ROBERT FULLER

1938 – ROBERT FULLER – 2024 It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Robert Aubrey Fuller, aged 86, who left this world peacefully on November 25, 2024. Born on November 6, 1938, in Summerland, British Columbia, Robert was a devoted husband, loving father, and cherished grandfather whose legacy will forever remain in the hearts of his family and friends. Robert’s life was marked by his steadfast love for his wife, Kathleen, to whom he was married for an incredible 63 years. Together, they built a life enriched with love, laughter, and shared dreams. They faced life’s challenges hand-in-hand, navigating the journey of marriage with devotion and a sharp sense of humor that brought joy to all who knew them. Robert was a proud father to his two daughters, Brenda (Peter) Daneyko and Carolin Heuer. He delighted in the company of his grandchildren, Matthew, Jack, Quinn, and Isabella, who were the light of his life. He is also survived by his loving brother, Larry (Cathy) Fuller and his sister, Pat (Don) Muldrew. His parents, John and Mary Fuller, along with his sister, Sharon Petty, preceded Robert in death. He was a man of many interests, finding joy in drawing, bowling, and fishing the simple pleasures that grounded him and connected him to nature and those he loved. As we remember Robert, let us celebrate the joy he brought into our lives, the laughter that echoed in his presence, and the love that will forever bind us. He will be deeply missed and quietly remembered by his beloved family and friends. There will be no formal service. For those wishing to honour his legacy, donations may be made to the Margery E. Yuill Cancer Centre, c/o Medicine Hat & District Health Foundation, 666 – 5th Street SW, Medicine Hat, Alberta T1A 4H6.
