Giles Anthony Pond

Giles was a dearly loved and adored son, brother, and friend. After attending St. Michael Catholic School, he graduated from Memorial High School, where he made lifelong friendships. Giles attended Texas Christian University, where he was thriving socially and made the Dean's List. At TCU, Giles was a member of the SAE fraternity, majoring in Finance, and had just completed his freshman year.

Giles brought joy and energy into every room. He was known for his smile, laughter, the way he made people feel noticed and included, his faith and love of working out. Most importantly, the relationship he had with his brother and sisters was beyond description; their closeness and bond was like no other, simply because they loved each other so much. He cherished his friends deeply and had an effortless way of connecting with everyone. Giles was a passionate and dedicated person in all aspects of his life.

He is survived by his loving parents, Marlo Pond and David Pond, and his adoring siblings, Pilar, Corbin, and Belicia. He was a protective brother, a devoted son, and a bright light in the lives of those who knew him.

Giles' life, though far too short, was filled with love, faith, connection, and promise. He will be missed every day and remembered always.
