Roll Call Tribute

Christina Renée Hruzek 
February 15, 1999 – January 15, 2024 

Christina Renée Hruzek passed away on January 15, 2024, in her hometown of Houston, TX, at the age of 24. She was born to Laura Hruzek and Jim Hruzek on February 15, 1999.

Christina graduated from Memorial High School and Texas A&M University with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering. While at A&M, she was an active member in Memorial Student Center Freshman Leadership International, in the Maroon & White Leadership program, and the AIChE A&M program. She also worked at the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station and served as a Teaching Assistant for freshman engineering courses. Upon graduation, she worked as an environmental engineering consultant.

She loved outdoor activities, especially hiking, biking, running, soccer, rock-climbing, and most recently, archery. She was an animal lover, especially of her pets Panther, Blue, and her sister’s dog, Rosie. She was an avid reader, talented artist, nature photographer, accomplished pianist and loved cooking and coffee. She adored spending time with family and friends, bringing joy and laughter into their lives. She served as a mentor and bright light to so many through her exceptional wit, remarkable compassion, and never-ending willingness to give. Reflective of the extraordinarily giving person she was, her final act of kindness to others was through organ donation.

Survived by her mother, Laura, father, Jim, favorite sister, Emily, grandparents Nan and B.D. Smith, Joyce Hruzek, late grandfather Bernard (Benny) Hruzek, Uncles Doug (Traci) Smith, Darrell (Karen) Smith, David Smith, David (Susan) Hruzek, Mark Hruzek, Aunt Brenda (Stacy) Horn, Great Aunt Janet Davis, cousins Jessi Smith, Jenna Porter, Taylor Porter, Jonny Porter, Rachel (Dylan) Morrow, Lauren Hruzek, Caitlin Hruzek, Roger Hruzek, and wide circle of extended family and friends who deeply mourn her passing.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her honor to Citizens for Animal Protection (CAP), the American Heart Association, or a charity of your choice.
