Brian Charles Fuller

Brian C. Fuller, of Bowie, Maryland, passed away peacefully on November 14, 2025. He was a devoted father, grandfather, friend, and a man who left a quiet but enduring impact on all who knew him.

Brian was preceded in death by his mother, Constance (Warren) Fuller; his father, Charles Fuller; his brother, Michael Fuller; and his beloved dog, Scooter. Though they are gone, their influence lived on in Brian’s kindness, strength, and warm spirit.

He is survived by his son, Brian “Rudy” Fuller, and daughter-in-law Kate Fuller, as well as his cherished grandchildren: Reilly, Liam, and Fiona. Brian is also survived by his former wife of 28 years, Maureen, with whom he shared many meaningful years and the joy of raising their son, Rudy.

Professionally, Brian dedicated his career to public service. After attending LaSalette Seminary, he studied Theology at Catholic University. He taught at St. Matthias School in Lanham before becoming the Vice Principal at Bishop McNamara High School in Forrestville. He went on to earn a Master’s Degree in Pastoral Counseling at Loyola University in Baltimore. He served as an addictions counselor and later a supervisor at the Prince George’s County Health Department and the Anne Arundel County Health Department, where he was known for his compassion, steadiness, and genuine care for the wellbeing of others.

Brian will be remembered for his gentle nature, his love of family, and his willingness to lend a helping hand. He was a quiet pillar of strength—steady, compassionate, and always present. Whether offering advice, sharing a joke, or simply listening, he made everyone feel seen and valued. He was an avid guitar player with a heavenly voice, who entertained family, friends, and so many others at impromptu living room singalongs, weddings, family gatherings, and even a few local watering holes on St. Patrick’s Day. His love for and devotion to the Boston Red Sox and the Bowie (now Chesapeake) Bay Sox were unmatched. His loyalty to the Red Sox was finally rewarded with the 2004 World Series title and a subsequent trip to see the team clinch another title in 2013, which was the first time Boston won the World Series at home in 95 years.

Brian was fortunate enough to spend this past year at Spring Arbor of Crofton, where he quickly made dear friends and left an indelible mark on the community. As he told anyone and everyone that would listen, “If you can’t be at home, it is literally the best place to be.” He was incredibly grateful for all of the care, attention, and love he received as well as the friendships formed there.

If you want to honor Brian, go and do a good deed for another person. Make someone else’s life a little easier, as he always tried to do. Then, if you are up for it, play a really good practical joke. When you are laughing at the results, know that Brian’s laughing right alongside you. Practice kindness, integrity, love, humor, and patience in abundance. This is what Brian tried to do every day.

His memory will live on in the hearts of his family, his friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know him. Brian’s legacy is one of love, kindness, quiet dignity, and service—a legacy that will continue through Rudy, Kate, Reilly, Liam, Fiona, Maureen, and all who love him.

We will miss him dearly, but his memory will forever guide us. May he rest in peace.

A wake will be held on Tuesday, December 9, from 3:00–7:00 p.m. at Beall Funeral Home in Bowie, Maryland.

A funeral Mass will follow on Wednesday, December 10, at 11:00 a.m. at Elizabeth Ann Seton Church in Crofton, Maryland.
