Christopher Jerrod Woods Sr. was born February 9, 1987 to Cleotis and Petril Woods. As a child, Christopher was full of life and embraced it as he saw fit. He loved mysteries, solving puzzles, and hanging with his friends and family. He attended and received Christ at an early age as his personal Savior at St. James M.B Church under the pastorship of the late Rev. Charles Knight. Christopher participated in various ministries throughout the church such as the choir, Sunday school, and other activities. He attended Jim Hill High School, where he was a leader in the marching band under Director Charles Bradley. Christopher always loved music and was very creative in all that he did. He went on to attend JSU, where he was also active in multiple organizations. Throughout the years, Christopher was diligent in working hard to provide for his family. As an aspiring entrepreneur, he was a local musician and graduated from the Mississippi Barber Academy. He made it a goal to be his own person and was unique in his own way, standing out amongst the crowd and operating in excellence. He had a light that was awesome in his own existence. From his smile and laughter to his big heart, Christopher was a family oriented person, one of the most valued characters that he possessed. He loved his family dearly, especially his children.
