In Loving Memory of Brock Bellue Feb. 1, 1994 - Aug. 5, 2007 Brock, one year ago today you were tragically taken from this world in the blink of an eye. There was no greater sorrow than your death, and no greater joy than your birth. I was the first to hold you as you came into this world, and the last to hold you before Jesus took you from my arms to Heaven. One year has passed and the depth and breadth of our bond is as strong as ever. Your 13 years were such an undescribable gift to me. Your smile, your laugh, your kindness, your spirit lives on in the hearts and minds of everyone who knew you. Thank you for being my son, my friend, my undescribable gift. I miss you today and with every breath I take until we are reunited in Heaven. My eternal son Brock I love you. Mom Brock, I love you. Love, Steven I love Brock. Love, Reagan

Brock Christian Bellue was born on February 1, 1994 to Kellie Kirschenmann-Roland and Christian Robert Bellue. Brock (13) left us to join his heavenly Father after a tragic automobile accident cut short his precious life on Sunday, August 5, 2007. Brock was an outstanding scholar and athlete at Heritage Academy where he was to enter the 8th grade. He studied hard and maintained an overall 4.33 GPA during his 7th grade year. Outside of class Brock celebrated life and with his radiant presence and winning smile gathered people to him like a magnet. His friends, who meant so much to him especially during a previous illness, will never forget that smile and good natured humor Brock was known for. All those friends will treasure the time they spent with him forever. Brock loved spending time with his mother and step-father, his grandmother, Joy Kirschenmann and his aunt, uncle and cousins at their home in Morro Bay. Brock always enjoyed walking on the beach, collecting shells, golfing and playing with his cousins. His time spent there with his loving family will always be remembered and kept close to their hearts. His time with his Grandmother Joy was very special to the both of them. Brock spent countless days, weeks and months with his Gaga which helped her after the passing of his grandfather. Besides the special mother-son relationship, this unique and inseparable bond he had with his Gaga will never be forgotten. At an early age Brock was introduced to golf by his late grandfather Arnold Kirschenmann. He loved playing with his father Chris and best friend and cousin Gunner Kirschenmann. Brock was a regular sight at the Bakersfield Country Club and will be missed by all his golfing buddies. Brock was so proud he was able to recently attend a Nike junior golf camp with his cousin in Monterey, CA where he was able to visit Pebble Beach Country Club. He loved talking about his new driver where he was just recently hitting drives close to 300 yards. Brock routinely shot in the 80's and his last round one week ago at BCC he shot an 87. Brock kept up the Bellue gold standard in football. He had just recently been elected by his peers to be captain of the defense on the Golden Empire Fighting Irish football team. Brock also excelled in National Junior Basketball where he was chosen to play on the "all net" all-star team the last two seasons. Brock also enjoyed his times attending the Michael Jordan Basketball Camp. Such a loyal fan, Brock was always willing to drive with his family to catch a Dodger, Laker or USC football game. Brock had a dream come true two years ago when he was able to meet and sit down with his favorite basketball player, Shaquille O'Neal, during a family trip to Miami. Whether it was camping, Lake Tahoe, Atlantis, Hawaii or even visiting historic Yankee Stadium with his mother, Brock had a passion to travel. The smile on his face during these trips will never be forgotten. Brock will be deeply missed by all his friends and family, especially his parents Kellie, Steve and Chris. They all loved him very much and will never forget the love and happiness he brought into their lives. He was an angel and they feel lucky to have had him in their lives these precious 13 years.
