Christian Manganiello Obituary Christian D. 'Chris' Manganiello, 54, passed away peacefully with his family by his side on September 16, 2024. He was the loving husband of Kimberly A. (Lilly), with whom he shared over three decades, filled with love, laughter, and mutual respect. They were looking forward to celebrating their 31st wedding anniversary in just two weeks. Born in Fountain Hill, he was the son of Alfred and Diane (Laurie) Manganiello of Bethlehem. Chris grew up in Bethlehem, where he was deeply rooted and where he formed lifelong friendships. He was a proud graduate of Freedom High School's Class of 1988. Alongside his father, Alfred, and brother, Vince, he co-founded ALEDCO, an Industrial Pump Company that became a testament to their hard work and ingenuity. The company's eventual sale to DXP Enterprises marked a significant milestone in Chris's career and he remained a top dedicated sales professional within the organization until his illness. An avid golfer, Chris could often be found on the greens, where he enjoyed not just the game but the camaraderie that came with it. His passion for sports extended to being a loyal supporter of the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Buffalo Bills. Chris's love for the outdoors was evident in his hobbies, which included fishing and hunting, and he found peace and happiness at the cabin. Chris's heart was fullest when surrounded by his loving family. Survivors: In addition to his loving wife Kim and his parents, he will be lovingly remembered by his daughter; Gabrielle C.
