We had the privilege of doing photos with Chris on two different occasions and he was such a standout with his character and attitude. We’ve seen so many stories that show his integrity and heart. Such a loss to our community.
All our love to his family and friends.
The Town of Yorktown joins our community in grieving the loss of Yorktown High School senior Chris Wilson.
There are moments when words feel inadequate. This is one of them.
We hurt alongside the students, teammates, coaches, friends, family, teachers, and neighbors who are carrying an unimaginable loss.
In the stories being shared about Chris, there is a remarkable consistency. While many knew him as an athlete with significant accomplishments and potential, it is his character — his kindness, humility, respect, and care for others — that those closest to him speak about most.
His coach described him as a young man who “treated others with love and kindness,” showed up every day, worked hard, and never sought the attention that came with his success.
May we honor Chris by following that example.
May we treat one another with love and kindness. May we lead with integrity and humility. May we be generous with our support for those who are hurting, and may we take especially good care of the young people in our community as they grieve a friend and teammate.
Our hearts are with Chris’s family, his friends, his teammates and coaches, and the entire Yorktown school community.
We grieve with you. We remember Chris with you. Together, we will honor the life he lived and the impact he made on this community.
This is Yorktown. This is your town.
