Christopher Bradley Bartell, 42, of Liberty, Texas passed away Tuesday, September 6, 2022 at his residence in Liberty, Texas. Christopher was born on May 13, 1980 to Robert Bartell and the late Linda Woods in New Orleans, LA.
Christopher Bartell was one of a kind, there will never be another person like him. He was thoughtful, witty, ambitious, selfless, compassionate, unapologetically honest, reliable, and one of the funniest people you could’ve ever met. He had a heart of gold, and when he loved, he loved hard. He helped save so many lives through his virtual NA meetings he attended almost every day. His second home, Waco, TX, was a big part of his life because that’s where his transformation began. In his three years of living there, he made many friends who became family to him. He loved many organizations in Waco, including Mission Waco and The Manna House. He was a big fan of Baylor University sports and he loved to eat at The World Cup Cafe. While living in Waco, he attended MCC where he obtained an associates degree, as well as many certifications. After moving back to Liberty, he continued his education at Lamar University, where he maintained a 3.89 GPA and was on the dean's list every semester. When he wasn’t working on school work, he enjoyed listening to music, and watching the Astros on TV with Nannie, or attend the games in person with either his best friend, Dusty, or son, Adarius. He loved to drink his morning coffee while listening to TD Jakes on the front porch, then get a loaded tea from his favorite place, Mainstreet Nutrition. He was a family man, and always enjoyed spending time with his kids, and his beloved dog, Cash. Christopher was loved by so many, and has left us with amazing memories that will last a lifetime. He will truly be missed.
