William Andrew Hume

OBITUARY NOTICE William Andrew “Drew” Hume, age 11, was called home on February 19, 2016, at Fairfax Inova Hospital, following a brief battle with complications of Type I diabetes. Andrew passed peacefully at approximately 2:30 a.m., with his mother, Cassandra Hume, and his father, Richard Turville II, and many other family members at his bedside. He lived in Manassas and attended 5th grade at Loch Lomond and Ellis Elementary Schools. In addition to his parents, Andrew is survived by his sisters, Ella and Sadie Mallory; his maternal Grandparents Maryalice (Mimi) & Mark (Pappy) Hume; his paternal Grandmother Debbie (Nana) Turville; his paternal Grandparents Rick (Pop Pop) & Montez (Nae Nae) Turville; Great Grandparents Patricia (Grammy) Staats, Pete & Sherry Hume, and Cora Madeline Selvage; Great-Great Grandmother Eva (Mommom) Richardson; maternal Aunts Brittany Harmon and Rachel Hume, maternal Uncles Jeremy Hume, and Isaac Durnell, paternal Aunt Jennifer Turville, and numerous cousins and other extended family members. He was an active member, with his father, at the Common Ground Interdenominational Church in Fredericksburg, Virginia. He attended Sunday School and helped his father with the set up and tear down for the day’s services, and was much beloved by his church family. Incredibly intelligent, Andrew was a kind, compassionate and caring “old” soul, and a very protective older brother. He easily engaged in conversation with people of all ages and possessed an amazing vocabulary which belied the brevity of his years. He had been diabetic for nearly 7 years and had assisted in the maintenance and control of his disease, actively participating in his own monitoring and care. Andrew enjoyed watching movies and TV with his family and enjoyed a myriad of genres from cartoons to comedy to drama, and always asked engaging questions whenever he needed further information. He loved Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, America’s Funniest Home Videos, Big Bang Theory and Family Guy, to name a few. He had a gifted sense of humor and his comedic timing was routinely perfect. Andrew was an enthusiastic reader, and was particularly fond of the Fable Haven, Artemis Fowl, and Diary of Wimpy Kid series of books, to name a few. He had developed a love of origami and regularly made new creations that he would give to family and friends. He was a very avid gamer, and loved MineCraft, Terraria, Call of Duty (especially battling zombies), Fallout, Destiny, and Uncharted, which he particularly enjoyed with his Daddy, Pappy and sisters. He was just a truly and incredibly remarkable boy!
