Christopher Kearney Hall, a cherished teacher and coach, embarked on his final journey on July 25, 2025. Born on January 22, 1968, in Decatur, Georgia, Chris touched the lives of many with his boundless spirit and commitment to shaping young minds. His career as an educator was marked by his passion for teaching and his dedication to his students, especially those with disabilities, who he loved dearly.
A proud alumnus of The University of Alabama, Chris later earned his BS Degree in education from Thomas Edison College. He embraced every challenge with a friendly demeanor, making him not just a remarkable teacher, but also a mentor and friend to countless children. His love for Alabama football shone brightly, and he often shared this passion with his students, fostering a sense of community and connection through sports.
In his post-retirement years, Chris envisioned a simpler life, dreaming of a small farm. This ambition brought him to Goshen, Alabama, where he endeared himself to the community, raising Rhode Island Red chickens and delighting neighbors with fresh eggs, often receiving pastries in return—a treasured exchange that highlighted his warm-hearted nature.
Among his many hobbies, bass fishing brought him joy, and he could often be found out on the water, relishing the tranquility of nature. Chris was also a dedicated Special Olympics Coordinator, exemplifying his commitment to inclusivity and support for those in need. One of his proudest accomplishments was orchestrating a memorable meeting for a Miracle League boy to meet his hero, Hulk Hogan, a testament to Chris's ability to bring happiness to others.
Chris's loyal chocolate lab, Bear, was truly the apple of his eye, embodying the companionship and warmth that filled his life. He is survived by his loving parents, Kearney and Barbara Hall, along with his devoted brothers, Brandon Hall (Jennifer) and Ryan Hall (Gussie), and his five adoring nephews: Preston, Kellan, Caiden, Caleb, and James Hall.
Chris’s legacy will undoubtedly live on in the hearts he touched, the lives he inspired, and the memories he created. He will be remembered not only for his contributions to education and sports but also for his kindness, unwavering spirit, and the love he shared with his family and friends. Though he has left us too soon, the impact of his life resonates deeply within all who had the privilege of knowing him.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to The Miracle League of Highlands County: P.O. Box 671, Lake Placid, FL 33852 / [email protected] / Phone: 863 451-6831
