Kristopher Louis Temple

Kristopher Louis Temple, age 32, passed away suddenly on April 9, 2026 in Somerset Hospital after suffering a seizure. His foundations were molded by Midland School, where he graduated in 2015. There was never a dull moment in his life, because Kris was someone who enjoyed it to its fullest. He didn’t just walk through life, but danced through it with elation. On many Saturday nights, you could find him at ‘Daddy Rock and Roll’, singing and jiving to every set played because ‘we can’t sleep’. His love of church knew no bounds, from memorizing all the prayers to leading his family in them every night. Kristopher was always in the company of his girls {Zoe, Abby and Clarice} as he sang, joked around, while always taking photos everywhere he went. Even if his parents Kenneth Robert Temple and Julia Rock Temple, along with his sister Amelia Frances Temple have been left behind, his memory will live forever in them and you, the loved ones. Kristopher was predeceased by his grandmother Maria Morin Rock and grandfathers Philip Arthur Rock, Robert J. Temple Jr., Michael Benko, and his great uncle Fredrick Rock. Those who have survived are grandmothers Ann Rock, Ann Benko, Diane Temple, followed by great uncle Larry and great aunt Joyce along with other extended family. Kris is lovingly remembered by his aunts and uncles James and Maureen Johnston, Gregory and Eileen Lombardi, Tom and Michelle Brennan, Joe and Jayne Gangale, Kimberly Temple, Mario Simoes, and Chris and Donna Invidiata. Kristopher adored all of his cousins; Leonard, Rosemary, Thomas, Regina, Jim, Connor, Natalie and Dennis along with many others, including special uncles Chris Clark, Jim Fox, and special friends Suzanne, Shanteze and Minnie.
