Joseph John Fuller, 77, passed away on March 23, 2024. He was a beloved and devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, coach, and friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew him. He lived his life with the core values of faith and family.

Joe was born on November 21, 1946 in Brooklyn, NY. He is preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Irene Fuller. He was the oldest of the four children, and is survived by his brothers John, Steve, and Paul Fuller. Joe graduated from Manhattan College, University of Maryland, and Johns Hopkins University. He was an Operations Research Analyst for the Naval Surface Warfare Center for 40 years, retiring in 2009. He was active in the Sterling community as one of the founders of Sterling Youth Soccer Association (SYSA), Commissioner of Eastern Loudoun Basketball League (ELBL), and a coach of many youth soccer, baseball, and basketball teams. Joe passed on his love of sports to his children and grandchildren. He enjoyed participating in his sons' fantasy football league, where his team Gotta Believe, won 9 championships.

But more than anything, Joe was a proud grandfather. He loved spending time with his grandchildren, sharing stories, playing games, and watching DC sports. Joe loved watching his grandkids play soccer, basketball, softball, and baseball. He could be found behind the backstop, midcourt, and midfield watching a game cheering on his grandkids.

Joe is survived by his wife of 55 years, Kathy, and their four children: Joe Fuller and his wife Joanne, Bob Fuller and his wife Beth, Dawn Blubaugh and her husband Brian, and Tom Fuller and his wife Meri.

Joe will be deeply missed by his family but never forgotten.

Rest in Peace Gotta Believe.
