Khristopher

Torrez

Husband, stepfather, son, brother, and an avid outdoorsman, Khristopher "Khris" Torrez's love of life didn't come to an end with his death. Khris passed away on December 17, 2021 at the age of 41 after a courageous battle with cancer, surrounded by loved ones who will continue to honor his legacy by living their lives to the fullest.

Khris was born to Joe and Lucy Torrez on June 22, 1980 in Sweetwater, Texas where he was raised. For over 10 years, Khris served the community as a Jaycee and was president of the Jaycees in 2010. On November 12, 2013, Khris and Desiree tied in the knot in Las Vegas. The simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to Khris. He loved fishing, hunting, camping, and everything outdoors. One of his favorite memories was of a recent trip to Montana with one of his best friends, Blake, where they visited Yellowstone. One of the biggest blessings and top priority in his life was his stepson, Cayden. He took great pleasure in attending every game and event. His pleasant and loving personality was contagious to everyone he met.

Khris is survived by his wife, Desiree; stepson, Cayden; parents, Joe and Lucy; brother, Casare; sister, Amy; aunt and uncle, Ofelia and Kerry Gipson; aunt and uncle, Jo Anna and Mark Wofford; godparents Paul and Barbara Villanueva; and many other cousins and friends.

Khris Torrez was preceded in death by his grandparents, Esteban and Juanita Torrez and Amado and Sapopa Lopez.

Khris will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him. He was the kind of man that anyone would be proud to call husband, father, son, brother, and friend.

His memorial service will be held on Wednesday, December 22, 2021, at 11:00 am, at McCoy Funeral Home in Sweetwater, Texas with lunch to follow at the Jaycee Barn.
