In Loving Memory of Tommy Lee Fuller

Tommy Lee Fuller, 77, departed this world on December 16, 2023, at Penrose Hospital in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Tommy was born in Alamosa, Colorado, on June 3, 1946, to Thomas and Leona Fuller.

Tommy spent his formative years at Alamosa High School, where he not only excelled socially but also showcased his athleticism on the football and baseball fields. Graduating in 1964, he embarked on a lifelong journey with his high school sweetheart, Korene Manchester, whom he married in July of 1965.

A man of diverse talents, Tommy pursued his passion for technology, attending schools in Denver and Kansas City to become a skilled Computer Programmer. His dedication and expertise led him to a remarkable 35-year career at Adams State University, where he left an indelible mark.

Tommy's zest for life extended beyond the professional realm. An avid hunter, he cherished the moments spent at hunting camp with his family and cousins Johnny Smith and Rodger Fuller. A loyal Miami Dolphins fan, he found joy in watching his favorite team compete. Tommy's love for exploration took him on exciting travels, creating cherished memories along the way.

Family was the cornerstone of Tommy's life, and he found immense joy in raising his children and witnessing them create their own families. He took great pleasure in watching his grandchildren, and great-grandchildren participate in sports and various activities. His warm presence and unwavering support made him a pillar of strength for his loved ones.

Tommy is survived by his devoted wife, Korene Fuller, and their children: Todd (Kathleen) Fuller of Golden, CO, and Kristi (Paul) Duarte of Alamosa. His legacy lives on through his grandchildren: Michael (Cheyenne) Fuller of Clayton, NM, Steven Fuller of Colorado Springs, CO, Bradley (Matthew) Wolke of Atlanta, GA, Kylie Duarte of Littleton, CO, Tyler Duarte of Alamosa, CO, and Rian Fuller of Golden, CO. Additionally, his great-grandchildren Paityn Fuller and her mom Danielle White, Preston Fuller, Eli Fuller, Landon Fuller, Lily Fuller and Genevieve Gregory, will forever cherish his memory.

Tommy is preceded in death by his son Kevin Fuller and his parents, Thomas and Leona Fuller. As we bid farewell to Tommy Lee Fuller, we celebrate a life well-lived—a life marked by love, family, and the enduring spirit of a kind and compassionate soul. May his memory bring comfort and solace to all who were touched by his warmth and generosity.
