Christopher “Chris” Lee Whitlock, age 41, of Newark, DE, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, January 27, 2026. He was born on September 9, 1984 in Wilmington, DE to the late Glenn Lee Whitlock and Lucille Marie Whitlock (Cole).
Chris was a devoted father and family man whose greatest pride and joy were his two sons, Malcom and Corbin. He loved his family deeply, and everything he did was grounded in that love.
Chris had a lifelong passion for motorcycles. Brand never mattered to him—if it had two wheels and an engine, he loved it. His love of motorcycles was something he inherited from his father, along with the bikes themselves, and riding was more than a hobby; it was a connection to family, freedom, and memories that meant the world to him.
Those who knew Chris will remember his love for the open road, his loyalty to the people he cared about, and the way his eyes lit up when talking about his sons or his bikes. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him.
Chris is survived by his two sons: Malcom Whitlock and Corbin Whitlock and mother, Lucille Whitlock. In addition to his father, Chris is preceded by his brother, Corey Whitlock.
Services for Christopher will be private.
