Christopher “Aisiipyaboh-Night Traveller” Bull Bear of Siksika Nation, AB, beloved father of Starla and Shyla Hudson, Myla, Amyrah, and Kalila Bull Bear-Atwell, Sequoia, Naomi, and Odessa De Caire-Bull Bear, passed away suddenly on Thursday, May 2, 2024, at the age of 43 years, to be with our Creator-Apistotoki.

Chris was born and raised in Calgary, AB. He loved to be with his children and spend quality time with them; he also enjoyed playing basketball and working out at local gyms. Chris had a big heart; he often helped others and even did some street church, where he prepared and fed frybread to over 300 community members without shelter. Chris also spent time with his siblings, nieces, and nephews, whom he loved dearly. Chris had a beautiful, caring soul, and the people closest to him can attest to this. He fought his own addictions and always worked towards bettering himself, as his daughters were his joy and his world. Chris truly respected the mothers of his children, Leah, Stephanie, and Late Francis, for all the beautiful girls they gifted him.
