Chris Wolff

Christopher Robert Wolff of Houston Texas passed away on Tuesday March 14, 2023, at the age of 42 at Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center in Houston. He was surrounded by his loving family; Father (Bob), Mother (Stephanie), Sister (Nicole), Brother in-law (Todd) and niece (Cheyenne).

Chris was born on February 11, 1981, in Houston. He was an active child and enjoyed getting out and playing. Chris, through trials and tribulations, received his GED and found his passion in life, the culinary arts.

Chris attended the Art Institute of Houston Culinary Arts program and started his career in the food service industry as a chef. Chris worked at many restaurants, including: The Grove, Brennan’s of Houston, A Fare Extraordinaire and Uchiko in the Houston area. As a chef, Chris always strived to produce the best and to share his knowledge with co-workers.

Chris always wanted to learn new techniques and cuisines. He collected a large collection of cookbooks and would choose dishes to prepare at home to hone his skills. He would post pictures of the finished dishes for all to see.

When Chris lived at home, anything we prepared for dinner was ok, after culinary school/restaurant work, he would often tell his mother that “that is not how you do it” and take over the kitchen, with excellent results. The last special meal Chris prepared was Christmas dinner 2022. It is a meal we will not soon forget.

The family would like to thank all who have sent condolences and shared their time with Chris. It is a comfort during this very difficult time.

A memorial service/celebration of life will be held at the Beresford Funeral Home on Friday March 31, 2023, from 1:30pm to 3:30pm.

We invite you, in lieu of flowers, to donate to the Southern Smoke Foundation, which supports workers in the food and beverage industry with emergency relief when there is a widespread or personal crisis.
