Sean Morgan Fuller, 31 of St. Louis, MO passed away on Sunday December 22nd, 2024, at home surrounded by his devoted wife and loving family after a courageous 2 and 1/2 year battle with brain cancer.
Sean was born on October 22, 1993, to Jeffrey and Victoria Fuller. Sean has always been driven and passionate. After earning a Bachelor’s degree in Sports Management from Southeast Missouri State University in May 2016, he set his sights on a career in Frisco, Texas, where he joined FC Dallas Soccer Club in 2017. Not long after relocating, he was joined by Christa Lenau, his partner and future wife. By 2019, he proposed, and the couple wed in 2021. Over the course of seven years at FC Dallas, Sean’s dedication and hard work led to several promotions, starting as a Member Services Representative and ultimately advancing to Premium Services Manager. Sean’s personable nature and professionalism allowed him to forge countless meaningful relationships with colleagues and clients alike. He was deeply loved and appreciated by his clients for his unwavering commitment to excellence, ensuring their experiences were nothing short of extraordinary. His ability to connect with others not only made him a trusted leader but also a cherished friend to many within the organization.
Throughout his life, Sean collected an array of talents, skills, and friendships that reflected his vibrant spirit. In his younger years, he enjoyed playing soccer, baseball, and video games. As a devoted Premier League fan, Sean passionately supported Chelsea, standing by his team through every triumph and challenge. One of his favorite traditions was attending the annual family reunion at the Lake of the Ozarks, where he cherished the chance to connect with loved ones. Travel remained a constant source of joy for Sean, even during difficult times. He appreciated the opportunity to explore the world, driven by a desire to try new things, especially new foods. While on the go, you’d never catch Sean in silence. Whether listening to rap, yacht rock, or anything in between, he could recite every lyric- his music taste truly knew no bounds. Sean loved to travel, but he also knew how to kick back and relax. He’d spend hours watching movies and videos that always made him smile. No matter what the activity was, Sean found comfort in quality time with both his friends and family.
Sean’s infectious smile, sense of humor and knack for creating the most unique nicknames made him beloved by everyone who knew him. Sean’s loving, joyful personality and sharp wit will be deeply missed, as he was truly a pillar of love and laughter for so many. A devoted son, brother, husband, uncle, and friend, Sean cherished every relationship in his life, finding his greatest joy in the connections he nurtured with others. Above all, Sean’s positivity and warmth left an unforgettable mark on everyone fortunate enough to know him.
Despite facing immense challenges, he remained a faithful Christian, steadfast in his trust in the Lord. Sean’s prayers and unwavering faith not only provided him with the strength to endure but also gave him the comfort he needed in every moment. His family takes solace in the belief that Sean has found eternal peace in Paradise and looks forward to the day they will be reunited with him. His legacy of love, faith, and joy will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him.

I am truly so sorry for your loss. Sean was truly the most genuine person. He was a beautiful soul and kind to all. My heart aches for you during this time. I will always remember all the memories and laughs we shared. May God send you peace and comfort during this time.
Christa,
Thank you for the updates and I am so sorry to hear about Sean’s passing. You both were such fighters through this challenging time. It sounds like he was surrounded by such a great support system over the last few years. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you both. Sending you and your family prayers for comfort and peace.
Me and Sean were Re-Founding Fathers for our fraternity in College. Sean had a great passion for life and the people around him. I’ve had the pleasure to have many conversations with Sean and he never failed to display an incredible interest in life and many different topics relating to those around him.
The interesting nicknames he would give to others never failed to start up conversations and they are still being used to this day. He’s one of the good ones who would always go out of his way to make others feel welcome. Rest in Peace Sean.
Diann and I are so sorry for your loss. Something that you never think you will have to deal with. All of us, your rugby brothers, feel your loss. Being sorry doesn’t seem to cover it.
Christa and the Fuller and Lenau Family, Cassie and I are saddened by Seans passing but are so glad for the love you showed each other. We know his suffering is over, but has left a large hole in many lives.
We pray the happy stories and memories of Sean flood your lives these next few days and months.
With Love, Doug and Cassie
