Known to family and friends as "Chris" and "Tiny" Chris was born in Grand Forks, North Dakota November 16, 1966, to parents John Wayne Bird and Janice Raven Bird.
Chris grew up in the Austin area and attended McCallum High School and played on the football team there. For many years Chris worked in the wrecker business and a wrecker driver and worked for Southside Wrecker. During the last part of his career he worked in the office there before his retirement.
For the past 20 years he lived near Burnet in Donall Estates on Lake Buchanan.
During his younger years Chris enjoyed fishing and after he retired and moved the lake he spent lots of time making birdhouses out in his shop.
Surviving family include his mother and step-father Janice and Roger "Cowboy" Elkins, sister Carolyn Bird, brother Bobby Wayne Bird, aunts Beverly Culp and Elaine Holbrook as well as several nieces and nephews. Chris was preceded in death by his father John Wayne Bird.
No formal service is planned at this time. His family will gather later at Bear Creek Cemetery in Bertram for a private burial of his ashes near his father John Wayne Bird.
