Obituary

With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Christopher Brian Brodeur. Chris passed away peacefully on March 20, 2026, from complications due to a stroke, surrounded by his loving family and friends. He will be remembered for his devotion to his daughters and for being that example of a good human that seems hard to find these days. He was humble, kind, intelligent, hardworking, honest, generous, unselfish, and funny. He loved to encourage and uplift others. Chris also enjoyed intellectually stimulating conversations and trying to see things from multiple perspectives. 
An Air Force brat, Chris later followed family tradition and joined the U.S. Navy, where he served as a BM3 on the USS Chandler. He received his B.S. in physics from the University of California, Riverside. He went on to work in the medical device industry for companies such as Boston Scientific and Anteris Technologies. He holds 12 patents for medical devices, including prosthetic heart valves and vascular grafts.
Chris is survived by his two daughters Christina Brodeur-Kuczynski (Jimmy) and Katherine; his older brothers David (Elise) and Ted (Criselda) and his younger sisters Carolyn and Stephanie. He is preceded in death by his brother Stephen and his parents, Richard and Marilyn Brodeur. He will be sorely missed by all that knew him. His family encourages donations on his behalf to www.StopAfib.org and www.stroke.org
UPDATE: The Memorial Service will be on Saturday, June 27, 2026 in Plymouth, MN. It will take place at the Maple Grove Community Center in the Banquet Room. It will go from 10am-4pm.

I may have known Chris only briefly, but he truly left a special mark on my days. His endless jokes always brought a smile to my face, and it was clear he enjoyed sharing them. He was brilliant, inquisitive, and so charming. I really miss him and wish I had gotten to know him even better.

Chris was not only my brother but my best friend. There is not enough room to share all of the adventures we had growing up as Air Force brats, bouncing all over the country. We were only 18 months apart and shared so many of the same likes from theoretical to practical physics (including reverence for Dr. Elliot), politics to comics, Family Guy to The Far Side. We were always on the same plane, completing each other’s thoughts (almost always in the least PC way) and laughing uncontrollably at what we both knew was the punchline to some uncompleted joke. Our shared love of family-based humor (Jim Gaffagan), obnoxious humor (Bill Burr) and dark humor (Anthony Jesilnik) could keep us in stitches for hours. He loved his Dad Jokes and loved sending the most obnoxious ones to me via Messenger, roping me in like it was serious until he dropped the absolutely worst punchline. GROAN!
When we leave, we are judged by what we leave behind. His wonderful daughters, Christina and Katherine, are his gift and they were the light of his life. He truly would do anything for them, like drive half across the country to help with a move, go to an Anime expo or even attend a BTS concert-both without wearing a disguise! That is pure parental love.
Everyone that knew Chris is better for the experience. He was a wonderful human being, always trying to be helpful and understanding, building you up not tearing you down, forever teaching. The world, my world, will be a lesser place without him in it.
Love you brother. Til we meet again and start laughing.

We always looked forward to seeing Chris at family events. His unique sense of humor always made us laugh and smile. We are grateful he was able to come and celebrate our marriage in January. You will be missed and thought of often Chris
