Chris Nelson Cushenberry

Chris Cushenberry, beloved husband, father, son, and brother, passed away May 22, 2020. Chris was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on January 13, 1968, to Charles and Darlene (Staneart) Cushenberry.

After graduation, Chris attended TCC and later OSU, where he enjoyed the sport of rugby.

Chris worked for several years for the Xerox Corporation at a nuclear power plant in New Orleans, Louisiana. When he had the opportunity to buy Ty's Hamburgers, he moved back to Tulsa. He proudly owned and operated Ty's for over 23 years and appreciated and valued its reputation as a long-time Tulsa restaurant.
