Chris Vardy, 49, of Boyd was the husband of Dr. Tamara Vardy, the superintendent of the Boyd ISD.
The Boyd ISD said in a statement that Mr. Vardy became a part of the Boyd ISD family.
"You would find him at Cross Country meets riding the mule, attending One Act Play performances, and cheering from the sidelines and stands for football, basketball, and baseball," the statement read.
Vardy and his family are longtime members of First United Methodist Church in Fort Worth, and the family is requesting that memorial gifts be made to the church's Youth Ministry Fund.
Along with his wife, Vardy leaves behind two sons.
Tiffany Gerred, 34, of Northlake was the head clerk of the 360th District Court in Tarrant County and was en route to work when she was involved in the pileup.
"She always had a smile on her face," says Patricia Bennett, the judge of the 360th District Court, "and she got her job done very efficiently and was very kind to the people she worked with."
Aaron Watson, 45, of Fort Worth was a managing partner of a Grand Prairie Jason's Deli.
He had a wife and two kids.
A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to help the Watsons with expenses.
The other victims are William Williams, 54, of Pahoa, Hawaii; and Michael Wells, 47, of Justin.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office has not yet released the identity of the sixth victim.
