Sohum lost a very colorful human being this morning. Chris Mayner was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital. He had been having some serious health problems. Apparently he passed away in his sleep.
He’s survived by his life partner Patrick.
I didn’t know Chris well, but he was a client of mine. I had worked with him several times at KMUD. I really enjoyed his music selections. He was a lovable character from my experience.
I’m borrowing the photo from KMUD’s website. Chris is on the left, Daveau (also deceased) on the right.

Melissa Etheridge thanked her wife last night when she accepted her Oscar. Life partner is such a passe term Eric. Wasn’t Patrick Chris’ wife?

Chris was invariably a cheerful and loving soul. He always greeted me with a hug and “hello, beautiful!”–which, believe me, is not the normal greeting I receive. He made certain the cats at KMUD had kitty crunchies at all times, and was in all ways a tender and delightful soul to have around.
He never failed to make me smile.
Once again I keep thinking there’s a big party going on..elsewhere…and when will my ticket arrive?

Christopher was a delight. He always had a smile to offer, a witty remark, and a quick come-back for anything thrown his way. He will be greatly missed.
