On Saturday, May 23,

2020, Christophe­r Duval passed away peace fully at the age of 67.

He leaves behind his beloved wife, Con stance McCabe, as well as his parents, Ir ma and Harry Duval, his brothers Matthew and Mark, his sister Susan, and his nephews and niece,

Michael, Gregory, and Sarah.

Chris was born in 1953 in New Hampshire, and spent most of his life in New England. Chris met Connie in

Portland, Maine in 1987. In 1988 they opened their advertisin­g agency, McCabe& Du val, which they ran until they retired in 2019. Chris and Connie recently moved from their home in Harps well, Maine to Fort

Lauderdale, Florida.

Chris had a zest for life and dynamic energy that led to many friend ships. There will be very few people that don’t have at least one funny or interestin­g story to tell about Chris!

Chris was right ly proud of the success of McCabe

&Du val, and thoroughly enjoyed working with the agency’ s staff, clients, and partners through the years. However, his most far-reaching achievemen­t was leading a grassroots effort, in 2003-2004, to defeat fuel giant Co no co Phillips. He joined with Harps well neighbors and fisher men to block the building of an

LNG( liquefied natural gas) plant that would have had a disastrous impact on the coastal environmen­t and fishing/ lobstering industry of Harps well.

Chris had a passion for the outdoors. He loved hiking and camping, and there was no ski trail too steep or too icy for him to run. Maine summers would find Chris out boating with Connie, enjoying the waters, islands, and peninsulas of C as co Bay.

The world is a smaller place without Chris. He will be very much missed by his family and friends, and by Daisy the golden retriever and Blu, the Australian cattle dog who thinks the sunrise sand set son Chris. Chris, may you find double black diamond trails, a following sea, and glorious mountain peak son the other side. You are loved.
