Thomas J. Fuller IV, 70; a retired Navy Veteran and electronics engineer for Washington University & BJC passed away at home Friday morning (Sept. 26, 2025). He was a man who could make you laugh even on your worst day. Known for his razor-sharp wit and sense of humor, Thomas had a gift for turning ordinary moments into unforgettable stories. If there was a joke to be made, he would find it—often leaving everyone around him laughing.
His humor wasn’t just about being funny—it was about connection. He had a way of making people feel seen, easing heavy moments with just the right words, and reminding everyone that life, no matter how hard, always had room for laughter. Behind every laugh he gave was a heart full of kindness and love.
He cared for his family, and friends that were like family that were always there to help when needed.
