Mr. Brian Michael Fulmer

January 19, 1968 - November 2, 2023

In Loving Memory of Brian Michael Fulmer

Brian Michael Fulmer, 55, departed this world on November 2, 2023, leaving behind a legacy of unwavering determination and love. He was born on January 19, 1968, in Wilmington, DE, to his devoted parents, William Fulmer, Jr. and Sandra Baker (nee, Fiordalis). Brian was the beloved husband of Joanne Fulmer.

From the very beginning, Brian’s life was marked by an entrepreneurial spirit that set him on a path of remarkable achievement. He was naturally competitive in all aspects of his life, consistently fighting for what he believed in and defending his principles with a resounding voice. From a young age, Brian had an entrepreneurial spirit which led him to establish three businesses: a Medical Equipment Repair Business, a Website Development Business, and the founding of ROLLU.com, an innovative online matchmaking website and service built with family and friends that matched prospective students with select private schools. He was a self-taught software developer and spent a good part of his career at ISM – Independent School Management in Wilmington, DE. During his tenure there, he created an online Financial Aid Product, which he managed with dedication and expertise. Later, he joined Free Rate Update, where he played a crucial role in supporting a major Lending Services Referral Platform.

Beyond his professional achievements, Brian had a passion for video gaming, whiskey tasting, and poker with his buddies. He cherished time and traditions with family, going all out with his Halloween and Christmas decorations always in an effort to make others happy, which in turn brought him great joy. His love for tools was well-known, even if he didn’t always put them to use, but it did give him an excuse to spend cherished time with his brother. He always tried to find humor in thingsand loved nothing more than play-wrestling and joking around with his kids and nieces when they were younger.

In the face of his battle with prostate cancer, Brian exhibited extraordinary courage and determination, much like he did with every challenge in his life. He did everything in his power to extend his time with his beloved family and minimize their pain, demonstrating remarkable bravery and selflessness throughout his journey. Brian’s memory will forever be etched in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing and loving him.

He is survived by his loving wife, Joanne Fulmer, his mother, Sandra Baker, his father, William Fulmer, Jr., his step-mother, Ruth Fulmer and his brother, Michael Fulmer. He also leaves behind three children whom he adored: Kate Fulmer, Sam Nardo, and Grace Nardo, as well as a cherished grandson, Lucian “Lucky” Fulmer.

In accordance with Brian’s wishes, all services will be private.

Brian’s strength, love, and determination will continue to inspire all who knew him. His memory will forever shine as a beacon of courage and resilience.

We will remember Brian/Uncle Brian/Tickle Monster with a huge grin on his face and a young Grace climbing on his shoulders! We're forever grateful for his commitment to Jo, Sam and Grace who he held so close, and the way he embraced the wider family with his kindness and warmth. He has gone way too soon and we will miss him very much. Love to Jo, Sam, Grace, Kate, Lucky and all of the Fulmer family xxxx

As I sit here trying to write something that captures Brian and his memory in a nutshell I realize too quickly that it is impossible to do. I met Brian in 2003. One of my first memories of Brian was listening to him brag about Kate with some co-workers. It was clear that he was a family man and very loving father. I didn’t really know him at the time but it didn’t take long before he and I were working together and sharing stories of our families. Mine the not so traditional type. Having said that, Brian was never judgmental and accepted me into his life and family, embracing my wierdness, and celebrating our differences. I’m not sure if you know this but Brian can be subtly stubborn and opinionated :) But those opinions we had and debates that they sparked as a result, laid the foundation for a friendship that spanned 20 yrs. 20 yrs. this past June. Yep, fighting and making up, fighting and making up. LOL. Over the years while Brian and I were growing and trying to find our selves, we became best friends. Heck, at times it felt like we owned a moving company. Him moving to one apartment or another and me doing to same. LOL. Through it all we had a blast. Nothing could ever bring us down or break us. We just wouldn’t allow it. He there for me and me for him. We were ride or die and connected even when we were apart. That’s how best friends are. I could literally write a book on what it means to be a best friend, a son, a father, a grand father, a husband, and amazing person and use Brian as a role model to tell the story. I miss you so much already. I’m thankful you’re finally at peace and hope to see you again someday -Scott

Brian was fun to be around. I have fond memories of poker games and Super Bowl parties. Brian never had “half” a conviction, which made for many entertaining moments - a worthy mind for both playful and competitive sparring. Not everyone agreed with Brian on every point, but all respected him and loved him. My heart hurts and tears are welling in my eyes as I write this. I will miss you, my long time and cherished friend.

I am so sorry for your loss. Brian was a wonderful person and he will truly be missed.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I am so sad to have lost my cousin, especially at such a young age. I have so many memories of all the great times we spend together. Going to the beach every year, coming to Ohio and building tents in the backyard. Who can forget the countless trips to Nicola's for Nic-a-boli's! Brian was a great cousin, son, father, husband, grandfather and will be greatly missed.

Jo, to have found real love and have it snatched away again is cruel beyond words and our hearts ache for you. We were honoured and privileged to have Brian for a son in law and for him to call us Mum and Dad. We will remember him with love always. Sam and Grace, you have lost a wonderful stepdad, he loved you as his own, cherish his memory. Sending you hugs. Bill, Mike, Kate and all the Fulmers, our thoughts are with you on the loss of this kind , generous and gentle man, we send our love to you all

Jo, Kate, Sam, Grace and family: No words can express my sorrow for your loss. Brian was an amazing person and his smile will forever be etched in my mind. Hoping fond memories will bring some comfort in the days, months and years that follow!♥️

To the a Fulmer Family, please accept my sincere condolences. Brian was such an amazing person. One thing I really admired about Brian was that he called it like it is. If h er was speaking on a topic he had studied it. If he had an opinion he had thought it through and could back it up with fact! He was competitive and hard to beat. You would never to bet against Brian in horseshoes or poker. Trust me! He was a sports enthusiast. Brian loved his family. I witnessed a relationship with his brother Michael and his dad Bill that you will seldom fine. They were so close. Brian would always great you with his pleasant smile. Brian showed his love with his smile.. I loved his authentic self. He will truly missed Patrick

Goodbye Brian we will miss you always. We will remember you and your smile. It doesn't seem fair that god took you so young. We are glad that you have no more pain and suffering. Rest in peace in god's arm to comfort you. I love you Brian, Aunt Connie

Thank you for sharing his life in this wonderful tribute. Sending all our love from our family ❤️

We were all so sorry to hear about Brian's passing. I will always remember how kind he was when he took Johanna and I to see the Phillies, which was our first time watching baseball. Brian was so pleased by how Johanna loved watching the game that he gave her his Phillies shirt, which she wore for many years until she grew out of it. I n fact, we still have the ticket from that game. All our love to the whole family, Ben, Heather and family

Sending peace and love.
