Christopher Jason Slusser

Christopher was born on June 8, 1976 in Wichita, Kansas. He was the son of Earl and Janice Slusser.

Of notable achievement, Chris was an Eagle Scout. Chris attended Wichita East High School.

Christopher enjoyed his college years, which may have been a challenge with all of the academics, responsibilities, and the sudden freedom that accompanied them, but Christopher was able to manage the balancing act. He attended Butler County Community College and graduated with a Bachelor in Fine Arts from Saginaw Valley State University in University Center, Michigan, where he played football.

Christopher married Lori Yuhas.

Fortunately, Christopher enjoyed what he did for a living. Showing a strong work ethic, Christopher worked diligently and did his best to succeed in his career. Chris was a graphic designer and Production Manager at GM Financial where he played an integral role in building the Branding and Creative Services team. Chris was known for his award-winning contributions to the company’s March of Dimes philanthropic campaigns.

Christopher passed away on December 27, 2016 in Dallas, Texas. He is survived by and will be greatly missed by friends and family, including his wife Lori Yuhas-Slusser, parents Janice and Earl Slusser, in laws Rose and Albert Yuhas, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

Services were held at Bluebonnet Hills Funeral Home Memorial Chapel in Colleyville, Texas.

Chris was a friend to all who knew him. He enjoyed art, photography and music, but most of all, he loved being with his friends and family. His friendship, creativity and laughter will be greatly missed. Chris lived his life by the mantra that “by making other peoples’ lives better, we all benefit.” Not one who knew him could say he did not try every day to make someone’s life a little better. He helped others selflessly, he gave to others generously, and he felt most passionately.

To the very end Chris believed in helping others. His giving spirit will be felt by those who benefit from the research gleaned by his donation to the Boston University Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Center whose mission is researching brain traumas in athletes.
