Aaron Fulnecky Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Aaron was an accomplished artist with a diverse body of work. He attended Columbia College Chicago, where he honed his craft and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography.
His eye for detail, unique perspective, work ethic, wide skill set, and charm made him a highly sought-after photo and lighting assistant, a role in which he excelled. Aaron's dedication to the craft, quick wit, humor, and his warm personality made him a beloved figure among his colleagues and peers within the photography community.
While Aaron's professional life was centered around photography, his greatest passion in life was fishing. This is where he found solace and joy. His love for fishing began at the age of four in his backyard. He traveled many places to fish, and was a true conservationist. His favorites were steelhead and smallmouth bass. Aaron's fishing was more than just a pastime; it was his superpower. He was a great outdoorsman, and also loved kayaking and skiing.
Throughout his life, Aaron's kind, genuine heart and gentle spirit touched everyone he met. His infectious laughter, generosity, and firm hugs brought joy and comfort to those around him.
Aaron is survived by his loving parents, Terry and Marilyn (Yeater) Fulnecky; his brother Robert Fulnecky; his beloved partner Amanda Bertany. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and devoted friends. He will be deeply missed.
A private ceremony will be held in Goshen, IN at a later date in addition to a celebration of life in Chicago. Details to follow.

I can´t believe the universe took someone as full of life, so special, and funny as Aaron. I had the best time working with him, and there wasn´t a project I produced where I didn´t say, "Let´s get Aaron. He´s the best!" Aaron was always a joy to have on set.
I remember one time we were shooting on the North Shore. It was a hot summer day in Chicago, with several locations to cover. The homeowners didn´t allow shoes inside, so we had shoe covers and floor protection in place. There was Aaron on the ground, holding the fill card for the photographer, barefoot with his feet-clearly in need of a pedicure-on full display. I told him, "Aaron, cover up those feet!" He looked at me with that mischievous grin, exposed his belly, and with a southern drawl said, "I´m from Indiana, we don´t wear shoes." I laughed so hard, blew him a kiss, and tossed a pair of blue shoe covers onto his head.
I´m so grateful I got to work with him again just this past July. We had another seamless production, and this time Aaron was dressed perfectly and wearing shoes. I adored him.
RIP, sweet Aaron. You will be so missed.
