Fullmer, Kelly F.
Kelly Farrell Fullmer, 46 of Spanish Fork, UT passed away unexpectedly
Tuesday, November 9, 2004. He left this world and walked into the waiting arms
of his Savior, father, grandparents, and nephew. Kelly was born February 8,
1958 in Pocatello, Idaho to Farrell Estus Fullmer & Nanette Fullmer Miller.
Kelly grew up in the Idaho Falls, Idaho area. He graduated from Skyline High
School, Ricks College, and Brigham Young University. In his youth he played
Little League baseball, soccer, and worked hard to become an Eagle Scout. He
enjoyed family trips, spending time with his grandparents, and always tried to
be an obedient son.
Since childhood, Kelly had a deep love of music, he passed this family
tradition along to his children. He earned the money for and bought his first
guitar when he was 15. He taught himself to play, and never stopped. In
college, he auditioned for and became a member of the Blue Grass band that
accompanied the first Ricks College folk dance team on a European tour, thus
providing a six week honeymoon for his new bride Susan Luthy. Kelly and Sue
were married April 30, 1981 in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple.
Kellys beautiful tenor voice was a gift he freely shared. He was in choirs
from the time he was in Jr. High school. At Ricks College he sang in the
acapella choir, soloing for "The Messiah". He was also in a choir when he was
a student at BYU. He was a member of Idaho Falls based, "Latter-day Sounds"
choir for many years. One of his musical highlights was singing with them at
the Assembly Hall in Salt Lake City. Kelly not only performed music, but he
composed songs and lyrics, including several songs for his sweetheart.
In addition to singing, acting was one of his loves. In Junior High School, he
received the award for "best actor", he performed in many productions in
college, and directed several Church related productions through the years.
This last summer & fall, Kelly along with most of his children performed at
the Villa theatre in Springville. He was a mentor for the cast and crew there.
Kelly loved BYU football, making pancakes every Saturday morning for the
family, and rocking-out with his guitar or bass. Kelly was an imperfect man,
but a good man. He always wanted what was best for his children. He was
steadfast, loyal, and a hard-worker. Punctuality was important to him, if he
wasnt 10 minutes early, he was late.
Kelly was a life-long member of the LDS Church. He served in the St. Louis
Missouri mission. He was also a member of the Stake Mission Presidency for
many years. Most recently he served as a gospel doctrine teacher and stake
music chairman. Kelly loved the gospel of Jesus Christ, he often told his
children, "The Church is true, act accordingly." He has gone on now, to
continue serving the Lord. Next to God, Kellys family was the most important
thing in the world to him. Kelly, have a good rest. We love you.
