Christopher “Chris” Alloy

Christopher “Chris” Alloy, age 44, of Bloomfield, New Jersey, passed away on Thursday, March 19, 2026. He was the beloved husband of Stephanie Goldberg and the cherished son of Joseph and Patricia Alloy.

Chris grew up in the close-knit Packanack Lake community of Wayne, NJ, alongside his brother, Jay Alloy, who is married to Jodie Alloy. He graduated from Wayne Valley High School in 2000 and went on to earn multiple degrees from William Paterson University in Professional Sales and Accounting.

Chris was drawn to accounting because he believed deeply in the power of financial guidance to help people and make a meaningful difference in their lives. He had recently joined Portney & Associates, where he quickly found joy in the work and meaningful connections with his new colleagues, who appreciated his warmth, enthusiasm, and professionalism.

Outside of work, Chris was full of energy and passions that brought joy to those around him. A devoted Miami Dolphins fan, he rarely missed a Sunday game and wore his loyalty proudly. He loved firing up the grill, refining his barbecue craft, and joining friendly family rib contests. Vacations to Long Beach Island with family, spontaneous road trips, and quiet evenings enjoying a good whiskey, dark beer, and cigar were among his favorite pastimes.

In 2016, Chris met the love of his life, Stephanie, and from their first meeting, their connection was undeniable. They often laughed about their second date—when Chris, without knowing, served her a drink with olives, her least favorite garnish—but the moment became one of their favorite stories, emblematic of the love, laughter, and resilience they shared ever since.

Chris was the proud godfather of his nephew Joey and a devoted uncle to both Joey and Gianna Marie, cherishing every chance to spend time with them, especially during family pool days and holidays filled with laughter and food.

Chris will be remembered for his warmth, dedication, and humor—the kind of person who lifted those around him, both personally and professionally. His presence will be deeply missed but forever felt in the many lives he touched.
