Christopher Sanders Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Weatherford Mortuary - Oak Ridge on Mar. 16, 2026.
Chris was born and raised in Nashville, TN, to Ronald and Mary Ruth Sanders.

He graduated from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville in 1996 with a Math degree, and returned later to complete a Law degree and a Library Science masters. He lived for several years in Washington, DC while working for the Department of Justice and relocated to Seymour, TN in 2019 where he had most recently worked for the TVA as an attorney.

Chris loved reading, video games, and Dungeons and Dragons. He spoiled his three beloved dogs: Cinnamon, Sweetie, and Storm. He was known for his sharp sense of humor and his mini cheesecakes. He was filled with kindness and would help anyway he could. His friends and family will miss him dearly.

He was preceded in death by his mother. He is survived by his father Ronald Sanders, brother Ronald Sanders Jr and brother's wife Catherine, nieces Grace Sanders and Paige Hudgens and her husband Brandon, and great nephew Wesley Kade Hudgens.

A memorial gathering will be held at Weatherford Funeral Home on Wednesday, March 18 at 4:00pm.
