Michael Fullerton Obituary

Michael James Fullerton, 18, a senior at Northwest Rankin High School, died with his beloved sister Caitlin in an auto accident on their way to school on Thursday, Nov. 1.
A memorial service for Mick and Caitlin will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday at Pine Lake Baptist Church.
Mick's extraordinary life revolved around family, friends and soccer. He was competitive in the best sense of the word and beloved by his club and high school teammates, many of whom he has traveled the country and Europe with over the past eight years.
Mick, a central defender, was a leader on his club team, Mississippi Fire coach Chad Hampton says, easily one of the top five players in the state.
Yet he was so close to his family that he never seriously considered the many out-of-state colleges that recruited him.
He deeply loved his parents, Jay and Elaine, his sister, Caitlin, and their older brother Will.
"Mick wanted to stay home and go to school close by," his father says.
Mick stood up for his teammates and club at every opportunity as they won four State Cup titles and more than 25 tournament championships over the years, including a sixth Crossroads of the South championship this past Sunday and a memorable victory in the finals over a German team in Barcelona, Spain, in the summer of 2006.
"He never missed practice", Hampton says. "He was always pushing people, and if he thought I was too light on the team, he would get on me and tell me to step it up. That's what kind of kid he was."
"Mick was really enjoying his senior year," his father says, "and was looking forward to the high school season," when Northwest is expected once again to contend for the state 5A title.
In addition to his parents, Mick is survived by his brother Will, a student at Mississippi State; his grandparents, William and Freddie Fullerton of Lake Charles, La., and Marian Byrne of Wexford, Pa.; and his great-grandmother, Marilyn Kelly of Lake Charles.

We all still miss you very much.

Mick,

Today is exactly six months since the accident. I was thinking of you yesterday because that was exactly six months since the last time I talked with you on the RSC soccer pitch during practice.

Chris and I went to the site this morning before school to pay our respects. I was able to take a moment and just think about you and Caitlin. You two brought so much joy into the lives of others.

This morning was gray and cloudy. Driving there, the clouds filled the entire sky except for one small hole where light was getting through in the direction I was headed. When I got there, it was cloudy again. As the traffic went by and kids were going to school, I thought how you would have been driving to school if this was just any other day. But it is not any other day. I enjoyed the cool morning as I thought about how much you and Caitlin meant to so many people. When the sun burst through again, I knew it was time to go.

I have thought about you two every day since the accident. I wish there was some way both of you could be here physcially and spiritually. It is still unusual not having both of you around the soccer pitch. When it came to the soccer pitch, we could always depend on you to be there and ready to play.

I just wanted to drop you this note to let you know that we are always remembering you and today is a very special day to remember you and Caitlin. I will be writing you to summarize the 2008 soccer season where your boys took home the state championship and the #1 ranking. I know that is something you always wanted.

Until then, keep pitching shutouts and leading that defense in heaven.

Mr. Jay and Mrs. Elaine, I am so sorry for your loss. I just wanted to let you know that in the short time that I knew and played with Mick he was very kind to me and warmly welcomed me into the team. I really appreciate his graciousness towards me. I am praying that God will grant you and your family true peace and joy that only comes from Him. Philippians 4:13. God bless.

Elaine, Jay and Will:

When I think about Mick & Caitlyn, I first remember little league baseball, when we first met, long before soccer. All the long days and nights of tournaments and the fun we had together, especially with Caitlyn. She always had a smile on her face and something to say about everything. As our boys changed sports, we saw little of each other but everytime our paths crossed, we hugged and talked. Thomas knew Mick better than I did as I was always in the stands, usually with Caitlyn. I can still see her running up to me with her hands swinging by her side, holding her cell phone in one hand of course and that big smile that consummed her face. She always made me feel so special and I remember telling you, Elaine, last year how she made me feel. I didn't know Will that well but my daughter, Amanda, was in school with him and said how quiet he was, completely opposite of Caitlyn. You both should be very proud of the way you raised them the short time you had them. They were admired and respected by so many people and that is a true reflection on you as parents. I pray for all of you every morning, noon and every night. I can't imagine what you're going thru but please know that you are not alone. You have so many friends to cling to and depend on. The most important being you have is God, who knows how you feel as he also lost a son. I know these words can't console you but please know you're constantly prayed for and Mick & Caitlyn will always have a place in our hearts.

