Chrystian Alden Wurmser ’92

Chrys died of leukemia Feb. 3, 2006, surrounded by friends and family.

Raised in Massachusetts, he graduated from Princeton magna cum laude before embarking on an investment-banking career. "Wurm," as he was known to many, worked for JPMorgan in New York before moving to San Francisco in 1997.

Blessed with a brilliant mind and quick sense of humor, Chrys was a gentle and compassionate person who was devoted to those he loved. Affable, genuine, and altruistic, he was loved by all who knew him. Rarely speaking a negative word, Chrys saw the good in every person.

Chrys was a passionate football fan, an avid bridge player, and a formidable foosball player. He was a committed member of Tower Club, and could often be found in the game room playing a spirited game of beer pong.

He is survived by his partner of four years, Stephen Yarbrough; brothers Andrew and Jonathan; his parents, John and Nancy; goddaughter Samantha Gove; miniature schnauzers Alex and Dory; and a close circle of friends and colleagues. He will be sorely missed.

A scholarship in Chrys' name has been established at the University. The class extends deepest sympathy to Chrys' family and friends.
