Richard Donald Fuller
Obituary
Born March 4, 1958 to Donald B Fuller and Irene M Fuller (Kellar) in Watford City, North Dakota.
Died April 19, 2022 surrounded by family at Swedish Edmonds Medical Center, Edmonds, WA.
Rick’s life was filled with thrills and adventure. He spent his early years in Minnesota alongside four siblings, many cousins and friends. Later on in Seattle with more cousins, expanded friends and an ever growing family.
After graduating from Tyee HS he enlisted as a US Marine where, among many experiences he qualified as a Designated Marksman/Sharpshooter and served in Okinawa, Japan and in Yuma, AZ.
Rick was proud to do an excellent job regardless of the task. Whether he was managing your tire store, fixing your car, mowing your lawn or moving your belongings – you could trust him.
For most of Rick’s career his company moved him to struggling locations where he’d turn each shop into a success story. He had his own way of turning things around and he did the same thing in his Lawn Care Service, beautifying lawns and building great relationships. His customers looked forward to his calls and if he didn’t call them – they’d be sure to call Rick.
Rick tirelessly shared the message of recovery to those who still suffer. As an active member of AA, he recently received his 15 yr coin.
He owned a dog most of his life. Once Tidbit was gone he didn’t own another, but he sure loved your dog.
Rick was predeceased by his parents as well as his Stepfather, Gordon Mueller.
He was devoted to and beloved by the large family he leaves behind of siblings, their spouses, generations of nieces, nephews and their spouses. Rick’s extended family includes many cousins, aunts, uncles and countless friends.
