CHRISTOPHER B. CANDITO, 33, of MATAWAN, and a longtime resident of Spring Lake, died suddenly on Thursday, April 28, at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. Chris was a professional wrestler for many years. His family wrote of Chris: "Chris Candito will be regarded as one of, if not the best professional wrestler in the history of the sport. He held more titles than can be counted, including the WWE Tag Team Titles, ECW Tagteam Titles, the WCW Cruiserweight Title, and the NWA World Title, just to mention a few. He wholeheartedly loved the art of professional wrestling and passed on at the peak of his career. To know him was to love him, as he was a passionate, determined, and ever benevolent human being. He is seen as an angel by many, proving true the old adage "only the good die young.' He will live on eternally as a "legend of the squared circle.' Truly one of a kind, as a person, he was the kindest, most caring and giving individual you would ever want to meet. His legacy has only just begun. All who knew "No Gimmicks Needed' would agree that nobody does it better. . . . "CC, We Miss You Already' ". Born in Edison, he had lived in Spring Lake until moving to Matawan 10 years ago. He had attended HW Mountz Grammar School, Spring Lake, Red Bank Catholic High School, Red Bank, and had attended the University of Tennessee. He was involved in wrestling competitively since he was 14 years old. He was a former communicant of St. Catharine's & St. Margaret's Parish, Spring Lake.
Surviving are his wife, Tamara Sytch; his father and his wife, Donald and Gisele Candito of Middletown; his mother and her husband, Margaret "Peggy" and Gregory Rea of Spring Lake; two sisters, Amanda and Amy Rea and a brother, Jonathan Rea, all of Spring Lake; and his grandmother, Margaret Kunak of Nazareth, Pa.
Visitation will be from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 9 p.m. Monday at the O'Brien Funeral Home, Highway 35 at New Bedford Road, Wall. Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Mass of Christian Burial at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday at St. Catharine's R.C. Church, Spring Lake. Committal of his remains will be held privately by his family at a later date. In lieu of flowers, his family requests donations to the Christopher B. Candito Foundation, c/o Bank of NY, 1310 3rd Ave., Spring Lake, NJ 07762, for the establishment of a scholarship to benefit a student at his alma mater HW Mountz Grammar School, Spring Lake that demonstrates excellence by his/her performance during the academic year.
