Notes |
- Michael was born when his father was stationed at Ellington AFB in Houston, where he served as a Liason Advisor working with the Reserve Air Crews. This group also moved cargo for the armed services throughout the US and South America.
Michael excelled in sports and hoped to become a coach after finishing college. He enlisted in the United States Air Force at the age of 18, and planned to attend college with the G.I. Bill after completing his term of service. He played on several base teams, and at Kelly AFB played softball, basketball, and football. Michael's death came without warning, following a base softbally game. He had not been sick, and at 6'2' and 180 lbs. he was the picture of health. After his death, the Baker Flight team dedicated its season to his memory, and all players wore his number on their shoulder. There was standing room only at the Rosevine Church of God for his memorial service, some of his military friends came from as far away as Idaho.
A Mike Fuller Memorial Fund was established in San Augustine to raise money for the local little league, and the ball field where Mike played his last game was named the "Mike Fuller Memorial Field."
