Christopher A. Webber

Christopher Allen Webber Jr., born October 23, 1944, in Rutland, Vermont, passed away peacefully on February 12, 2026, at the age of 81. His loving family was by his side during the final weeks of his accomplished and meaningful life.

The son of Christopher and Esther (Ladue) Webber, Chris grew up in Rutland before attending Millbrook School and later Middlebury College, where he majored in music and enjoyed playing hockey. He went on to earn his law degree from the University of Maine. Following law school, Chris returned to Rutland to practice alongside his father and brother, proudly continuing the legacy of five generations of Vermont lawyers. During this time, Chris was actively involved in the community. He played an instrumental role in bringing Rutland’s first indoor hockey rink to life and helped develop the local Pee Wee hockey program. As a young adult he also became an experienced pilot and enjoyed flying throughout New England with his trusted co-pilot York, a Labrador Retriever.

During his years in Rutland, Chris met Constance “Coco” Brewer. They married in 1976 and built a life together in East Wallingford, Vermont, while spending summer vacations in Ocean Point, Maine — a place that would later become their second home.

Chris enjoyed many hobbies over the years, yet Fly fishing and music were constants throughout his life. Fishing was truly his passion and led him to remote streams and quiet ponds across Northern New England. Some of his most cherished memories were made at the Lake Mitchell Trout Club, where he first fished with his parents and later shared the tradition with his two sons.

Chris was also a talented pianist and composer. He created an extensive collection of original compositions, many of which he thoughtfully wrote for friends and family, leaving behind a lasting legacy.

Chris is survived by his beloved wife of nearly 50 years, Coco Webber; his son, Christopher A. Webber III, his wife Hannah, and their two children, Christopher IV (“Chip”) and Hayes, of Dover, Massachusetts; his son, Peter Webber and his husband, Greg Winter, of Concord, Massachusetts; and his sister, Mary Munroe. He was predeceased by his brother, John Webber.

A private memorial service will be held at the convenience of the family. Knight Funeral Home in White River Junction has been entrusted with arrangements. Condolences may be shared in the online guestbook at www.knightfuneralhomes.com.
