Chris Luna
The National Border Patrol Council is in mourning following the tragic loss of Border Patrol Agent Chris Luna, who was identified as one of the officers killed in a helicopter crash in Starr County, Texas, yesterday. Luna’s dedication and service to his country will never be forgotten.
Agent Luna, who joined the Border Patrol in 2007, was serving as a “Supplemental Aircrew Member (SAM),” a role that involves working with air assets as a subject matter expert for the area they patrol. His commitment to his work and his expertise were well-respected among his colleagues.
Border Patrol Chief Gloria Chavez expressed her condolences, stating, “I knew him and worked with him when I was stationed in RGC. Both his parents are retired agents.” Luna’s family connection to the Border Patrol highlights the deep sense of duty that ran in his blood.
The loss of Agent Luna is deeply felt throughout the Border Patrol community, where he was known for his professionalism, dedication, and compassion. His legacy serves as a reminder of the risks and sacrifices that Border Patrol agents face every day in the line of duty.
As the Border Patrol mourns the loss of one of their own, they honor Agent Luna’s memory and his commitment to protecting our borders. His sacrifice will forever be remembered.
