Kade Tuff Fullmer

We received some sad news about my second cousin Kade in Jan, he had passed away and it was from an apparent overdose. This is something he has been battling for a long time now and has tried to kick it and seemed to be doing better, getting on the right track. Such a sad situation, he was the nicest guy! A big ole teddy bear and always full of life. I'm so happy my dad and I made the trek up north for the funeral. It was such a wonderful tribute and everyone who spoke did an amazing job! 

Our loving son, brother, uncle and friend passed away on the morning of January 25, 2015 after a long, hard struggle with addiction. Kade was born April 16, 1984, to Don and Nedra Fullmer. He was the fifth of five boys. Kade loved sports and excelled in football at Bingham High School. After high school, he pursued his love for football at Dixie College. It was at college where Kade suffered a freak boating accident that took his right hand. Kade conquered this set back and learned to do things left handed. Even after losing his hand he went on to fight for the Utah State Golden Gloves Championship. Kade loved hunting ducks, geese and pheasants and spent many days hunting with his dad and brothers pursuing this love. Kade loved working with youth and spent time coaching football and boxing. Kade had a loving personality and could make friends with anyone. Kade had a huge heart and could light up a room with his personality. He was loved by all.

Kade is preceeded in death by his father Don and both sets of grandparents. He is survived by his mother, Nedra Fullmer, and 4 brothers, Larry (Claudia), Brad (Marcie), Troy (Janet), Hud (Brenda) and many nieces and nephews who loved him.
