Kevin Bruce Fuller, 67, passed away on Sunday, February 2nd, 2025, surrounded by family, after a very long and determined fight against kidney disease.
Kevin was born on February 15, 1957, in Woodsville, NH to Kenneth Eugene Fuller and Marilyn Ruth (Thompson) Fuller. He grew up on the family dairy farm on Fuller Road in Newbury, VT. He spent his youth helping with the daily farm chores, including milking, haying, and seasonal maple sugaring. He participated in 4H and showed dairy cows at the local fairs. He attended Oxbow High School.
After school, Kevin worked at Ken's Texaco, owned by his father, and at the Alger Farm. He moved to Massachusetts for work where he met and married Darlene Trumbull, who became his wife of 36 years. They raised their family in Westfield MA, where he worked as a logger and then as a very skilled board sawyer at Green Meadow Lumber for many years. Upon retirement, he returned to the family camp on Round Pond in Newbury, VT to care for his mother.
Kevin had an irreverent sense of humor and loved to play pranks, to the amusement and exasperation of his family and friends. He was a grill man and homemade french fry maker. He loved hosting BBQs for family and friends, especially on Independence Day when he would put on his own fireworks display. He loved watching war movies and westerns. He was a longtime Patriots fan. He loved snowmobiling and watching motor sports. He was the 1975 Demolition Derby Champion of Vermont. He was a lifetime DIY'er.
Kevin is survived by the love of his life, Darlene of Newbury, VT, three children from a previous marriage, Heather Giurlando (Paul) of Epping, NH, Melissa Fuller (David), of Corinth, VT, Kevin Fuller II (Jennifer) of Newbury, VT, and 4 children from his marriage with Darlene, Joshua Fuller, of Southwick, MA, Karen Fuller, of Hot Springs, VA, Kenneth Fuller II (Calista) of Springfield, NH, and Evan Fuller of Springfield, MA, seven grandchildren, Hailey, Aiden, Brayden, Leah, Gracelynn, Madeleine, Jacob, his siblings, Glenn Fuller, of MA, Karen Wallace, of VA, Keith Fuller, of FL, Timothy Alger, of NV, and many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends, and his dog, Lady.
