Christopher Marone 5/4/1964 - 12/3/2025

The legal community of St. Petersburg is mourning the loss of Mr. Chris Marone, a respected attorney, certified circuit court mediator, and qualified arbitrator whose influence on Florida’s legal landscape extended far beyond the courtroom. Mr. Marone passed away on December 3, 2025, leaving behind a legacy defined by unwavering professionalism, mentorship, and service to justice.

In lieu of flowers, the family invites those who feel moved to honor Christopher’s memory to consider a donation to Pet Pal Animal Shelter, an organization close to his heart. Chris had a deep love for animals—especially dogs—and, more recently, had embraced life as a cat owner as well. Supporting Pet Pal is a meaningful way to reflect Chris’s compassion, kindness, and lifelong belief that animals deserve care, safety, and love.
