Theodore James ‘Ted’ Fuller, 43, died Thursday, Jan. 27 in a motorcycle accident in Marin.

He was born Nov. 21, 1970 to Ted Fuller and Kathy Meyer in Sylmar, where he spent his childhood.

He moved to Oakdale in 1994 and then to Sonora a few years later. During this time he worked at Inter-Mountain Truss and at Dodge Ridge. He then moved to the Tahoe area, where he worked lift maintenance at Alpine Meadows. There, he met Karen Schwartz, his companion for more than 10 years. He later moved to Marin County where he worked for Sun Iron Workers.

Mr. Fuller was genuine and lived every moment to the fullest. When he made plans, he could be counted on to be there. He loved his Harley, music, skateboards, the outdoors, his friends, and his family. Many memories were made hunting and fishing with his cousins Robert, Ryan, and Jon, and his uncle John.

He is survived by his grandfather, William Fuller; his parents; sister, Colleen (Damien) Smith; nieces, Shawnee and Cheyenne Smith; girlfriend, Taletha Hufford and her children, with whom he had developed a strong bond, Hannah Hufford and Joe Mason; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

A celebration of life will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 15 at Veterans Memorial Park, Sylmar.
