Christopher Glen Horton,59, of Fancy Gap, VA, passed away on February 23rd, 2026, surrounded by love.  Chris was born in Radford, Virginia to the late Joseph Wayne "Woody" Horton and Freda Dalton Arnett.

Chris was a beloved brother, family member, and friend. He lived his life with a gentle spirit and brought joy to those who knew him.

His presence made a lasting impact on everyone around him.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to his devoted caregivers, Annabelle Horton, his stepmother and Cristal and Tracy Moore, whose compassion, patience, and dedication provided Chris with exceptional care and dignity. Their love and commitment meant more than words can express and will always be remembered.

Chris is survived by his stepmother, Annabelle Horton; sister and brother-in-law, Cynthia and Doug McCraw; niece, Hayden McCraw; nephew and spouse, William and Alex McCraw; stepsister and spouse, Ernestine and Bob Clark; and several other family members; and special caregivers, Cristal, Tracy and Tiffanie Moore.
