Chris was a foreign service officer in the Middle East bureau when I was a State Department intern. I looked up to him for his love of the region and his belief that US foreign policy could make the lives of ordinary people better. I was proud to see his career progress and I am sad, but not surprised, to hear that he died living out what he truly believed in and that he put the safety of his colleagues first. I hope that people pause to consider his service and kind spirit in between the political commenting.
