Christopher R. Olivarez born on February 7 ^th , 1981 in San Antonio, TX was called to be with the Lord on September 25 ^th , 2021 at the age of 40. He is preceded in death by his grandfather Onesimo S. Banda, grandmother Elisa Coronado, and grandparents Francisco and Irene Olivarez.

Chris grew up on the Southside of San Antonio and graduated in 1999 from McCollum High School.

Chris was a visionary. From very young age his imagination was endless. His dreams were big and he shared them with everyone he met. He had a way with people that made it impossible for anyone not to love him. He had a strong passion for sales and media. Starting off his career in retail sales he earned top marks that eventually led him into sales for several media outlets including FOX 29, News 4 and KCWX-TV.

Chris last dreamt of Cryptocurrency and how it would change his life and the world. He wanted everyone he cared about to share in his dream. A lover and not a fighter. Accepting of anyone he met and always willing to share his heart, smile, and dreams. The world lost a vibrant soul but even in passing he has brought together so many people. This was the magic of Chris. We mourn but will never forget how truly special he was.

The family would like to extend a Thank You to everyone who came together to celebrate Chris' life. A special Thank You to Michael and Shannon Banda, Larry and Annie Banda, Norma Banda, Tom and Ana Garcia, Jaclyn and Nicole Garza and Amanda Hernandez.

The light remains – Forever in our hearts…
