Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Christopher Gerald Cain, 75, of Fortson, Georgia passed away on April 1, 2023 at his home in Fortson.
A celebration of life will be held at First Baptist Church, Columbus, Georgia on Saturday, April 8, 2023 at 10am with Rev. Allison Owen officiating. The family will receive friends and family at the church following the service.
Mr. Cain, son of the late Jimmy Cain and Anne Fitzgerald Whisman, was born in Fulton County Georgia, which is nestled in the wonderful city of Atlanta. Chris spent many of his childhood years there before moving to Rome, Italy for his teenage years.
He graduated from college in 1972 and began his professional career immediately. Chris’ most recent job was with Total System Services where he spent 26 dedicated years of service. He retired four years ago and stayed at home enjoying the glorious southern temperatures.
Mr. Cain is survived by his wife, Erin Szlaczky Cain of Fortson, GA, and three sons; Christopher F. Cain of South Bend, IN, Chad F. Cain of Fortson, GA and Cooper K. Cain of Fortson, GA.
The family requests for anyone attending his celebration to wear either purple (pancreatic cancer ribbon color) or bright colors. They also want to express their gratitude to Columbus Hospice for their kindness and dedicated care rendered to Mr. Cain.
Flowers may be sent to First Baptist Church in Columbus and contributions may be made to Columbus Hospice; 7020 Moon Road, Columbus, GA 31909.

Life always throws us curveballs. Sometimes we don’t understand the why in things that happen. Your little family provided all the comfort and strength he needed during his battle. Now we are all here to continue supporting you while you heal and find strength down your new path. It won’t be easy but know that Chris is with you every step of the way! The love you guys had is everlasting and should be a comfort!!!

For twenty seven years Chris Cain was my friend, co-worker, supervisor director., I have read there are angels in among us here on earth. I would almost be tempted to believe that my friend Chris was one of them. I can truthfully say that during those twenty seven years he was one of the nicest individuals that I have ever met. I wish I could say that about everyone I have met, but unfortunately I can’t.
RIP my friend till we meet again…..Mary Carter
