It is with great sadness to announce the passing of Christopher L. Altamirano on May 27th in Reno, NV. Chris was born on July 7th, 1979 at Wheeler Hospital. He attended Gilroy Unified School District where he earned his High School diploma.

Chris grew up playing and loving sports especially the San Fransico Giants and the New Orleans Saints. Chris always kept a strong faith and love for his family and friends. He was a loyal friend and so generous he would give you his last dollar if you needed it. His smile, laughter and positive outlook will truly be missed.
