FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: June 16, 2021
Memorial Service to Honor Fallen Deputy Christopher Korzilius
TCSO will host a memorial service with full honors to pay tribute to the life of Sr. Deputy Christopher “Chris” Korzilius. The ceremony will take place at 1:00 pm Thursday, June 24, 2021 at Austin Ridge Bible Church, 9300 Bee Caves Rd (FM 2244) Austin, TX 78733.
Deputy Korzilius was killed while on duty, in a collision that caused his vehicle to roll off the roadway in the 7700 block of Bee Caves Rd (FM 2244) on March 18, 2020. Safety protocols and ordinances enacted to prevent the spread of COVID-19 made it impossible to safely carry out a public ceremony in the days that followed the tragedy. It was determined by both the Korzilus family and TCSO that the appropriate thing to do was wait until it was safe to gather together.
