Christopher Shane Rhoton, 18, passed away on the morning of April 18, 2026 in Nacogdoches, Texas.

Christopher was born June 19, 2007 in North Richland Hills, Texas. He was the youngest son of Doy Wayne Rhoton and Elizabeth Diana Childress. He was an aspiring screen writer. In his free time, he enjoyed spending time with his family, writing, gaming, and creating characters and new worlds on his computer. He will be remembered for his gentle spirit and laughter.

Left to cherish his memory are his loving parents Wayne Rhoton of Nacogdoches and Elizabeth Childress of Deming, his grandmothers Yvonne Rhoton of Nacogdoches, and Tomasa King of Grand Saline, his brothers Trevor Rhoton and Micheal Rhoton both of Nacogdoches, his nephew Thomas Rhoton, and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.

While our hearts are broken, we are thankful for every memory, every lesson, and every moment we were blessed to have with him. He will be forever loved, deeply missed, and never forgotten.

A private memorial service will be held at a later date.
