Elton Lee Christoph

Elton Lee Christoph, age 55, was a man remembered for his kind spirit, his lifelong sense of humor, and deep love for his family. On the morning of Tuesday, June 24, 2025, his earthly journey came to a close, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and lasting memories. A graveside service celebrating his life will be held on Monday, July 7, 2025, at Hendrick Cemetery in Rusk, beginning at 10:00 AM. Bro. Jim Bob Gunnels and Bro.

Elton was born in Conroe, Texas, on August 18, 1969, to Raymond Christoph and Ernestene Brent Christoph. Elton loved to fish and had a passion for working on old cars-interests that reflected both his patience and his skill with his hands. He grew into a man of many talents, but his greatest pride came from life on the road as a truck driver-a profession he was passionate about. More than anything, Elton loved and valued his family and friends. He was a beloved father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, and a faithful friend to many.
