Christopher Brian Killough

Christopher Brian Killough was born in Tupelo, MS to Larry Wayne Killough and Mary Helen Guajardo. Growing up, he spent time in Tupelo, MS and Denton, TX. He went to school in Paris, Texas. Those who have heard him speak of his time there will understand the dramatic pause. The Army took him to South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Kuwait, and Iraq. His civilian jobs after his time in the Army allowed him to provide for his family in Texas, Arizona, and again in Texas.

To his family while growing up, he went by Brian. In school, he started going by Chris. For football and throughout his time in the Army, he went by Killough. As a civilian, he would introduce himself as Christopher, accepting the inevitable "Chris." Christopher was a wonderful provider, a loving husband, protective father, and beloved son/brother-in-law. Brian was a wonderful son, nephew, and cousin. Killough was a loyal friend. 

He is survived by his wife, Elif Killough; and their children, Ayse Killough and Danielle Killough. He is also survived by his father, Larry (Hailey) Killough and Helen (Wayne) Fults; and his siblings, Jeanne (David) Yarbrough, Anthony (Samantha) Culver, Kayla (Scooter) Simpson, and Forrest Killough.
