Christopher Clark Echols was born September 6, 1987 to his parents, Emerson and Ira J. Echols. He was christened in 1988 at Anderson Chapel Church by Pastor M.C. Cooper in Killeen, Texas. He later joined St. James United Methodist Church, in Anahuac, Texas, where he remained a member until his death. On June 27, 2026, he answered his Master's call leaving family and friends to miss his endearing smile and gentle presence.

He attended Anahuac I.S.D. where he graduated high school in 2006. A busy student athlete, Chris participated in band, football, and track & field (power lifting and shot put), as well as in student council, National Honor Society, and Future Farmers of America. Chris loved animals and agriculture, and he often said he loved animals more than people. After graduation, he attended Prairie View A&M University, later matriculated from Lee College, where he obtained his Associate Degree in Industrial Engineering. At the time of his departure from this life, Chris was employed by HPC Industrial Powered by Clean Harbors as an Industrial Operator and Hydro Blaster.

Chris was a hardworking and dedicated family man. He met Geavonnie Hart in 2011, and they were united in holy matrimony on May 24, 2019. To their union was born Kali Rose Echols. This marriage also blessed him with his children Jonatan and Moni'ca Brown. Chris believed in family bonding, and was a very involved father, serving as the family chef, teaching life lessons to Moni'ca and Kali, and supporting Jonatan in football and other activities. Together, they enjoyed wearing matching pajamas on Christmas day, long rides in his truck, and their annual Father's Day trip to San Antonio. He was a man of few words, and often shared his thoughts in music. His favorite song was God Is a Weapon.

Left to cherish his memory is his wife, Geavonnie Echols, his children, Jonatan, Moni'ca, and Kali; his parents, Emerson and Dr. Ira Echols; parent in-laws, Mr. and Mrs. Clifton and Wila Arvie Jr.; sister-in-law, Rae-Shan Hart; brother-in-law, Clifton Arvie III; special aunt, uncle, brothers, and sister: Sandra Nichols; Michael Shorten; Ray Jackson and Mervin Thomas; and Mary Perkins. Chris was a helpful man, and he never met a stranger, so he leaves behind a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who will miss him eternally.
