Life story

Kullin Joseph Bugel, the bravest young man we were blessed to know, has passed away at the age of 19 after a difficult battle with Type 1 Diabetes. Kullin was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 22 months old and put on a brave face from the first moment. Kullin did not let diabetes define him and instead threw himself into his favorite passions. He spent hours tinkering with Cars, Atv’s, RC cars, welding and learning construction. Kullin is survived by his parents Joseph and Brandi (nee Sance) Bugel; devoted brother of Liam, Gavin, Devlin, Greyson and Emmalyn; dearest grandson of Robert (Nancy) Bugel and Evelyn (Jim Herne) Sance and the late Randy Sance and Michael Young; cherished nephew of Anthony (Kathi) Bugel, Kimberly (Alan) Hochgraber, Victoria Bugel, Heather Galatte, Jason (Katelyn) Young and the late Randi R. Sance; dear cousin of Marijayne, Dylan, Jackson, Quinn, Chase, Wyatt, Vincent and Gabriel; proud great grandson of the late Joseph and Theresa, Mary Danforth and Warren Marbach, William and Shirley Williams, Alvin and Eva Sance. We also want to acknowledge Kullin’s best friend Matt. He stood by him and was incredibly important and supportive of him. Visitation Thursday 3-8 P.M.
