Joshua Fabian Fuller

Joshua Fabian Fuller, 41, passed away unexpectedly on June 23, 2025, at his residence in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Born on March 27, 1984, in Mishawaka, Indiana, Joshua was the beloved son of Fabian and Pamela (Becker) Fuller, who survive. He is also survived by his twin siblings, Nathaniel (Lola) Fuller and Amy (Corey) Dill; his nephews, Brady and Dylan Fuller, Carter and Cole Dill; his aunts, Olga Arellano and Melissa (Kurt) Francis; his cousins, Emma and Kira Francis; and his uncle, Joby Becker, as well as many close friends who cherished him deeply. Josh graduated from Riley High School in 2002 and earned a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology from Purdue Polytechnic South Bend in 2020. Though proud of his education, some of the most cherished years of his life were spent working at Hacienda Mexican Restaurant at Erskine Village. It was there that he made many lifelong friends and created memories full of laughter, camaraderie, and joy.

Josh had a knack for bringing people together. From pool games at Moondogs Pub to poker nights in garages and apartments, Guitar Hero and Halo marathons, or watching Spartacus with full commentary, he made everyday moments unforgettable. He also had a strong passion for fitness and encouraged his friends and family to pursue physical health, always cheering others on with sincerity and hope.

Josh was real, sarcastic, unfiltered, and deeply loving. His humor was sharp, his opinions strong, and his loyalty unwavering. He could come off as brash to strangers, but to those who truly knew him, he was a protector, a giver, and a steadfast friend.

In his final years, Josh found strength and purpose through his renewed faith in Jesus Christ. He turned to The Vineyard Church in South Bend for support during his struggles, and the community there offered him connection, hope, and encouragement.

Josh's life was layered and complex, full of laughter, fierce love, unforgettable friendships, and the quiet courage of a man who never stopped seeking connection, meaning, and truth. Rest easy, Josh. You are free now. You were deeply loved, and you will never be forgotten.
