Wilton Ford Christopher was born on October 28, 1942 in Houston, Texas to Carroll & Clotell (Kimbro) Christopher. He served his country in the U.S. Army and graduated college with an Associates Degree. Wilton was fondly known by most as M&M because he had worked for the M&M Mars Company for thirty-three years. M&Ms ministry was helping anyone who needed it, especially the elderly members of the community. He loved sporting events of all kinds and also enjoyed hunting deer and sometimes, elk. M&M also enjoyed spending time outdoors on his ranch where he raised cattle. He had earned a permanent table at the Centerville Texas Burger, where he ate the majority of his meals and had coffee with a local group of men. M&M had lived in Centerville since 1995, coming from Houston. He was a member of the Cowboy Church of Leon County. He passed away on Saturday, October 28, 2016, just one day after his 74th birthday, in Lufkin, Texas. M&M was preceded in death by both of his parents.
