I regret I never met Christopher but I can’t stop thinking about what has tragically happened. I gave all my kids and my husband an extra hug and kiss today to remind them just how quickly life can change. I lost my dad when I was 11 years old and I know that he is always with me and watching over me like a guardian angel. I am shedding tears and saying prayers for Christopher and his family. I am so sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace and may his children always feel his presence and know he is now with them all the time. God Bless you always.
Love is patient, love is kind,
Love does not insist on its own way.
Love bears all things, believes all things,
Hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails.
– I Corinthians 13:4-8
There is no greater loss than losing a member of your family. Chris was the piece of our family that made everyone smile and laugh whenever you needed it. After the passing of his father he was the special piece that held onto everyone tight to ensure that they wouldn’t hurt. He stayed in Ticonderoga to ensure his mother was taken care of, despite missing his kids everyday. He was always that type of person to put anyone else’s needs were ahead of his own. Chris will be forever missed, but will forever live on in the lives of his amazing children. They are pieces of him that will keep his soul alive in the memories they shared and the stories they will pass on for generations. Rest in Peace Cousin <3
My deepest condolences to the entire Backman family. What I remember most about Christopher was his sense of humor. May he rest in peace and to his mom Eva and to his children, he shall be your guardian angel.
My son, Andrew Conti, is a classmate of Cassie’s. Please accept our sincere condolences. Our heats are just broken at the thought of what you all have to endure. May God’s grace wrap around you like warm cloak and may you find comfort in those that will greet you in the days to come.
Sincerely,
Lauren Conti

To the Children, Mother, Siblings, & all who loved Chris. I worked with Chris for many years at Comcast and it did not matter the day or time you spoke with him or saw him he was always sure to leave you with a smile or a laugh. Always sharing about his wonderful children and how much he loved them so. He will forever be missed. His spirtit will wrap you and guide you through. My sincere prayers are with you.
Christopher,
I didn’t have a chance to meet you and I wish I had. I’ve known the Backman family for years through your sister, Wendi, her husband and their wonderful children—as cheerful and positive and kind a family as one could ever hope to meet. I know that their children, even in their great grief, will be a loving support to your 3 children—as will Wendi to your mother. I read your obituary—such a brief summary of what was surely a rich and happy life. I can’t begin to contemplate the loss your children are feeling. I hope there is some comfort in knowing that your family and many friends are already embracing them and bearing them up with love. I like to think that you are with your dad, talking and smiling, ever at peace and free of the pains and injustices of this world. And that the time will pass swiftly for you until you are reunited with all of your loved ones who shared your life, who cherish every memory of you, and who miss you with all of their hearts.
My heartfelt condolences to all who mourne the loss of Christopher, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
I just wanted to say sorry for your loss to the Backman family. We all spent a lot of time together growing up in Dorchester and I can honestly say that Chis was one of the nicest guys I ever met. He will be missed by everybody. RIP
I am so sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers fro the entire Backman family during this difficult time.
