Chris Scott Handlin

This is really late but I just learned of Chris´ passing. We were fraternity brothers @ Tech (Delta Tau Delta) & lived in Midland at the same time after college. I can say with out risk of superlatives that Chris was one of a kind & the life of any party. From ski trips to beach trips to just hanging out "trips" he was a magnet & a catalyst for a good time. As I write this I´m telling my wife "Handlin stories" & she confessed she always had a silent crush on him. No surprise. My main regret...

I met Chris while living in Lajolla CA. I was having drinks with a friend when another mutual friend says,"You gotta meet this crazy Texan that just moved to town!". He moved in my place that night and stayed on my couch till he got his own crib. The rest is history. One thing about Chris, if you didn´t want to have fun you better steer clear of him. Mark Waters

I loved Chris. He was my friend for so many years! We were able to talk freely about everything and everybody! We would laugh so hard that our faces would turn red!! He was a good friend to have. He loved adventure and always took risks. He always used to say You only live once and what would life be if you didn´t take those risks. He had a kind heart with a wild spirit. Rest well my friend

I met Chris through a friend in the late 90s. We rode motorcycles together and rode to Sturgis, South Dakota one year for that rally. Also, we took several golf trips together out of state. He was one funny son of a gun and I always enjoyed seeing him coming. He loved his mother and dad and daughter Avery who was born about the same time as my oldest granddaughter. Our ongoing argument, all in fun, was which one was better looking. He never was the same after a 4 wheeler accident several...

I have known Chris as long as I can remember. We grew up together on Waco St. Don and my dad shared an office for many years. My family went to Ruidoso to the Handlin cabin many times. My family moved to Wichita Falls while I was in 7th grade but Chris and I kept in touch through the years, when he was at Texas Tech, lived in Amarillo and College Station.He was a great friend.

I have known Chris since we were 4 years old. We went through all 12 grades of school together. We have stayed in contact over the years. He always said I was his contact for everything that happened in Kermit, Tx. Chris I will always miss those random calls. Keep dreaming big.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. Steve and Sylvia Chapman
