Visitation: 6-8 pm Wednesday November 9, 2016 at Mayfield Kiser Funeral Home.  Chris was born in Vernon, Texas to Chris and Dollie Schmoker on January 9, 1937. He graduated from Baylor University where he met his spouse Judith A. Schmoker. They married on June 22, 1958. Chris went on to graduate from the University of Texas Dental School in Houston and then practiced dentistry in Fort Worth for 42 years. He was an amazingly strong, compassionate, hard-working, loving man. He served as a deacon for many years at University Baptist Church in Fort Worth. A loyal and dedicated father and husband, Chris provided for, adored, and raised his family in Fort Worth and then in Burleson. He loved and took great care of the nearly 40 acres of land in Burleson where he resided for 45 years and where he taught his sons and grandsons to be men and taught all his children and grandchildren what it looks like to “hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees” (Revelation 7:3). Chris loved life and adventure and traveling to new places; he loved celebrations and good food and listening to beautiful music, especially when performed by his children and grandchildren. He was a devoted husband and adored Judy as his one and only sweetheart for 58 years. Chris was “like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers” (Psalms 1:3). He was blessed and he was a blessing and the fruit of his life is a beautiful legacy that will continue to prosper. He is survived by his wife Judy; his daughter, Lisa and husband Kevin Dobson; sons, Chris “Drew” and fiancé Paula Gray, Craig and wife, Laura; Trey and wife, Brandy; his sister MaryAnn Davis and brother Charles Schmoker and many nieces and nephews; his ten grandchildren, Jessica and husband, Matt Chance, Chelsea, Devyn and husband, Cody Woodruff, Christian and wife, Alex Moore, Susan, Samuel, Luis, Faith, Noah, and Luke.        Charitable gifts in memory of Chris can be sent to SPARK Worldwide or Open Door Food Bank.        www.sparkworldwide.org        http://www.opendoorexperience.com
