Tribute for Christopher “Makaveli” Passmore

He loved his culture, was a talented artist, who loved to paint and always wanted to learn more about his ancestors.

He was connected to his dreaming. Christopher was a kind, good-hearted man who showed respect to his elders and always did his best to make them proud.

He lived with great burdens placed on his back form a very young age, but he never gave up the fight to find his own freedom while fighting for those he loved.

Mr Passmore has been described as someone who would “give the shirt off his back”.

Misunderstood by many, but respected, loved and cherished by many more, Makaveli will never be forgotten.

He would give the shirt off his back to any stranger he saw in need, and always said when he would eat, everyone around him would eat too.

He would fight to the death for anyone he loved. He would protect the vulnerable, stand up against those who did wrong, and Makaveli would do anything to defend those he considered his family, regardless of them being blood or not.

He would greet everyone with the same respect and decency.

Truly a great man who will be deeply missed by many, he would always greet us with a hug and leave us with a smile, no matter who we were, he never judged or looked down on anyone.

Mr Passmore was known to those close to him as “Makaveli”.

We will never see another quite like him. The heart and soul of a true Soulja … he will definitely be leaving us with many unforgettable memories and moments that will stay with us forever.

Makaveli lived life big and impacted the lives of so many.

Even though he has left us in this life, he will definitely stay close to all those that truly love him, leaving little messages, dropping hints and signs, reminding them that he’ll never really be gone.
