Christopher Shane Plummer

Christopher Shane Plummer was born February 5, 1988, in Rutland, Vermont. Those who knew him remember a capable, hands-on young man who loved to draw, fish, and ride four-wheelers — pastimes that fit the practical, creative spirit his friends called “Mr. Fixit.” A 2006 graduate of Fair Haven High School, Christopher used his talents both as an artist and in his work life, spending several years with Mike’s Electrical and later working alongside his father at Shane’s Electrical.

Chris combined a steady work ethic with quiet warmth. He enjoyed making and fixing things, and family members recall the small acts of care that showed his character: helping with odd jobs, sharing a day on the water, or sketching in his spare time. Those simple, dependable gestures made him a familiar and trusted presence in his community.

He was the son of Shane George Plummer and Teri (Sheldon) Plummer and is survived by his mother; two sisters, Danielle Plummer and Cheyenne Sheldon; his girlfriend, Heather Gannon, and her daughter, Isabelle; and a circle of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and friends who treasured him. Christopher’s father, Shane Plummer, died the same day Christopher passed; the family’s loss was therefore particularly deep.

Friends and neighbors gathered to remember Christopher’s steady kindness, his practical skill, and the gentle pride he took in helping others. Funeral arrangements were handled by Durfee Funeral Home & Cremation Service in Fair Haven, Vermont, with a calling hour held February 22, 2014, and a graveside service at Cedar Grove Cemetery to follow.

Christopher’s life is recalled for its warmth, craft, and quiet devotion to family. He is remembered not for how his life ended but for the everyday ways he cared for others — the fixes, the drawings, the days outdoors — small, meaningful parts of a life that mattered to many.
