Wife:
When Kenyon Murray and his wife, Michelle, had twin sons 18 years ago, they decided the first of the boys to make an appearance in this world would be named Kris.
It was a tribute to Kenyon’s basketball teammate at the University of Iowa, Chris Street, who died in an automobile accident during his junior season in 1993. With that special ‘K’ twist.
