Obituary of Christopher Lee Hull

Christopher Lee Hull 1974 - 2010 On August 4th, 1974 Christopher Lee Hull was born in Dawson Creek, British Columbia to Dale and Celeste Hull. Chris was a very happy baby, who was born into a large family, which loved him dearly. Ranging from an auntie who was 7 years old to a Great-grandma who was in the eighties, Chris brought much love, delight and happiness to his family. He was a beautiful little boy with a smile that could melt your heart. When Chris was just about 3 years old he had added to his life a baby sister. Before she was even born he loved her very much. Chris spent much of his early years with both sides of his family. It was not hard to do because they lived across from one another and then two blocks away. To his younger aunties and uncles Chris was more like a baby brother. When he was of preschool age he would go with Grandma and Grandpa Hull to their farm in the Rolla, British Columbia area. He spent much of his young life with them on the farm in the seeding and harvest seasons. He loved the time he spent with them. When Chris's Grandma and Grandpa De Smet moved south, first to Prince George, British Columbia and then to Kamloops, British Columbia, Chris, Rebecca and their Mom made many trips to see them. One of his highlights of the trips was being able to go with his auntie Gerry to her baseball games. Not only did he watch her, he was used as one of the little bat boys. His love of sports began. Chris knew the statistics of hockey, baseball and football games from long before he was born to the present. Chris went to Parkhill Elementary, Frank Ross Junior High, and then South Peace Senior Secondary School. He graduated in 1992. He was on the honor roll. Chris had two nephews and one niece; Matthew, Zachary and Makenna. He loved them very much. His eyes would light up every time he talked about them. Chris did not adjust well to his parents moving to Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia or the loss of his Grandma Hull and Grandpa De Smet. On July 19, 2007 Chris suffered a larger loss. He lost the love of his life and their child in childbirth. He kept this knowledge to himself until the second anniversary of their death. He never got over the loss. When he finally was able to talk about it he said, "Mom, I will never be able to give my heart to anyone else." He never did. Although Chris no longer was active in his religion of choice (Jehovah's Witness) he maintained his beliefs. He believed the day would come when Hailey and their baby daughter would be reselected. It gives us great comfort knowing one day they will be together again in paradise on earth. Ps 37:29 "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it." Chris died suddenly of cardiac arrest, January 23, 2010. Chris was predeceased by Hailee, his infant daughter, Great - grandma Hawthorn, Grandpa De Smet, Grandma and Grandpa Hull, Great Aunts and Uncles. We will miss him dearly. A Memorial service was held on Saturday, January 30, 2010 at the Bergeron Funeral Chapel in Dawson Creek, British Columbia.
