This memorial website was created in the memory of GLENN EMERSON FULLER, who was born in Stanton, Michigan on March 26, 1929 and passed away at home with his daughter on May 02, 2008 in Henderson, Nevada. We will remember him forever; there will never be another man quite like him.

OBITUARY

Glenn Emerson Fuller “Sarge” passed on Friday, May 2, 2008 at the home of his daughter in Henderson, Nevada. Following 6 weeks of hospitalization resulting from stroke complications, he returned home for hospice care. He had lived 21 years in Ft. Sumner, New Mexico from August 1986 until the time of his first stroke August 29, 2007 when he joined his daughter, Debra Stefan, at her home in Nevada.

Glenn enlisted in the U.S. Army 8/26/46; served in both the Navy (submariner USS Razorback SS394) and Army until retirement 5/31/67 with over 20 years of military service including combat in Viet Nam, Dominican Republic and Cuban Crisis. He served during WWII, Korean and Viet Nam Wars.  Glenn was a master paratrooper “jump” school instructor for the distinguished 82nd Airborne Division at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina.

He married Barbara Ann Shaw of Ft. Sumner in July 1958 sharing 47 years together until the time of her passing May 4, 2004. From the beginning of marriage up until sickness and death, both "Bobbie" and Glenn enjoyed riding motorcycles together. The Fuller residence always contained a variety of bikes with Harley Davidsons among them. Bobbie's Black '83 XLX Harley Sportster and Glenn's '78 "Shovelhead" FXE with Velorex sidecar will be graveside for the final goodbye ceremony at Ft. Sumner cemetery on August 10th, 2008. 

Cremated remains will be interred at Ft. Sumner Cemetery with Military Veteran's Honor service from Cannon Air Force Base commencing at 4PM. With over 20 years of military service, Glenn will be honored with the traditional veteran's Ceremonial Flag Presentation, Firing Party, and playing of Taps.

The GLENN FULLER MEMORIAL MOTORCYCLE RIDE will begin at 2PM from High Plains Harley Davidson Dealership in Clovis and meeting at 26362 US HWY 60 in the big yellow Fuller motorcycle shop (barn). An informal remembrance gathering will take place in the shop prior to the motorcycle processional travelling to the Ft. Sumner cemetary for the 4PM service. All riders and friends from Clovis and in Ft. Sumner are welcome to attend the honor ceremony.

Glenn was known for his sense of humor, long white beard, and love of motorcycles. Glenn developed his interest in motorcycles as a boy on the farm when a friend of his sister took him and brother Fred riding on a motorcycle. He and Fred then got an “Indian” motorcycle from a farmer and got it running; this began the motorcycle passion that lasted his lifetime. Upon bringing Glenn home to Nevada, daughter Debra obtained a motorcycle license and installed a sidecar on Glenn’s favorite Harley to continue his love of riding. (See pictures on this memorial website.)

Glenn turned 79 years old on March 26.
