Our community feels a collective sense of loss as we recall the bravery, commitment and kindness Kris displayed during his 15 years of service with the Morehead City Police Department where he served as Police Sergeant.

Kristopher was born on July 9, 1978, in Venice Beach, California, to Glenn Cummings and Anne Cummings. Graduating from Nottingham High School in Syracuse, New York, Kris excelled on the high school baseball team which was by far his favorite sport to play. As a keen sport fanatic, Kris enjoyed every aspect of football including fantasy football and he rarely missed a game when his favorite team, the Buffalo Bills were playing. Being from Syracuse, he was a huge fan and supporter of all the Syracuse University sports whether it was baseball, football or basketball. Spending time with his grandfather, fishing and hunting were always happy times providing great memories. He also loved spending time with his son, Kristopher.

In addition to his parents, Kristopher is survived by his son, Kristopher II and daughter, Katrina, along with numerous loving aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Kristopher was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, James and Alice Finnegan; paternal grandparents, Vernon and Louise Cummings; and aunts, Colleen and Cathy Cummings.
