Throughout his career, Tim devoted himself to the success of Christian institutions of higher education, becoming a beloved leader, guide, and friend to many college and university presidents, in organizations like the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, the National Association of Christian College Admissions Personnel, and the Association for Biblical Higher Education, and with colleagues across North America. His expertise made him sought after the first time; his compassion and sense of humor made him sought after for a lifetime.
As proud as he was of his career accomplishments, Tim was ever prouder of his family. He loved the team he formed with his beloved Carol, his teammate in life and in managing the Fuller household. He loved his children, Rebecca (Christopher), Daniel (Kristin), and Jonathan (Abby), who with their spouses and families hope to carry on Tim's legacy of deep care, corny dad jokes, and devotion to their family. Of the many titles he held over the years, his favorite may have been "Grampy", a role he thrived in as grandfather to Stephen, Ella, Eden, Liliana, Amos, Ruby, and Jackson. You could always find one of them in Grampy's lap, searching for golf balls with him, or snuggled up while they took selfies together or watched whatever game was on TV. All of his surviving family, including his sister, Marilyn, and brother, Jonathan, cannot fathom life without the bright light Tim provided them.
In death, Tim is reunited with his cherished parents, Lillian Petzinger and Richard Fuller, and united for the first time with his eldest brother, Stephen, who died at birth. We also anticipate Tim is already holding down the bass section in a choir singing joyful music and organizing a heavenly fantasy baseball league.
