Christopher Harlan Obituary

Lance Corporal Christopher Michael Harlan, 23, went to be with our Lord and Savior on Friday, November 22, 2013. Chris was a loving son, grandson, brother, nephew, cousin and friend to so many. He graduated from Carroll High School and attended the OSHA program at Del Mar College in Corpus Christi. Chris loved his family, friends and country dearly. To show that love, Chris enlisted as a United States Marine serving one tour of duty in Afghanistan. He was awarded the Purple Heart for his service while serving with Charlie Company 1st Battalion 23rd Marines. Chris enjoyed reading, fishing, hunting and just spending time with buddies, especially his Marine brothers. He was a pop culture fanatic. Chris touched many lives during his brief time on earth.

Chris is survived by his parents, Trey and Sandee Falk; sister, Brittany; brothers Hunter and Tyler; and grandparents, Boots and Pat Falk, all of Corpus Christi; grandparents, Richard and Donnie Harlan of Waco; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who all loved and will miss him dearly.

Chris was preceded in death by his infant brother, Harlan James Falk.

Visitation was held on Tuesday, November 26, 2013, from 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM at the Maxwell P. Dunne Chapel. Funeral Services will be held on Wednesday, November 27, 2013, at 11:00 AM at Asbury Church with Rev. Jason Teague as the celebrant. Interment will follow at 1:00 PM at the Coastal Bend State Veterans Cemetery.
