Christopher B. Yuscavage, 52, of Canton, passed away at his residence on Saturday, Aug. 26, 2023. He was born Oct. 18, 1970, in Wilkes-Barre, a son to Joseph and Anita "Ann" (Luce) Yuscavage. He attended Towanda Area School and was a graduate of the class of 1988. After high school he went on to attend WACC where he earned his associate degree for Electrical Technician. Chris was employed at Jeld-Wen (formerly Masonite) in Towanda as an Instrument Specialist for nearly 30 years. He loved his job and interacting with his co-workers, who lovingly nicknamed him "Rigid."
Chris loved being outdoors and appreciated nature. He enjoyed riding his motorcycle and traveling wherever the roads would take him. Barbequing, smoking meats, cooking and giving culinary gifts were some favorite times for Chris. He was a genuinely selfless person who always thought of others. His bright side always shown through, and he would never think twice about putting his own needs on hold to help anyone, family and friends alike. Chris was giving, protective and always wanted to make sure everyone was better off than him. He possessed a very witty and keen sense of humor, making people smile and laugh. Chris loved his home, life and worldly possessions, but most importantly he was a loyal son, brother and friend who loved his family and friends unconditionally.
