Lorne Monteith Fulton passed away peacefully on Monday, November 4, 2025, at the age of 88 in Cranbrook, BC.

Born on November 17, 1936, in Kimberley, BC, to Jim and Monty Fulton, Lorne spent his entire working career with Cominco in Kimberley, where he was a dedicated and respected member of the team. He was an active member of the Mine Rescue program, both as a competitor and later as a coach. Lorne met and married his wife Eelin in 1965, and together they welcomed their son Jamie in 1971.

Lorne’s true passion lay in the great outdoors of the East Kootenay region he called home. An avid outdoorsman, he found joy in fishing, hunting, and camping throughout the beautiful landscapes of southeastern British Columbia. His love for nature extended beyond personal enjoyment—he was a committed volunteer with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and an active member of the St. Mary’s Fly Fishers, sharing his knowledge and passion with fellow outdoor enthusiasts.

Lorne was predeceased by his parents, his sister Sheila, and his beloved wife Eelin. He is lovingly remembered and survived by his son Jamie (Nicole) and his two granddaughters, Mackenzie and Breelin, of whom he was immensely proud. The family is also grateful for the special friendship and companionship Margo and her family brought to Lorne’s life.

The family extends special thanks to Dr. Van Zyl and the staff at Kootenay Street Village for their wonderful care and compassion.

A celebration of life will be held in the spring of 2026. Details will be announced at a later date.
