The IWCI is sad to report that attorney Christopher Cross passed away in his sleep on Saturday September 28, 2024. Chris was 63 years old.
Those who knew Chris will remember him as one of the most kind, sincere and genuine attorneys we have ever had in the worker’s compensation Bar. Personally, I worked with Chris for over 6 years, and he was an immense influence in helping demonstrate how to practice law vigorously in defense of a client, yet in a compassionate and collegial manner. Having known Chris for 27 years, I never once heard him raise his voice or make any case personal among the parties or other attorneys. I will miss his laugh, his warm nature and his friendship.
Chris was a long-standing friend to IWCI and the worker’s compensation community in general. He presented at a number of IWCI seminars over the years and was a mainstay at our Annual Conference. If you did not know Chris personally, you definitely saw him around. If you did know Chris, you will miss him dearly.
Please join the IWCI Board in remembering our friend Chris Cross, and please keep his family in your thoughts. For those who are interested, his services are Friday, October 4, 2024. Details on arrangements can be found at the link below:
