Charles David Stull was a surprise addition to his sister’s birth on Jan. 18, 1955 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Dean and Veldeane Stull welcomed Deanna Joyce and her twin, David to their family, giving three-year-old Ray Dean Stull two siblings simultaneously.
Dave prided himself on jumping in to help others and having a strong work ethic. He offered positive suggestions to others in hopes of encouraging them to find solutions to their problems, but mostly he just loved people where they were in their walk of life with his sweet spirit. He cheered on his Kansas City Chiefs and Alabama Crimson Tide with gusto; was fascinated with NASCAR, especially when he watched it in person with his twin and her husband, Bubba during a memorable trip to Talladega; raved about eggs Benedict at Hale’s Restaurant and their lovely cheerful waitresses he adored; and praised the support his pastor and the men’s group at Living Faith Church gave him. His church fostered his love of the Lord, and he was dedicated to reading the pages of his Bible and sharing scripture, especially from his cherished book of Proverbs.
Dave lived a simple life and found great pleasure in the small things, but the grace and love he showed others will leave a profound impact on those he left behind on Sept. 25, 2024 at the age of 69. His brother, Ray and Ray’s wife, Kay and their three kids, Matthew Stull, Amy Moon, and Lena Seibel and their spouses, and all his great nieces and nephews, along with his beloved twin sister, Deanna and her dog, Bella Boo will miss his presence in their lives in Hermiston.
May we all mirror Dave’s childlike trust in Jesus that leads to one day looking at the face of God. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding.” (Proverbs 1:7)
A graveside service will be held on Friday, Oct. 4, 2024 at 2 p.m. at the Hermiston Cemetery.
