Gerald Paul Fuller
May 28, 1953 – November 17, 2022
Gerald (Gerry) P. Fuller (69) of Denver, Colo., passed away on November 17, 2022, due to complications from leukemia. Gerry was born in Brockton, Mass., on May 28, 1953, to Robert and Geraldine Fuller. He married his longtime love, Donna Sepp, on September 14, 1996, who preceded him in death in 2020.
Gerry decided early in life to pursue a career in the military and law enforcement. He joined the U.S. Army immediately after high school graduation and served as a member of the U.S. Army Military Police Corps in Germany from 1971 to 1979. Following his military service, Gerry began his civilian career and joined the Denver Police Department, where he graduated second in his academy class in 1980.
Gerry faithfully served the Denver Police Department for 37 years, receiving several promotions including to Lead Field Training Officer, Corporal, and eventually to Sergeant, as well as numerous Life Saving Awards. Gerry loved training the next generation of police officers and was often commended for his patience and leadership. After nearly four decades, he retired from DPD in July 2017.
After retirement, Gerry took on an unexpected role, caring for Donna throughout her battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. He was a steadfast and loving caretaker for Donna until her passing on December 11, 2020.
Gerry is survived by his sister, Marie (Fuller) McCall, his older brother Robert (Bob), and his younger brother Dennis; stepsons Andrew and Timothy and their wives Lauren and Stacey, respectively; and his beloved grandchildren Madilynn (23), Annabelle (20), Kai (12), and Leighton (8) who affectionately called him “Boppa.” He is also survived by many nieces and nephews. Gerry is preceded into death by his father, Robert, his mother, Geraldine, and his beloved wife Donna.
The family plans to honor Gerry with a memorial service at Southeast Christian Church at 9650 Jordan Rd. in Parker, Colo. on Feb. 17, 2023, at 10 a.m. In lieu of flowers, Gerry’s memory may be honored with a contribution to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society – Rocky Mountain Department or the Alzheimer’s Association of Colorado.

I had the pleasure of working with Gerry for many years in the old District 2. Gerry was supposed to be in my class in 1979 and I don't remember whether it was a late notification to him that kicked him into the first class of 1980 or what, but I did get the honor of working with him after he graduated. He was always a very calm, quiet, and a gentleman at all times. Nothing got under his skin and he treated everyone as nicely as possible, cops, victims, and suspects alike. We truly lost just a plain good man with his passing. He will be missed, and remembered by many, I'm sure.
I served with Gerry in the Denver Police Department. He was a good policeman and a fine man…I am saddened to hear of his passing. Prayers and condolences to the family. May he rest in peace…
I worked with Jerry when District 6 was in it's infancy. Jerry was a great officer and roll model. I will be grateful for his friendship and council for the rest of my life. To his family and friends I wish for you peace and comfort as Jerry lived a good and productive life serving and protecting his community. Jerry will be greatly missed by everyone who knew and worked with him.
I was stationed with Jerry in Germany, 230th. MP Co. He was my partner on my first shift as an MP. He was among a great group of people in that company. He is the reason I came to the Denver Police. We kept in-touch and he let me know Denver was hiring. We never worked together in DPD, but I always knew he was there. Be at peace.
I worked for Sgt Fuller at District 2 and will always remember his quiet but confident presence and his sense of humor! He was a great Sergeant and quietly mentored those who worked for and around him. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends on the loss of a great man. Rest in Peace Sergeant Fuller!
Sgt. Gerry Fuller was a Mentor and a Leader. I enjoyed working for him in District Two. He was a hands on supervisor and a cops cop. His leadership, experience and humor has been sorely missed. Rest well Sir.
Sgt. Fuller was the ultimate law enforcement supervisor. Gerry was always there to calm the storm and ensure that his flock was taken care of! We miss his dry sense of humor.
