Christopher Harrison Fay

From kindergarten to 10th grade Harrison attended Prestonwood Christian Academy, where he continued his learning of the Bible and his relationship with Jesus Christ. His faith and acceptance of Christ as his Savior served as the solid foundation upon which he built a meaningful life fueled by a strong work ethic and an earnest desire to make the world a better place. He worked towards a better future not only for himself, but for those he loved and especially the family of his own he hoped to have someday.

Harrison graduated from Plano West Senior High School, then let his deep love for his country guide him to a career in the United States Air Force. He chose to volunteer and to serve six years rather than four. His selfless desire to serve his country even in today’s uncertain times spoke volumes about the man he was. Harrison served in the Logistics Readiness Squadron at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. While stationed in Guam, he scored in the top 10% of his entire squadron as well as scoring a 93% on his end of course examination for his technical career development courses.

Outside his professional pursuits, he enjoyed most sports, specifically football, basketball, golf, water sports at his lake home, as well as video games. He loved cheering on his beloved Cowboys and Mavericks. Harrison was always up for an adventure including trying exotic new foods, but he loved good old-fashioned home cooking with his family just as much.

To know Harrison was to love him. He made a lasting impression on everyone he met. His family, friends and many brothers and sisters in the Air Force will always remember him for his infectious smile, his unwavering commitment to his country, and the way he always managed to bring out the best in those around him.

Harrison is survived by mother Rebecca Fay, father Christopher Fay, stepmother Carla Gravenkemper, sister Carena Elizabeth Fay, stepbrothers Josh and Ross Gravenkemper, grandparents Mary and Ken Crowder and Susan Fay; aunt and uncle Tanya Crowder Warrick and Andrew Warrick, cousins Army Sgt.
