Friends to celebrate life of Christopher Huskins on Dec. 7
Christopher Huskins, a cherished figure in the DMV community, passed away on Oct. 23 at age 41 of heart disease, just days after a birthday surrounded by his chosen family, according to a statement released by close friends. “He was known for his resilience, kindness, and empathy for others – albeit with a dash of shade!” Christopher, born Oct.
20, 1983, in Queens, N.Y., was known to many in the East Coast drag scene by his persona, Isis Deverreoux. Inspired by the strength of the goddess Isis and the charm of Golden Girls character Blanche Devereaux, Isis Deverreoux embodied Chris’s blend of compassion, creativity, shade, humor, and fierceness, the statement said.
Chris’s childhood was marked by movement and change, spending time in Queens, Florida, Virginia, and Long Island before settling in Glen Burnie, Md., in 2001.
After the passing of his mother in 2002, Chris completed his high school education in Glen Burnie and found his lifelong calling to uplift and protect those he loved.
