On May 3, 1984 in Harlingen, Texas, a fair-haired, third-generation farmer was born. -and make no mistake: Christopher Sparks was born a farmer. Before he could walk, he began to learn the fields and backroads while strapped into his carseat in a farm truck. He steered tractors from his dad's lap when his legs weren't long enough to reach the pedals, and he knew how to set a seed drill before he could read. He took tremendous pride in the family farm, and he was particularly enamored with its tractors, so much so that he absconded with the keys out of every single John Deere parked at SRS Farms' headquarters when he was little more than a toddler. Chris had an amazing vision for making...

Our son Gabriel Ysaac Soria (aka, Gabe, Gabbos, Taz, 'the Lion') who lived so honorably, loved so deeply, and laughed ever so contagiously has gone to be with our Lord and Savior to forever fish the heavenly rivers, lakes, and oceans.
