Chris Dennis

Chris Dennis, of Pauls Valley, was born March 23, 1981 in Dallas, Texas and passed away January 4, 2006 at Pauls Valley, Oklahoma at the age of 24 years.

Pauls Valley has been his home most of his life. He is a former Pauls Valley Panther Football player and High School graduate.

Following graduation he continued his education by attending Oklahoma State University where he recently earned his Wildlife Biology degree.
