Memorial

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Douglas Alan Fuller, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, who left us on October 28, 2025, at the age of 73. Born on March 30, 1952, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Doug was a joyful person and a source of love and laughter to all who knew him.

Doug was the son of Robert Adkins and Norma Jean (Schaefer) Fuller and grew up in Cedar Rapids, where he attended Jefferson High School. After completing his education, he proudly served in the United States Air Force, a testament to his commitment to his country and his dedication to service. 

Doug married Karla on June 6, 1998, at Olivet Presbyterian Church, beginning a journey together that would be filled with love, laughter, and many cherished memories for 39 years. Doug is survived by his loving wife, daughter Tiffany (Jimmy) Beasley, son Teague Fuller, and stepson Joshua (Wendi) Barnes. Doug was a proud grandfather to Keely Beasley, Dace Beasley, Kaden Barnes, and Karson Barnes, who brought immense joy and light into his life. He leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter that will be remembered by his wife, children, grandchildren, and brother Dave (Robin) Fuller.

He is preceded in death by his parents, son John Fuller, and sister Cinda Lu Fisher. 

For 40 years, Doug dedicated his professional life to Aaron Scale Systems, Inc., where he worked as an Electrical Engineer. His passion for his work was matched only by his love for life. Doug was known for his infectious humor, wit, and ability to light up a room. He was truly the life of the party, always ready with a joke or a story that would make everyone laugh. 

Doug had a love for motorcycles, having gone to Sturgis Bike Rally 12 times with his closest friends.  He also enjoyed dancing, particularly swing dancing to rock and roll music. He was a big fan of classic rock’n’roll, especially Bob Seger. A true lover of food, Doug loved taco pizza, French silk pies, and anything else put in front of him. His home was the gathering place for friends and family, where he hosted lively New Year's Eve parties filled with laughter and good times over many beers.

Doug was never one to judge and embraced life with open arms and the wind in his full head of hair. He loved his family deeply, forging bonds that will last a lifetime. He had a unique ability to connect with others, no matter their background, and was always there to lend a hand or offer support.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Doug's life on October 31, 2025. The visitation and funeral service will be held at 11:00 AM at Cedar Memorial Chapel of Memories State Room. Burial to follow the conclusion of the service. 

 In lieu of flowers, the family encourages donations to the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) to honor his service to the nation. For those who wish to contribute, please visit (https://www.dav.org ).

Doug’s family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to St. Luke's Hospice for their compassionate care during his final days. He will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who knew him.
