William Hules 12-15,1971-12-27, 2023

Posted on January 22, 2024 by dpmckinney

William Hules born December 15, 1971. Son of Katie Hules and James Hules of Pasadena, Ca. William is survived by his father James Hules, children Ashley Hules, James Hules II, Bryce Hules, step daughter Colby, sister Theresa Hules Baisley, Step brother Doug Pierce, and Step sister Diane McKinney. Born in California he spent his early years in Pasadena with his beloved Grandmother and parents. In first grade he moved to Houston where he would spend the rest of his childhood. He enjoyed little league when he was in elementary and moved on to football in middle and High school but above all he was a huge military history buff. He would watch any war movie he could get his hands on and was an avid researcher. His youth was spent climbing trees, playing in the mud, catching snakes and running around the neighborhood. He had a great sense of humor and kept his family laughing, always being the wit and charm of the family.

Upon moving on from high-school he joined the army where he was stationed in Panama during the Noriega days. He met his first wife there and they moved back after his tour to the states to Memphis, TN where he started his college education. He had two children Ashley and James here. He shared a lawn care business with this brother for many years until moving back to Texas after his divorce. Here he met this second wife. Living in Abilene he started another business that was wildly successful and had one last child Bryce. He enjoyed many years in Abilene before making his last move back to his beloved California to be closer to this mother and sister and where he met his last true love Linda. He was in the process of getting his nursing degree and worked with disabled patients when he met his untimely death. But his life during this time was the most settled and happy of all his stages of life. He made the most of this time traveling, shooting and participating in extreme sports. He was happy with his career and ongoing education, helping others and surrounded by friends and most of all, love.

John Pierce – My Crazy Dad

Posted on March 9, 2018 by dpmckinney

There are a lot of crazy stories about my Dad and at some point I will take the time to write them down but for now I just thought I would post this article. Of course my mother’s version of this story was quite different. LOL

4th of July at the Beach

Posted on July 4, 2015 by dpmckinney

A little beach time and some fun fishing with Uncle Douglas and their cousin. The girls first time to use a cast net. They LOVED it. But Katie couldn’t keep anything, not even for bait. She’s a catch and release kind of girl! Fun times.

Hannah’s Chocolate Bunny Game

Posted on April 5, 2015 by dpmckinney

Hannah came up with a clever little game for us. She drew Easter pictures and hid them all over the house. The first one to find the chocolate bunny was the winner. Runner up had the most Easter pictures. Great game and kudos to Katie for finding the chocolate bunny!

The Egg Wars!

Posted on April 5, 2015 by dpmckinney

Ok. So this really cracks me up. We have egg wars every year with our Easter eggs for the Champion egg. Something we always did when I was a kid. Most of the time it’s just between Katie and Hannah but last year Lacey joined the fun. This year Mema was in on it and I love these pictures!!! Cracks me up!

New Year’s Eve with the Cousins

Posted on December 31, 2013 by dpmckinney

Sadly I got NO pictures other than of the CD we were laughing our heads off (that would be Lacey and I) while Michelle and Katie just shook their heads. Clearly we had lost our minds. Here’s a little script from Facebook though that should shed some light on our New Years. AND NO, there was no alcohol involved. Sadly this was all JUST us. I think I have video but it is SUPER embarrassing! And Katie’s comment for the night “Now I know why kids are embarrassed of their parents.”
