CHRISTOPHER THOMAS TURNER, 40, known as "Gutta" to his family, friends, and loved ones, was found deceased inside his apartment in Groton, NY, on May 6, 2026.

Chris was a beautiful soul with a smile that could light up any room he walked into, and he had the heart to match it. Chris enjoyed anime, gaming, and had a passion for trying new food. Chris wanted to create and run his own game. He shared this passion with his family, friends, loved ones, and many followers. Chris was all around a bright light, loved animals, nature, and dreamed of better for himself, his children, and loved ones.

Chris is survived by his children, his mother, father, siblings, family, friends, and loved ones in NYC. Chris is also survived by a family he created and established in Ithaca & Tompkins County, NY. Chris will always be remembered for his genius, pure heart, and his love for everyone. Christopher, "Gutta," you're forever loved, and you will be greatly missed. You touched the hearts and souls of so many. You shocked the community with this one big brother and best friend. We love you always and will miss you more: Ambz (bestie & family), Mandy (family), Amber, Heather (and family), Rambo, Brandon (Gutta's Forever Brother), Hope, Lito, family, friends, loved ones, and the Tompkins County community. Gutta was loved and cared for by the community at large. "See you later," we will meet you at the crossroads, Gutta!
