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. Brock
is preceded in death by his
beloved ("Papa") grandfather,
Arnold Kirschenmann. Brock is