Jay and Elaine,
I know that at a time like this kind words bring only a brief and temporary moment of solice. As a friend of both Mick's and yours I hope that I can deliever one of these moments and as time goes I hope these moments will begin to last longer and longer. Mick...... What can I say about him, he was Mick, there was no one else quite like him. He was quiet at times, completely animated at others and he always had a way of surprising you. Whether it was on the field or off, Mick always knew what he wanted and moved toward that goal. As a coach I got to share one of the best experiences of my life with Mick and Jay in Spain. Complete underdogs to a German team that played TOTAL FUTBOL, we magaged a tie and were forced to PK's. Not being familiar enough with the team, I was suprised when Mick was picked as the last kicker. Honestly, I was not sure if Mick could handle the pressure. As fate would have it the outcome of the game came down to Mick's shot. As all of us soccer players know.... that walk from midfield to the penalty spot is one of the longest and loneliest walks in the world. I was shocked to see Mick make the walk as though he was on a Sunday stroll in the park without a care in the world. I knew he was going to make it just by the way he walked up to the ball, put his hand (or wrist) on his hip and looked back at the ref with those big eyes. After he smashed it into the net a defining moment happened that no one there will ever forget. It wasn't the win, it was the experience that we all shared together that day. Jay and Elaine, I owe one of the most enlightning moments of my coaching life to your son and he will forever be a part of my heart. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

My dearest Jay and Elaine,

My heart cries for you each day. Words will never be able to explain what you and your precious children mean to me and my family.
Mick was a man amoung boys, a born leader that had a very compassionate heart. He was a quiet leader but stood tall in all challenges. Your precious Caitlin, fun, bouncy, loving, friendly.She was very high energy and I can see her in heaven right now, telling every guy angel that he is soooo hot...She told me many times that she is proud of her family and would not change her life. As parents that has to make you proud that both children paid tribute to their family life. There is not a day that goes by that I don't pray for you. I lift you up in my thoughts when I wake every morning and when I lay my head down at night.
May God love and comfort you all the days of your life. He will because the scripture says that he will. We love you!!!!!!!!

November 28, 2007

Jay,Elaine, and Will:

Please know you are in our family thoughts and prayers. Having competed against Mick, then having the honor to be his teammate, it was evident to my son Drew where the heart and soul of the team resided. As a father, I admire the example Mick provided for Drew - desire, effort, quality of character, the whole package. Also from the many games we watched, it was evident there was no bigger team fan than Caitlyn.

We pray that God will give you strength during this time of loss. We look forward to seeing you at the games as the healing process unfolds. Whether high school or club, both remain Mick's team.

Just wanted to let you know that your family is in our prayers during this very difficult time. I didn't personally know Mick and Caitlin but had the opprotunity of watching Mick play soccer for the Fire (MS United) over the last few years. He was a truly a great soccer player. My son, Stephen, got to know Caitlin over this past year. He tells me that she was a great girl and was fun to be around. Always laughing and cutting jokes. A day doesn't go by that I do not think of both your children. May you find comfort in the Lord.

Dear Jay,Elaine and Will,

We continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers...

The following excerpt is the announcement made over the P.A. prior to this years first High School match...thought it was important for you to know:

"On behalf of a proud Cougar Nation, we would like to welcome you to Northwest Rankin High School and the first match for the 2007-2008 high school soccer season.
Today is a bittersweet day...We are excited for the upcoming season...yet our hearts are saddened as we mourn the loss of two members of our Northwest Rankin family.
Mick Fullerton, senior defender for the Cougars was one of the state's top players and a friend to this team. His sister Caitlin was without a doubt the team's biggest fan...We ask for a moment of silence to remember Mick and Caitlin...

The team and coaches of the Northwest Rankin Cougars would like to dedicate this season to Mick and Caitlin. Both the men's and women's teams will wear black arm bands with Mick's number, number 31, in tribute to our fallen friends...
The Cougars will also start today's match, a man down, in tribute to our great senior defender...but Make no Mistake, this Team, this School and this Community understands they will always, ALWAYS, have a 12th Man on the field of play...

Jay and Elaine,
I cannot begin to say how sorry I am for your loss. Having to endure such a tragedy is not something that anyone could wish upon another. Through my time knowing Mick, I found him to be one of the most endearing and respectful kids I have ever been around. During the service all I could think of for some reason was the Euro Championship in Spain and how he looked at us coaches as if the final penalty shot was a piece of cake. Any other player might buckle in such a pressure environment but "Micholas", as I sometimes called him, took it in stride and never had a doubt that he would finish it off. That was Mick, no challenge was too great. It pains me to know that two people like your children could be taken from this world, however it comforts me to know that all who knew them were deeply touched by their presence while here on earth. It is a testament to their characters that they are missed by so many. My deepest sympathy goes out to your entire family and my prayers will remain with you, Mick, and Caitlin.

Hello my friends...

Not a day goes by that I don't pray for your family. Mick was such a special person to all of us here in the Smith house. He was a leader of men. We have so many wonderful moments to remember him.

He will live for ever in our hearts and souls.

We love you all and we promise to keep your childrens memories in our minds forever.

Dearest Fullerton family,
My heart aches as I fill this out. It is difficult for all of us to stand firm in our faith, especially in times like these. However, it is through the trials that lessons and growth occur. This is a HUGE one for each and every one of us. Our God is the GREATEST Healer and Redeemer. My heart, much like yours, has been broken. HE will fix it and yours as well. My prayer is that each of us touched by this tragedy turn towards and not away from our AWESOME God.

