Chris loved playing BINGO at the VFW and couldn't wait to see Birdie and the many regulars on Wednesday and Sundays. Chris loved to watch wrestling and had a full display of wrestler figures, VHS & dvd's in his bedroom. Watching wrestling, eating pizza with a cold drink was something he and his grandma Lupe enjoyed together.

In his younger years he was an avid TEXAS LONGHORN FAN, and that was his daily attire. Later on he switched and became a DYE HARD AGGIE FAN and proudly presented his thumbs up to everyone.

His favorite songs were Purple Rain, Elvira & The bottle let me down.

He was quite the lady's man and claimed many as his girlfriend. His first (imaginary) wife was Barbara Bush. Yet we never understood that either.
