Chris Crist

Chris was fun, smart, and a joy to be around. I'm heartbroken to hear news of his passing. I´m sending my love.

Worked with Chris at the Los Angeles WEA branch. Great guy and a great promo rep. Loved the Christmas parties that he and Cheryl hosted each year

Chris is my mom Patsy's cousin and my second cousin. He and his wife Cheryl were always so nice to us all. They were host and hostess to one of our big family reunions at their home in Palm Springs. We all had such a wonderful time. He will be forever in our hearts and missed terribly. Condolences go out to his wife Cheryl and my cousins.

My office was next to his while he was working for W.B... I was a young snotty wet behind the years promo guy... We had become friends and he was one of my mentors..

I may have already written here, but never too much when it comes to Chris. He was a calming influence in a crazy biz. A pleasure to have business with, and socialize with as well during the Power/KIIS battles of the 80s/90s. Some awesome times I remember. So sorry for your loss Cheryl... Kathy and I have fond memories of you both. ❤

What a fine man and a spectacular life! Kathy and I have often thought of he and Cheryl over the years. We’d seen they’d retired in Palm Springs which sounded good!
So sorry Cheryl and family. He will live on our hearts forever.

I worked in Record Promotion in the late 1908's and early 90's in LA and Chris and I met at many the the radios stations every week, working our Artists. We participated in many events, such s Rick Dees's talent shows put on by KIIS, and Chris was always a gentleman and a lot of fun to be around! He always has a smile for you- Prayers and condolences to the family.

A Class Act. Generous. Funny. The smartest guy in the room. Multi talented entertainer. Great husband and father. Successful in everything he did. Everybody loved him. I've never heard anyone say anything bad about him. I met Chris when I was a 5-year-old (He was 20). He's been a dear friend to my entire family and myself for my entire life. A man of action with a caring heart he always seemed to make the right decisions so as to take care of those around him. I miss him terribly but treasure...

My sincere condolences to the family. Chris was wonderful at everything he did. It was a pleasure knowing him and Cheryl back in the day. Many great memories of the Christmas celebrations. RIP dear man.
