Bio: Christopher Ray Wilson graduated from Cameron High School in Milam County and after graduations, played football for Tarleton State University. Chris transferred to Sam Houston State University where he continued to play football and complete his degree, earning a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with a Minor in History.
Chris began his TPWD career with the 50th Game Warden Cadet class in Austin, Texas on January 1, 2004. Chris’s first duty assignment was San Saba County, he later transferred to Bell County. On December 1, 2016, after 12 productive years in the field Chris was promoted to Sgt. Special Investigator. Chris’s primary duty was to work complex environmental crimes and resource related cases, but at times he was called on to investigate threats against game wardens and park police officers. Chris was certainly the partner you wanted in the field. With his calm and steady demeanor, his intimidating size and obvious physical strength, all coupled with that big, signature smile of his, Chris could calm the unruliest of groups and defuse the tensest of situations out in the deer camps and on the Highland Lakes in quite a hurry.
Chris loved his family dearly including his four children, Tristen (17), Colby (16), Tyler (12), and Hailey (7) along with his parents, Warren and Mary Ann Rinn. With a big smile, a big presence, a big heart, and a big impact, his End of Watch leaves a hole in our hearts, all of whom are grieving the loss of his presence, but grateful beyond words, for the dignity, strength, and sacrifice of his service. |

Summary: |
Sergeant Christopher Wilson died from complications as a result of contracting COVID-19 in the line of duty.
====================================================================
COVID-19, a flu-like virus, originated in Wuhan, China. Worth a mention, the Chinese Government had a biological research facility in that very province. At this point, it was widely held that COVID-19 was a bat-coronavirus and the first case was discovered in Wuhan in Oct. 2019.
On Dec. 31, 2019, Chinese authorities alerted the World Health Organization of pneumonia cases in Wuhan City, Hubei province, China, with an unknown cause. Jan 7, 2020 Chinese authorities identify a new type of coronavirus (called novel coronavirus or nCoV).
Despite deaths and an entire Chinese Province(Hubei) quarantined by the Chinese Government, the World Health Organization(WHO) simply declares a global public-health emergency. Despite this serious understatement, on January 31st, President Trump bans foreign nationals from entering the US if they were in China within the prior two weeks. Despite a large public outcry of racism, this move likely saved 1000's of American lives, it would later be deemed.
After a full blown global infection, and an entire country being declared on 'Lockdown'(Italy), on March 11th, WHO declared the outbreak a pandemic. This same day, President Trump bans all travel from 26 European countries. On Mar. 13th, a US national emergency is declared over the novel coronavirus outbreak.
On Mar. 23rd, New York City confirms 21,000 cases, making it the biggest epicenter of the outbreak in the US. On Mar. 31, more than 1/3 of humanity is under some form of lockdown. On Apr. 2nd, the world passes one million COVID-19 infections.
On April 7th, roughly 95% of all Americans are under lockdown, as 42 states issue stay-at-home orders. The entire American economy has ground to a halt. Congress passed laws awarding trillions in grants, loans and other types of assistance to the American working population and businesses.
