Christopher Dale Myre

January 29, 1958 - March 30, 2014

Christopher Dale Myre, 56, of Providence Village, TX, passed away Sunday, March 30, 2014 in Denton, TX. Christopher was born January 29, 1958 in Paducah, KY to William and Ruby (Moore) Myre. He married Martha Vail on December 27, 1981 in Dallas, TX. He was valedictorian of his 1976 graduating class of Paducah Tilghman High School in Kentucky. Chris graduated summa cum laude from Vanderbilt University in 1980 with a double major in Physics and German. He moved to Texas in 1980 and earned his Medical Doctor degree in 1984 from Baylor Medical School in Houston. Though Chris kept his medical license current, he worked for most of his career as a software engineer, most recently at Southwest Airlines in the Southwest.com group. Chris had a beautiful baritone voice and loved to sing. But his most current passion had been writing an economics blog at www.tosoc.org (www.theothersideofcapitalism.org). The blog reflected his deep concern about the plight of the poor and the problems of caring equally for all God's children. The accomplishment of which Chris was most proud was having raised his three children to adulthood and the joy of being a grandfather. His family was the center of his life. He is survived by his mother, Ruby of Paducah, KY; spouse, Martha of Providence Village, TX; son, Christopher Dale Myre Jr. of Plano, TX; two daughters, Amanda Myre and husband Todd MacDermid of Seattle, WA, Rachel Myre of Irvine, CA; grandchild, Ada MacDermid of Seattle, WA; brother, William Myre, Jr. of Austin, TX; two sisters, Libby Myre of Columbia, MO, Ann Myre of Paducah, KY. He was preceded in death by his father. The family will host a private memorial service. On-line condolences may be shared at www.slaymemorialfuneralhome.com.
