Kristofferson was also an Army ranger, a Rhodes scholar, a helicopter pilot, and above all, a storyteller. His work touched generations, and as Georgia-bred country artist Channing Wilson poignantly put it on Instagram, “Kris, you left this world better than you found it.”
Beyond the music and movies, Kris’s heart was just as impressive. He championed social justice causes, supporting civil rights and gender equality. Even in the twilight of his life, he remained active, raising awareness and funds for organizations like the United Farm Workers (UFW).
