Derek Fullarton

It is with great sadness that, after a lengthy illness, we announce the passing of Derek Rolfe Fullarton on Sunday, November 27, 2016 at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. He was 66. Derek is survived by his loving wife, Claudia (Colter) Fullarton , his sons Michael (Sue), Peter (Carey) and Greg (Anne); grandchildren, Jacob, Ben, Hayden, Morgan, Dylan, Lily and Colter, his brother, Laurie (Elsie) and brothers and sisters-in-law Lee (Wendy), Elaine , and George (Helen).
Derek was predeceased by his parents Ralph (Snap) and Ruby (McLaggan) Fullarton, his brother Osbourne and brother-in-law, David Colter.
Derek is lovingly remembered as a supportive coach of his three boys’ many sports teams as they grew up; always cheering them on and involved. His largest source of pride was his wife, boys and their growing families. Derek’s favourite times were with Claudia, his family, or friends during the warm months at the family cottage.
He will be sorrowfully missed by us all.
In lieu of services, visitation will take place at Ward Funeral Home, 109 Reynolds Street, Oakville, on Thursday, December 1st between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Alzheimer’s Society would be appreciated.