Dear Jay, Elaine, and Will,
Even though we have known you all for just a short 3 years, we love you dearly and have been blessed by you being parts of our lives. Mick was a special friend to Presly...coming onto the team as the "out of towner", Mick made Pres feel right at home. Caitlin was a joy on the sidelines. She never met a stranger..I will never forget when she first met Abby and immediately invited her to her BIG birthday party! She loved life and made others happy by being around her.
Mick was fun and an awesome soccer player.The time Pres spent with Mick in Europe will always be a a source of comfort and joy to Pres. What better people we all are because we were touched by you and your precious children!
God Bless you! You are always in our thoughts and prayers.
We love you,
The Wallaces (Tupelo, MS)

Jay and Elaine,
It's been our great pleasure to get to know you, Mick and Caitlin over these last eight years. How we loved watching Mick play on the field and Caitlin playing on the sidelines. Our hearts break for you and if there was only something we could do to ease your pain. Mick and Caitlin were wonderful kids who were full of life and loved their family. We are better people for having known them and will carry them with us in our hearts forever.

Mick,
It has been over three weeks now since we talked in person and I have thought of you everyday. I have watched you grow up to be a great young man and a fantastic soccer player. I have so many fond memories of you during soccer trips and games. You made the winning shot in the Euro U17 champioship in Spain during 2006. I saw you score two headers in two minutes to beat Vicksburg two years ago. Last month, I looked on as you scored during the Crossroads Tournament and helped your team win another tournament championship. I can see you making those sliding tackles against strikers to disrupt a play. In soccer, we call you the "Big Unit" because you were big, fast, dependable and played with passion in the middle of the field where the action was. How about those orange cleats, that orange skull cap and that red cap. You are a true blessing to to me, my family and to all who knew you. You loved playing soccer and that showed in your life and play. As a teammate, you played your position with a great sense of unselfishness as you put your teammates first. Off the field, you enjoyed yourself and showed great respect for your mom, dad, sister and brother. You are such a good representative for your family. What a run you made. Thank you for warning me about the errant soccer shots during your last NWRHS practice. That was you having fun. Your school, your teammates and this community will always be proud of you. I will forever miss you and I will never ever forget you. You will be with all of us forever. Well done.

Please know that you are not forgotten during this Thanksgiving season. I know the holiday season will pose a challenge for the entire family. When Jesus was on earth, He said He came to heal broken hearts. He's still in the broken heart business today. He will heal the void left in your family, with time, if you will give him all the pieces of your heart. I pray He will surround you with His mighty love and strength tomorrow (Thanksgiving) and every day afterward.

No words anyone can say can ease your pain, but may you be comforted knowing how many people are lifting you up in prayer. May the Risen Christ comfort you in this time of great loss and give you hope in the resurrection. May God richly bless you.

I was so upset to learn about your losses. I remember Michael as a sweet, adorable little boy. I know your family faces a long, sad road ahead, but I hope it helps a little to know that my family and I are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

November 5, 2007

You will be in our prayers forever. God has a plan for everyone even though it may not make sense now. Keep in mind how many lives they touched when they were here. That will never go away. I know they are in heaven now and what two better people to watch over you and your family. You have wonderful friends in your life that you can count on to help you through this time. We will be here for you. We love you.

November 5, 2007

My deepest condolences to your family from someone that does not even know you, but has a son and daughter the same ages. I can not begin to imagine the pain you are going through and only hope God can deliver you some measure of comfort and strength from having each other to hold onto now.

I know the plans I have for you delcares the Lord...Jerimiah 29:11
Why was God's plan for your two precious children to be with Him in heaven? This side of heaven we probably will never know but may it comfort your family to know that God did have a plan and that they are together with HIM. My prayers are with you all.

Heaven awaits each of us who know Him, our Lord and Savior. I do not know you personally but feel deeply that you are a family who knows the Lord just from reading the obituaries; such a loving family. God says love is the greatest gift He gives us. Isn't it great that God gave YOU those wonderful children to love and have known. After all, our children are more His than ours. However, He knows we hurt because He is the one who created the relationship between a mother and father and their children. The memories you have will help but not heal all the pain I know but God's grace, love, and mercy will see you through. My heart hurts for you and I cannot even imagine these words ever comforting me if this were to happen to my precious children but I do know that my God is more powerful than I could ever imagine even in times like these. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4
LOVE IN CHRIST!!

[1 Thessalonians 4:13-18]

We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, about those who have fallen asleep, so that you may not grieve like the rest, who have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose, so too will God, through Jesus, bring with him those who have fallen asleep.
Indeed, we tell you this, on the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will surely not precede those who have fallen asleep.
For the Lord himself, with a word of command, with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God, will come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore, console one another with these words.

I do not know you personally nor did I know Mick, but my daughter knew him (she is a Junior). From what I know of him, he was a good kid that you can be proud of. I can't possibly imagine what you are going through right now, but God (and time and lots of prayer) will get you through this. Our prayers are with you in your time of sorrow.

My love and prayers go out to the parents, brother and others left behind. I will truly lift you up in prayer to God. As I was reading your children's obituaries, I must say, you were truly blessed to have such wonderful, outgoing, caring and loving children. They are in the best of hands now on a journey that one day we will all take and be joined again with those that have gone on before us. God bless and keep you all.
