Russell Lee Fuller, 72, of Robinson passed away Tuesday, August 18, 2015 at a local hospital. Funeral services will be held 10am Saturday, August 22 at Mooreville United Methodist Church with interment to follow 3pm at Oaklawn Cemetery in Gorman.

Russell was raised on a peanut farm north of Gorman by his parents, Quincy and Viola Fuller. He attended Gorman public schools, graduating in 1961. Russell went on to graduate from McMurry College in 1965. He was a Band Director and History teacher in the Texas towns of Bronte, Aspermont, Gorman, Goldthwaite, Falls City, Tahoka, Wink, Bastrop, and Mart before retiring in 1995. Russell’s love of music began quite young. He hitch-hiked from Gorman to Brownwood to purchase his first trumpet. He changed the lives of so many students and taught some of the finest high school bands in the state. Russell also instilled the love of music in his children. He loved classical music, old-time country and marches. Russell loved baseball from an early age, playing little league through teenage league teams, following up with coaching over the years. His favorite teams were the St. Louis Cardinals and Texas Rangers, with his favorite player being Stan Musial. He also enjoyed watching western movies and tv shows, playing golf, attending band concerts and marching contests, and couch-coaching the Dallas Cowboys football team after he retired. He loved traveling with his family on vacations across the U.S. and Canada as they were growing up to teach them about the different parts of the country. He was a strong supporter of the idea of America and was a true patriot.
Russell is preceded in death by his parents; Quincy Donald Fuller, Viola Vida Fuller, brothers; Claude Fuller, Milford Fuller, Wilford Fuller, Boby Gene Fuller, Infant Boy Fuller, and sister; Maxine Dennis.
Russell is survived by his wife; Martha Fuller, children; Kami Fuller and Jonathan Yates, Klay Fuller, sisters; Lorene Eldridge, and Arlene Hooper.
