The first annual OSU Circle K Wellness Walking Event will be held in memory of Chris Ward, a former OSU Circle K member who passed away suddenly in May of 2023 at the age of 50. Chris was a member of the club in the early 1990’s and was Vice President for the 1993-94 term.
Chris was also an Ohio District committee chair for 1994-95. During Chris’ Vice Presidency, the club held several successful events including the annual Teeter Totter Marathon and a huge Euchre Tournament in the old Ohio Union. Chris was an active member who attended numerous service, leadership, and fellowship events.
He earned a BS in Psychology from The Ohio State University and he later earned both a MS and PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Illinois. He followed his passion for helping people, working as a gifted, compassionate psychologist for his entire professional career.
Chris was married to Mary and was father to Aidan, who was the pride of Chris’ life. Chris was a staunch Ohio State football and basketball fan and enjoyed attending Bengals games and socializing with his work colleagues. He was an active member of Knox Presbyterian Church, serving as both a deacon and an elder. He was a trusted friend to many and a gentle, unifying presence to all who knew him. He made a positive impact on countless lives and will be forever missed.
