Christian Fonville Obituary
AZLE, TX
Christian Shane Fonville, 14, of Azle, Texas, was welcomed into heaven Friday, February 26, 2016, while surrounded by his family and enormous amounts of prayer.
Service: 10 a.m. Tuesday, March 1, 2016, at First United Methodist Church of Azle. Committal: 4 p.m. at New Hope Cemetery in Jones County. Visitation: 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, February 29, 2016 at First United Methodist Church of Azle, 200 Church Street in Azle.
Memorials: In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Christian Shane Fonville Youth Foundation, c/o The National Bank of Texas, Azle Branch, 405 Commerce Street, Azle, TX 76020.
Christian was born in Fort Worth, Texas, to Kyle and Christa Fonville on August 25, 2001. Christian was in eighth grade at Azle Junior High South where he was an Honor Roll student and served as Student Council President. Christian was also an active member of the Junior High Tennis team and enjoyed helping coaches with the football team, as well as any other group or individual who needed a helping hand.
Christian was an active member of the First United Methodist Church of Azle. He joyfully participated in the UPWARD basketball program as a player and a volunteer and as a member the youth group.
In the short time Christian was with us he had a huge impact on those around him. His contagious smile paved the way for him to share God's love with others. His daddy's quick wit was apparent from early on and his mother's caring ways evident in everything he did. He was a friend to everyone he touched and always brought joy to those around him. Young, old and everyone in between were quick to call him friend and Christian rarely met a stranger. But of all Christian's friends - his spunky dog Spike was his best. Christian's absence will be felt not only by his human friends, but his four-legged ones, too.
Christian is survived by his loving parents, Kyle and Christa Fonville; his devoted sister Kylie; Paternal grandparents Mary and Burl Fonville; Maternal Grandparents Randy and Carol Davis; Aunt Jennifer Ashley, cousins Jaron, Chase and Jeffrey; Uncle and Aunt Mark and Jennifer Davis, cousins Truman and Cash; Uncle and Aunt Jason and Caren Williams, cousins Cole, Lane, and Jacy; in addition to numerous other uncles, aunts, cousins and friends.

There are no words to express the profound sorrow we feel for your loss! Although we had not been in touch recently, we have so many fond memories of the kids playing together while we made dinner or Christa and I leaving all the kids with Kyle and Jeremy while we ran off shopping.

Our dear sweet Christian - all will miss your contagious smile, but, memories will always remain in our hearts. Your short life touched many and will continue to guide and influence towards our heavenly Father. You have left behind a ministry that will touch many who may never have known about our Heavenly Father. All who knew you were a better person by your presence. Heaven has another angel to watch over us. You will be sorely missed, but, knowing you are now running in heaven and sharing your smile, gives us a happiness and contentment that you are healed.
