Keith Fullerton, here pictured with his wife Viola, died suddenly Sunday evening, just after their moving from Surrey, British Columbia to Norquay, Saskatchewan December 30.A Facebook note this morning from Andy Sebanc, senior pastor at Surrey, indicates that they are creating a weblink to the Memorial Service Friday at 2:00 p.m. in Norquay. Though absent in person, many will want to be attending via the Green Timbers weblink in Surrey, details of which are posted at: http://www.facebook.com/n/?event.php&eid=237301333100&mid=1ae1ea4G4ca85d82Gbcf956G7.
The Fullerton family, not unlike the Petersons, Ericsons, Wendell Andersons, Josephsons, and so many others before them are legend in Canada and the broader Covenant. Their devoted ministries and spirit have perpetuated Covenant life, thought, and spirit in places all over the denomination, and we are in great debt to each of them.
Keith was a unique leader among us, at local church, conference-wide, and denominational levels throughout his considerable lifetime in ministry. What drew me espacially to him was a certain sense of reserve, an intuition that there was always more to him than appeared in any given moment, waiting in the wings to further bless and resource you . Gentle and thoughtful in presenting himself, he was no less firm in his convictions for all that, and fiercely loyal to our family of faith.
May God bless and hallow his memory among us, and may he give special comfort to his grieving wife and family in the sure knowledge that we will see and be with him again. May he also surround them with our love and the prayers rising now from the many to whom they have minsitered in Christ's name.
