Patrick Fulmer Obituary

Patrick Dennis Fulmer, age 68, of Yuba City, CA, entered the presence of his Lord on Sunday, December 3, 2023. He was born in Durango, Colorado to Mike and Mary Fulmer who preceded him in death.

He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Karen Fulmer of Yuba City; four children, Annaliese (Danny) Foote of San Luis Obispo, Angelika (Justin) Terry of Gridley, Rachel (Josh) Bruder of Savannah, Georgia, and Micah Fulmer of Yuba City; and 5 grandchildren. He is also survived by his three siblings, Colleen, Mike, and Kim, who reside in Oregon.

Patrick was an amateur radio operator from a young age and belonged to the Yuba-Sutter Amateur Radio Club. His call sign was KI6ZX, or as his family often heard "kilowatt, India, six, zulu, X-ray" as he chatted with other HAMs!

During family camping trips he often sat by the fire playing his guitar and singing softly. This heroic act kept the bears away on many trips to Lassen National Park.

Patrick was an active member of his church, Calvary Chapel of Gridley. He was passionate about the church's short term missions to Mexico. He practiced his Spanish language throughout the year in preparation.

He performed in the local Handel's Messiah holiday choral. His kids know the tenor part regardless of their vocal ranges.

Patrick worked as an alarm technician for Honeywell for 21 years. The profession suited his obsession with all things electronic. Many weekends were spent at Radio Shack tinkering with wires and circuits.

He had a full life surrounded by family and friends who loved him. His smile could light up a room. He battled Alzheimer's Disease in his later years and while he will be very missed by his family, they are relieved that he is no longer suffering.
