Christopher Giles, a cherished son, brother, and friend, passed away on April 27, 2026, at the age of 57.

Born on Sept. 20, 1968, to Ernest and Linda (Leeman) Giles in Boothbay, Maine, Christopher’s life was one marked by kindness, hard work, and a love for the simple joys of life. 
 
Christopher earned his GED at Boothbay Region High School before briefly serving in the National Guard. He was deeply dedicated to his work, having spent many years at a sawmill in Livermore Falls, where he contributed not only as a sawmill operator but also through his skills in maintenance. Most recently, he found joy in his position as a dishwasher at the Whale's Tale, where he was appreciated and loved by colleagues and patrons alike. 
 
Christopher's love for life extended beyond work. He had a profound passion for bird watching and an enduring fondness for classic films, often enjoying movie nights with his beloved mother. An avid Star Trek fan, he embraced the wonder of the universe, which echoed his own gentle and caring nature. His kindness shone brightly in his interactions with others, making him a treasured friend to many in his community. 
 
Christopher is survived by his devoted mother, Linda Giles; his sister Claire Cole and her husband David of Strong, Maine, along with their son Nicholas; his sister Valarie Giles of Boothbay, and her children Kyle Wilson of Boothbay and Cameron Serino of Portland.

He was predeceased by his father, Ernest Giles Jr., his grandfather, Ernest Giles Sr., and his Aunt Beth Harsh. 

A graveside service to celebrate Christopher's life will be held on Thursday, May 14 at 1 p.m. at Evergreen Cemetery, Barters Island Road in Boothbay where family and friends will come together to say their final goodbyes. A gathering will follow the graveside service at Whale's Tale to continue celebrating Christopher’s life.

In lieu of flowers contributions in Christopher’s memory can be made to Midcoast Humane Society, 5 Industrial Parkway, Brunswick, Maine 04011.  

In this time of sorrow, let us remember Christopher and the many gifts he shared—a gentle spirit, an unwavering dedication to his loved ones, and a love for life that will resonate in our hearts forever.
