Leroy Vernon Fullerton

Leroy was a family man with a heart of gold.  He passed away peacefully on May 29, 2026, at the age of 76.

Leroy Vernon Fullerton was born January 26, 1950, to Vernon and Betty (Shockley) Fullerton in Willmar, Minnesota.  He attended school in Olivia, Minnesota and graduated in 1968.

He married JoAnn Bauman on July 6, 1968.  They were blessed with five children.  Leroy and JoAnn were married for 44 years before JoAnn passed away in 2013.

Family was important to Leroy.  He enjoyed playing softball, shooting pool, swimming, fishing and hunting with his kids and grandkids.  Shooting pool was Leroy's life!  He shot league for many years.  There wasn't a time he didn't want to be in the basement shooting with anyone who would shoot with him.
