Christopher C. Cote
Christopher C. Cote, 63, of Lancaster, went home to be with the Lord unexpectedly on Saturday, Feb. 16, 2019, at his home. Born in Union County, he was the son of Doris A. (Stahlnecker) Williams of Mifflinburg and the late Russell P. Chilcote.
Chris was an active member of Victory Church in Quarryville. He was a missionary, serving all around the world, but mainly in Swaziland in Southern Africa, which he called his second home. He had a huge burden for the next generation, which is why his ministry always had a youth focus. Chris founded Project Earth International and was a talented artist who enjoyed painting and music. He was known for his large collection of M&Ms memorabilia. He had done stage acting at Sight and Sound Theatre in the past.
In addition to his mother, he is survived by two brothers, David and Daniel Chilcote; and his aunt, Diane Murray of Williamsport. He was preceded in death by his sister, Deborah Erb, who passed away on Feb. 14, 2019.
A service celebrating Chris’s life will take place on Saturday, March 2, at Victory Church, 15 E. Third St., Quarryville, PA, beginning at 11 a.m. with Chris’s pastor and close friend, Brett Rush officiating. Private interment will be held in Williamsport at a later date. Kindly omit flowers.
