Kris was born on December 1, 1959, in Wichita, Kansas, the son of Kenneth Marvin Callier and Carlyon Ruth Keene.

Kris married his bride, Julia Colleen Lamooney, in 1983 in Wichita, Kansas. Together, they raised four children.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Lutrecia Lynne Callier.
