Obituary published on Legacy.com by Chestnut Funeral Home - Gainesville on Mar. 27, 2026.
Mr. Lawrence Kenneth Fuller, age 66, transitioned on March 21, 2026, in Gainesville, FL.

Lawrence Fuller was born on December 26, 1959 in Gainesville, FL, to Joe Fuller and Emma Fuller. He graduated from Gainesville High School and went on to earn a degree from FAMU. He started his career as an ESS Para-Professional Assistant and went on to work for many years.

Lawrence Fuller, affectionately known as "Coach" and "the well-rounded guy," was a man who truly valued life's simple blessings. He found joy in spending time with his family and friends, always bringing warmth, laughter, and guidance to those around him. A devoted fan of the Florida Gators football team, he rarely missed a chance to cheer them on. Known for his humble spirit and genuine heart, Lawrence was deeply loved by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Memorable moments and achievements: He enjoyed the simple things good conversations, being surrounded by loved ones, and cheering on his favorite team, the Florida Gators. Game days were special, full of excitement, pride, and togetherness.

Lawrence had a way of making people feel seen and valued. He showed up, he listened, and he cared deeply. From family gatherings to everyday check-ins, he made sure the people he loved knew it.

He is preceded in death by his father, Joe Fuller.

Lawrence is survived by his mother, Emma Fuller; daughter, Tracy Fuller of Gainesville, FL; granddaughters, Samontia Bivens and Araya Sunshine Webb; sister, Lori Fuller-Graham; brothers, Joe Fuller, Jerome Fuller, and Greg Fuller; other relatives and friends.
