David Scott Hull

David Scott Hull of Thornton, CO went to be with his Lord on July 3rd, 2014 after a long and courageous battle with leukemia, surrounded by his family. David was born in Denver, CO on October 20th, 1962 to William and Mary (Griffin) Hull. In August of 1994, Dave married the love of his life Angie Cordle. They have five beautiful children together.

Growing up in Northglenn, Dave graduated from Northglenn High School in 1981. In August of 1986 Dave enlisted in the Navy where he became a "radio man", a natural fit for a young man who was gifted with machines, gadgets, and anything technical or complex. Dave has always been very good with his hands, he could fix anything; he rebuilt car engines, fixed stereos, just about anything. During Dave's enlistment, he proudly served on the USS Henry Stimpson, a nuclear submarine, for six years. He was honorably discharged in July 1992.

Upon his return to Colorado he went to Metro State University where he earned his Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science. In the professional world Dave was truly a diamond in the rough. He was gifted at working with end users to trouble shoot and fix their problems. Because he could write code, fix and rebuild computers, he became a database administrator and was able to masterfully navigate all aspects of the computer industry. Men of his caliber are novel and highly admired by other skilled professionals in the same industry. It is rare to find someone who could do all aspects of technology (a gift his family and friends benefitted from on numerous occasions).

Although Dave was great at his job, his passion has always been his family. Growing up he was dedicated to his parents, brother, sisters, and cousins, and there was nothing he would not do for his family. Since he usually drove a truck, he was always being asked to help move someone. He was continually asked for assistance with technology, painting houses, fixing plumbing, pruning trees, the list being endless to his helpful nature and assistance. As a man, his family grew to encompass his wife, Angie, her family, and five wonderful children. He was the consummate father who worked tirelessly to provide for his family, not just financially, but emotionally and spiritually. Dave loved the outdoors and the mountains, and his greatest joy was going fishing and camping with his boys in the mountains as often as possible. He would wrestle with the boys, play games and mostly just be the best dad and husband he could be. Just over two years ago, Dave and Angie were blessed with a baby girl, named Abigail. Abby was the apple of Dave's eye and she had him wrapped around her little finger within minutes of birth.

To know Dave was a gift. Dave was not focused on having a lot of friends; his focus was on being a good friend. From the time Dave was a small child he was an extremely happy boy with a contagious laugh and a smile that would light up the room. That same disposition followed Dave into adulthood and made him a joy for others to be around. Dave will be most missed for his kindness, generous spirit, and playful nature. He always had a smile on his face; and, even when he was sick, he would try his hardest to be positive – he never complained and always placed his trust in God. He was an extraordinary Christian who lived his faith every day.

Dave is preceded in death by his father William Hull and Grandparents Alva & Valasta Griffin. He is survived by his wife Angie Hull; 4 sons: Scott Hull, Noah Hull, Anthony Hull, Eric Hull; 1 daughter: Abigail Hull; mother Mary Hull of Northglenn; brother: Jonathan Hull of Northglenn; 3 sisters: Carolyn (Duane) Locke of Colorado Springs, Justine (Doug) Free of Erie, CO, Mary (Greg) Ferbrache of Arvada and numerous nieces and nephews.
