Inier David James Fulton-Cardinal , 1996 - 2001

Inier David James Fulton-Cardinal, a long name for a little guy so he went by D.J., was born to CoriLee Fulton and Inier Walter Cardinal on Aug. 23, 1996 in High Prairie at 2:13 p.m. It was a Friday. D.J. lived mostly in Sucker Creek with his mom, papa Kenny, Grandma de Chelle and Drew. D.J. spent his days playing Nintendo, when Andrew allowed, playing on his 'puter and watching cartoons. He loved to spend time with his daddy, playing outside and hunting, much to the distress of his mother. D.J. spent a year and a half in Red Deer, Alta., first with his mom, then with his mom and Ryan. He took gymnastics and swimming lessons, which energized him rather than tiring him. D.J. loved to drive with papa Kenny, and visit around the reservation. D.J. would always talk to papa James and ask for quads and motorcycles. Although he couldn't take it long, D.J. spent numerous hours with his mom and her girlfriends, his adopted aunties, at coffee in the Burger Baron. To keep him happy and mildly quiet, quarters and "duck money" were kept on hand for the candy machines. D.J. passed away suddenly on Friday, Jan. 5. Few words can describe D.J., only our memories will serve him justice. So remember him as he was. D.J. leaves to mourn his mother Cori, father Inier, grandfathers James and Ken, his auntie Michelle, many other aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. D.J. was also escorted to heaven on the wings of grandma and uncle.
