BOURBON — Christopher Jon Cullison, 54, South Bend, passed into the hands of God after a long battle with cancer at 10:39 p.m. Dec. 4, 2017, in St. Joseph Hospital Regional Medical Center.

Christopher Cullison was born Jan. 26, 1963, to Stephen F. Cullison and Margaret A. Irey Cullison in Indianapolis. He graduated from Tippecanoe Valley High School in 1981 and went on to graduate cum laude from Ball State University in 1989 with a degree in industrial arts technology education.
