Mike Fullerton was a man filled with love. He loved God, his family and friends, his country and life itself. He lived his life in accordance with John 15:13, which says, "greater love has no man than this that he lay down his life for his friends."
Born September 19, 1949 in Hobbs, New Mexico, he was the third child of Milford Fullerton Jr and Ruby (Langford) Fullerton Victor. Throughout his life he was held in high esteem for his tremendous work ethic and his gentle spirit. These qualities attracted Deborah Land to him and on December 23, 1972 they were married. They were a perfect match, and for over forty years they were inseparable, their love growing stronger with each passing day.
Mike and Debbie were blessed with two boys, Michael Jason and Landon Brandt, who both loved their Mother and idolized their Father. Mike saw to it that his boys were always in church, always did what was right, and never gave up no matter how rough things seemed. In essence he raised his boys to be like him.
An Army Veteran who served in Vietnam, he was very skilled mechanically, and although he was gifted in brick masonry and construction Mike's desire to provide the best life possible for his family led him to work as fleet service clerk for American Airlines in both Dallas/Fort Worth and Austin. His pursuit of personal excellence eventually led him to return to college and earn his A&P License while working full-time and helping to raise his sons.
The consummate family man, Mike was elated when Jason married Robyn Dailey in June of 2001. Yet, he never smiled more than he did when celebrating the births of his Grandchildren Ryan Brandt and Lauren Kate. Grampee (as he would be called) loved to visit Ryan and Kate and spend time playing games and taking special trips with them.
Mike loved helping people and he demonstrated this in many ways. Perhaps none more profound than the Missionary trips he took to Mazatlan, Mexico and Barbados to help build Churches and Bible Schools.
Mike went to heaven to receive his reward on Sunday July 15, near the face of the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, Alaska while on vacation with his family. His final act on this earth was to courageously help save his Daughter-in-law and Granddaughter after their kayaks had capsized plunging them into 37 degree water with a survival time as little as 15 - 30 minutes. As he had done throughout the course of his distinguished life, once more, the hero (along with his son Landon and Grandson Ryan) had helped to save the day.
He leaves behind his wife Deborah Fullerton of Georgetown, two sons Jason and wife Robyn Fullerton and their children Ryan and Kate of Muskogee, Oklahoma, and Landon Fullerton of Waxahachie, Texas. His Mother Ruby Victor of Round Rock, Texas, Brother Roy Fullerton and Wife Sharon of Cedar Park Texas, Mother and Father in law Bobby and Dolly Land of San Antonio, Texas, Sister and Brother in law Beverly and Michael Felan of Irving, Texas, along with a host of nephews, nieces, cousins, family, friends and his brothers from American Airlines.
Today he is enjoying the splendor of heaven along with his Father Milford Tipton Fullerton Jr., Sister Gloria Kennedy and many other loved ones who were awaiting his arrival.
The family will receive guests on Friday evening from 6:00-8:00pm at the Ramsey Funeral Home located at 5600 Williams Drive in Georgetown. A service honoring his life will be held at noon on Saturday at the same location. A private internment will be held on Sunday.
In lieu of flowers the family respectfully requests that those desiring to make a donation in Mike's name give to either the Zach Kemper Memorial Scholarship Fund (2106 Timberline Drive Round Rock, Tx. 78665) or the Missions Department of Muskogee First Assembly (3100 Gulick Muskogee, Ok. 74403 or www.m1a.us)
You are invited to share a message or memory in the memorial guestbook at www.RamseyFuneral.com.
