In memory of Krystal Elaine Bulman

July 22, 1988 – September 6, 2024

Krystal Elaine Bulman, born on July 22, 1988, in Cottonwood, Arizona, tragically passed away on September 6, 2024, while approaching a crosswalk in Spanish Valley south of Moab. 

Krystal was the beloved youngest daughter of Lo Ren Stocks and the only child of Mark Evan Bulman. To her family, Krystal was cherished as her mother’s heart baby and her sibling’s freckle face Pepsi baby.

Krystal grew up between Moab and Meeker, Colorado, surrounded by the beauty of nature that she came to love so deeply. With family spanning across Utah, Arizona, and Colorado, she was deeply connected to the regions where she built lifelong memories.

Krystal was an old soul who embraced both the beauty and the darker, edgier aspects of life. Though she often appeared shy and reserved, her radiant smile was a beacon that could not be overlooked. She had a profound depth and complexity, with a love for the morbid and the unconventional, balanced by a heart full of love and a smile that lit up any room.

Not many knew, but Krystal had a beautiful singing voice. Her voice was both soothing and powerful, and though she rarely sang for others, her music was a reflection of her soul, filled with emotion and depth.

Her artistic talents were truly remarkable. Her drawings and beautiful handwriting were not just creative expressions but a marvel to behold, reflecting the unique spirit she possessed. After the passing of her father, she devoted herself to mastering the guitar, using music as a means to process her emotions and connect with the world around her.

A true lover of nature, Krystal found peace and joy in the outdoors. She loved fishing, hiking, camping, and snowmobiling, always seeking new adventures with an open heart. Her spirit was free and untamed, ready for the next experience nature had to offer.

Krystal was a loyal friend, known for her non-judgmental nature. She offered a listening ear and unwavering support, guiding those around her with compassion. She avoided drama, choosing instead to live authentically and embrace life with grace and resilience.

Krystal is now reunited with Brandon Kracht, the love of her life and father of her first two children, who passed away in 2015. She is also preceded in death by her father, Mark Evan Bulman of Camp Verde, Arizona; her paternal grandparents, Arvid and Betty Bulman of Prescott Valley, Arizona; and her beloved maternal grandfather, Tom Stocks of Moab. Her legacy of love, creativity, and compassion will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

Krystal is survived by her six children: Kyran Kracht (16), Kiesha Kracht (15), Colton and Jameson Bulman (12), Ecko Gritts-Bulman (8), and Xali Gritts- Bulman (5), along with her grandson, Atlas Ozsvath (6 months). Her children and grandson will carry forward her spirit, creativity, and the radiant smile that was so characteristic of her. Krystal is also survived by her mother Lo Ren Stocks; siblings: Stephanie Bell (Tim Meloveck) of Grand Junction, Colorado; Randi Bell of Loma, Colorado; Darrell Bell (Tess Marksberry) of Moab; Skyler Stocks (Jamie Miller) of Moab; David Powell of Bluffdale; and Jayden Stocks- McCollum of Salt Lake City; nieces: Kahsiah Bell, Sarah Meloveck Kyra Bell, Astraya Bell, Aylah Stocks-Dalton, Liberty Bell, Kali McKee, and Brenna Bennett; and nephews: Ezra Bell, Alligha Bell, Iziah Bell, Tyler Meloveck, Alyas Bell-Sowell, and Devin Hall.
