Chris was born on March 4, 1964, to Richard and Mary Wallace in Lombard, Illinois, and he suddenly passed away on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at Baylor Scott & White Heart Transplant Hospital in Dallas, Texas.

He proudly served in the United States Air Force Reserve and carried that sense of dedication throughout his life. Chris was a faithful member of St. Jude Catholic Church and an active participant in The Knights of Columbus, where his commitment to service and community was evident.

Chris was a warm, funny, kind, and selfless man, a loving husband, son, brother, father, Papaw, DaDaw, and uncle. He touched the hearts of everyone he encountered with his gentle spirit and genuine care for others. His presence will be deeply missed, but his legacy of love, laughter, and devotion will live on in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Chris was preceded in death by his parents, Richard and Mary Wallace, and his sister, Mary Roberts.

Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife, Whitney Wallace, along with their beloved canine companions, Lulu Pearl and Petey Lee. He is also survived by his sister, Cynthia Wallace Hawkins and husband, Mike; his brother, Rick Wallace and wife, Cheryl; and his sons, Tyler Wallace and wife, Michaela, and Kyle Wallace and wife, Melissa. His grandchildren, McKenzie, Julie, and Tucker, brought him great joy.

Chris is lovingly remembered by many nieces and nephews, including Brandy Bragg Johnson and husband, Shelton; Addy and Silas Johnson and wife, Zoey; Gary Bragg III and wife, Allison; Savannah Bragg and Luke Morvant; Jordan Glenn and Alexa Ott; Amanda Underwood and husband, Chip, with children Waylon, Jack, and Caroline; Clinton Wallace and wife, Madison, with son Artie; Brandon Wallace and Cole Bryan; Mickey Roberts; Nicholas and Haleigh Roberts and daughter, Ryan; Brett Roberts; Chris Roberts; and Elliot and Zoey.

Serving Chris as honorary pallbearers will be his sons, Tyler Wallace and Kyle Wallace; nephews, Gary Bragg III and Clinton Wallace; son-in-law, Donnie Dunn, and stepson, Aiden Sutherland.

He is also survived by his brother-in-law, Blake Lee, and wife, Emily, and his stepchildren, Aiden Sutherland and Lauren Terry, Harleigh Dunn and husband, Donnie, and Mason Sutherland and wife, Hailey.

The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to Dr. Leslie Sewell, Dr. Felicia, Dr. Bindra, and the nursing staff at Baylor Scott & White in Dallas, Texas. They would also like to thank everyone who has donated to help Chris’s family.

We all love and miss you, Chris. Rest easy.
