April 17, 1954 - August 3, 2017

Christopher R. Guarino, 63, passed away at home and surrounded by his family on August 3, 2017 in Round Rock, TX after a tough battle with esophageal cancer. Chris is survived by his wife of 32 years, Molly; son Michael, son Thomas (Cinnamon), mother Gloria Guarino, sisters: Loretta Guarino Reid and Gloria LLewellan, brothers: Paul Guarino and John Guarino (Nancy), many nieces and nephews and 3 crazy cats. His father, Dr. Christopher A. Guarino, preceded him in death. Chris was born on April 17, 1954 in New Haven, CT to parents Dr. Christopher and Gloria Guarino, and grew up in Tucson, AZ. He graduated from Stanford University in 1976 with a degree in Economics and from Stanford University in 1981 with a Masters in Business Administration. In 1981, Chris accepted a position at Hewlett-Packard in Santa Rosa, CA in the finance department. Chris continued working for Hewlett-Packard, Agilent Technologies and Keysight Technologies (both spinoffs from Hewlett-Packard) in California, Delaware, Germany, Colorado and Texas for 36 years until his retirement in June. Chris was a wonderful husband, loving father and a kind and generous friend. He was an incredible athlete and competitor who seemed to effortlessly master any sport that he picked up. He especially loved golf, skiing and cycling; all of which our family has many happy memories. Chris gave his family an amazing life full of travel and adventures. A celebration of Chris life will be held at his home at a later date. If you wish to make a memorial donation, please consider Hospice Austin, Austin Pets Alive and Austin Siamese Rescue.
