Christopher S. Parton

Christopher Stephen Parton made his entrance into the world on March 30, 1979, in San Antonio, Texas. He was always a very active, inquisitive, fun-loving child. He attended school at Rainbow Hills Baptist School, graduating in 1997. While in school he was very active in the sports program. He attended college for a while and had a short stint in the U.S. Navy. He was most recently employed at Raba Kistner.

Chris had many friends, several of whom had all worked together at different jobs. This group has stayed close over the past 30 years. As one friend put it, “He never met a stranger”. He loved the outdoors, especially the mountains or the coast. He loved hiking, hunting, fishing and kayaking with his friends.

Chris was very loving, attentive and protective of his family, especially his mother since his father’s death. He loved spending time with his great-nieces and nephews.

Christopher died peacefully in his sleep on January 16, in Houston, while on a trip with his mother. His sudden death was unexpected and a shock to all who knew him. The cause of death has yet to be determined.

Chris was preceded in death by his father, Don Parton, in October 2022. He is survived by his mother, Doris Parton of San Antonio; brothers, Gregory Parton of Dumfries Virginia, and Michael Parton and his wife Karen of Wolfeboro, New Hampshire; and his sister, Melinda Campbell of Castroville, Texas. He also leaves behind 5 nieces and 1 nephew; 3 great-nieces, 2 great-nephews, and 2 god-sons; three aunts, several cousins and numerous friends. He was greatly loved by many and will be sorely missed.
