Christopher Michael Torzala, 64, passed away on Tuesday, June 27, 2023, at his residence in Wyola, MT after a long, courageous battle with cancer. He was born on December 22, 1958, to Jerome Simon Torzala and Nancy Lee Marie Torzala (DuCharme) in Marinette, Wisconsin. Chris was raised in Greenfield, Wisconsin where he graduated from Greenfield High and went on to school at UW-Milwaukee where he earned his degrees in Architecture and Real Estate Law #21704. After graduation, he began working for himself by owning Torzala Realty and maintaining a Real Estate portfolio. When Chris moved to Sheridan, WY, and Wyola, MT he volunteered countless hours of his time and knowledge toward the St. Edmunds Catholic Church Building Project in Ranchester, WY.

He loved hunting and fishing which took Chris to many remote areas on the planet. Chris also enjoyed playing tennis and golf. Additionally, in his later years, he enjoyed pool and pickleball.
