Died:
Christopher D. Petty, 43, of Smyrna, GA, passed away Saturday, May 19th while competing in a triathlon on Jekyll Island.

Chris was born December 1, 1968 in Marietta, GA, the son of Harold and Yevonne Petty. He graduated from McEachern High School and Oglethorpe University. He obtained his CPA designation and later earned his Master's degree from Georgia State University.

Chris married Lisa Montbellier, the love of his life, on February 8, 2009, celebrating in a magical way with family and friends at Walt Disney World. While Chris' initial work experience was with Price Waterhouse, he was currently employed by the Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta as Manager of Global Programs. Chris loved to travel internationally - he enjoyed trips to Europe and Australia, but trips to Alaska with his parents and his honeymoon to South Africa with his wife Lisa were among the most memorable.

Chris was especially close to his only sibling, his older brother Tony, along with Tony's wife Lisa and their children Trevor, Nathan, Lydia and Nicholas. Chris had also come to love his wife's family, Gina and Joey Reichenbach, their children Baron and Greta, as well as mother-in-law Diana.

Being active outdoors was how Chris recharged. He liked almost all outdoor activities but fishing and biking were among his favorites. A vibrant Christian faith was a foundation of Chris' life, he was a United Methodist, and attended North Point Church with his wife. Chris was loved and respected by all who knew him.

Visitation will be at the Mayes Ward-Dobbins Funeral Home & Crematory Macland Chapel, 3940 Macland Road in Powder Springs, on Wednesday from 5:00 - 8:00 pm. A memorial service will be held on Thursday, May 24, at 2:00 pm at McEachern Memorial United Methodist Church, 4075 Macland Rd, Powder Springs, GA 30127.

The delight of Mr. Petty's life were his four grandchildren, and he enjoyed watching their many sports and musical activities over the years. He felt especially blessed to have become a great grandfather and enjoyed participating in two birthdays and Christmas holidays with his beloved great granddaughter.

Mr. Petty enjoyed traveling with his wife to all regions of the United States, with his most memorable trips being to Alaska and Hawaii. He also enjoyed playing golf, and appreciated the opportunities to get outdoors for scenic hikes and the occasional camping trip in years past.
