William John Christopher

May 30, 1964 - April 27, 2022

Albany-William J. Christopher, 57, passed away suddenly on April 27th, 2022, in Colonie, New York surrounded by his loving family. Bill was born in Colonie to William and Beverly on May 30th, 1964. He was married to Tracey Christopher on October 18th, 1997. He worked as a Supervisor at New York State Higher Education for 30 years. He was an avid fan of horse racing, football, and bowling at Sunset Lanes where he bowled 300. He collected baseball cards in his youth and spent free time with his family. He spent the last several years spending multiple nights a week at his mother's house caring for and making memories with his ill father. He was beloved by all that knew him and had a space in his heart for every person that he met. He started every morning by praying for anyone he knew was going through a rough time and ended every evening unwinding with his wife Tracey. He always knew how to make a room laugh, always knew the right words to say to make something easier, and always helped regardless of who it was. Bill is preceded in death by his father William and his Uncle Charles Christopher. Bill is survived by his loving and caring wife Tracey, his two boys Billy and Jace, his sister Kimmey, and his mother Beverly. He is also survived by his nephew Ian and wife Stacy, numerous cousins, family and too many friends to count.
