GUERIN—Denis Christopher, 69, formerly of Muckross Rd, Killarney, Co Kerry, passed peacefully on February 20th, 2025. Born on July 9th, 1955, Denis is survived by his loving wife Marguerita, adored daughter Margaret-Anne, and much loved sisters Mary and Margaret, and brothers Patrick and Timothy, as well as brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, aunts-in-law, nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews, relatives, and a wide circle of friends. Pre- deceased by his loving son, Patrick-Sean, his parents Kathleen and Cornelius Guerin, and his brother Cornelius.
Having built a successful law practice in Manhattan, New York, Denis a voracious consumer of media, never failed to hold a view that was uniquely his and was certainly never afraid to share it: he loved to stir the pot and loved those who did the same. He relished his time relaxing, or traveling with his family, and conversing with people in his neighborhood. Denis was an avid golfer, cyclist, and loved walking Carl Shurz Park and Central Park, with the New York Times in his pocket. He loved spending his summers in Ireland with his wife and children in Tyrone and Kerry. But even the most mundane trip outside of these comforts, the larger-than-life character that Denis was, he could transform into an adventure.
Visitation will occur Friday, February 28th, between 4 pm and 8 pm at John Krtil Funeral Home (1297 1st Ave, New York, NY 10021). A funeral service will be held on Saturday, March 1st at 1 pm at St. Catherine of Siena (411 East 68th St, New York, NY 10065).
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Catholic Guardian Services

Denis will be sorely missed by his wife Marguerita and daughter Margaret-Anne, the Guerin
family, the McGonnell family, and all whose lives he impacted, and his memory will always be
carried in our hearts.
