Chris and Emma were incredibly blessed to have 3 children, Adam C., Alexander S., and Alaina E..

In the spirit of continuing his passion of service, Chris worked as a Registered Nurse in the emergency room. Outside of work, Chris enjoyed running, gardening, hiking, skiing, and spending time with his family. One of the things Chris was most proud of in this life were his children and grandchildren, Penelope, Parker, Beaux, Piper, Colette and Amelia.

Chris was preceded in death by his Brother and Father. He is survived by his wife, Emma, his three children, Adam (wife, Sheila), Alexander (wife, Jaime), Alaina (husband, Doug), his Mother, Sister, and Grandchildren.

Services will be held at the Sarasota National Memorial on February 10th at 11 A.M. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to St. Jude's Children's Hospital in Chris's honor.
