Christopher Jake Stone

Age 17

Santa Fe, Texas

He tried to stop the gunman

The 17-year-old junior played on football and ultimate frisbee teams. In his free time, he enjoyed using his PlayStation 4. He also loved singing, dancing, and laughing with his girlfriend and friends.

"Being a brother was his best job," his sister said. "He was always there if someone needed someone to listen or some cheering up.”

Christopher Jake Stone was one of 10 killed and 13 injured in a shooting at Santa Fe High School in Santa Fe, Texas, on May 18, 2018. Stone attempted to block the door to their classroom to prevent the gunman’s entry.
