In February 1998, Sandy Hume, the progeny of Brit Hume, met an untimely demise through suicide. Sandy, who worked as a journalist for The Hill, became renowned for disseminating information regarding the unsuccessful political endeavor to succeed House Speaker Newt Gingrich in 1997. In his honor, the Sandy Hume Memorial Award for Excellence in Political Journalism was instituted by the National Press Club.
The profound bereavement of his son profoundly affected Brit, prompting him to seek comfort and significance in his religious convictions. His declaration that he had given his life to Jesus Christ in the aftermath of the traumatic event was personally profound. Virginia Hume, the daughter of Brit Hume, is an active participant in the media industry, having contributed to The Weekly Standard. Concurrently, Brit wed Kim Schiller Hume in 1993; before her retirement in 2006, she had an illustrious career as Fox News vice president and Washington bureau chief.
