Montgomery, Alabama
Funeral arrangements for a beloved Montgomery restaurant owner have been announced. A visitation for Theophilos ‘Theo’ Chris Katechis will be held this Thursday, May 2 from 9:30am to 11am at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church on Mt. Meigs Road followed by a funeral service at 11:00am.
According to the Chris’ Famous Hotdogs Facebook page, Theo passed away peacefully among family on April 24, 2024, at his farm in west Montgomery. Theo was preceded in death by his parents, Christopher Anastasios Katechis and Annie Cumuze Katechis, and his brother James Christopher Katechis.
He graduated from Auburn University in 1969 earning a degree in Livestock Animal Husbandry. Theo served in the U.S. Navy and was stationed on the USS Shakori Tugboat and later joined the Navy Reserve. Theo spent most of his life running Chris’ Famous Hotdogs in downtown Montgomery which was founded by his family in 1917. He worked alongside his father until his father’s passing in 1988.
In addition to Chris’ Hotdogs, Theo’s passions were his soulmate, Angia, and his sons, grandchildren, and relatives; the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Montgomery and the Labor Day Greek Barbecue; and bringing joy to his customers at Chris’ Hotdogs. In Theo’s free time, he enjoyed cheering on Auburn University and taking his boys to games, walking his dogs and fly fishing at the family farm.
In lieu of flowers, the family prefers donations to the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church on Mt. Meigs Road in Montgomery of which his father was a founding member. Information can be found at:
