Christopher La Mouri

Christopher Joseph Augustine La Mouri

April 16, 1981 – May 20, 2025

With heavy hearts and deep sorrow, we share the passing of Christopher Joseph Augustine La Mouri, who left this world on May 20, 2025, at the age of 44, surrounded by loved ones at Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster, BC.

Born on April 16, 1981, to Carl and Cheryl La Mouri, Chris lived a life full of love, loss, complexity, and courage. Life didn’t deal him the kindest cards—he carried more pain and trauma than most could imagine—but through it all, he remained someone who gave freely of himself, always ready to help someone in need, no matter the cost to him.

Chris was a loving father to three incredible daughters who meant the world to him: Zoe Crawford (Hunter), Charlotte, and Juliet Lamouri, who were his entire world. The growth of his relationship with his daughter Zoe over the last several years was something he cherished deeply, and he held so much pride for the woman that she has become. Charlotte and Juliet, his daughters with his wife Jackie, brought endless pride, joy, and happiness to his life. Chris and Jackie shared 13 years together - years filled with deep love, laughter, and growth.

Chris is survived by his siblings: brother Taylor Lamouri; sisters Amanda Ratelle (Collin) and Tamara Lamouri; his beloved niece Mia and nephews Austin and Dax; his aunt Deborah Vos (Klaus); and many more family members and friends whose lives were touched by his spirit.

To know Chris was to know someone unapologetically himself. He was equal parts stubborn and soft-hearted. A deep thinker, Chris had a curious mind and loved books, obscure legislation, and intense discussions about how the world should work. He was a full-blown Star Wars nerd, a lover of spontaneous adventures, and a guy who’d suggest a random detour just to see where the road led.

He was quick-witted, empathetic to a fault, and always up for a debate—especially if it involved Jedi, politics, or the finer points of some forgotten Canadian bylaw. He could make you laugh, make you think, and make you feel like you mattered. And when he loved you, you knew it—he loved deeply, protectively, and without reservation.

Chris’s passing has left a hole in our hearts that will never be filled. While we struggle to understand the pain that led to his final moments, we know it came from a place of exhaustion, not from a lack of love. He gave so much of himself to others, often more than he had to give.

A viewing for Christopher Joseph Augustine La Mouri will be held on Monday, June 23rd at 12:30 PM at Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services, located at 3070 - 275A Street, Aldergrove, BC.

A graveside service and burial will follow at 2:00 PM at Bakerview Memorial Cemetery, located at 920 272 Street, Langley, BC.

Food and drinks will be served afterward at a location to be shared on the day of the service.

For those unable to attend, a Celebration of Life will be planned in Ontario toward the end of summer, with details to be shared once arrangements are finalized.

All who knew and loved Chris are welcome to attend and honour his memory.

If there’s one message we want to share in Chris’s honor, it’s this: mental health matters. Please check in with the ones you love—and with yourself.
