In Memory
We honor the memory of those who served with the Mountaineer Area Rescue Group with dedication, skill, and compassion. Their contributions continue to shape our team and inspire our mission. Though they are no longer with us, their legacy lives on in every call we answer.
Lee Fuell (620)
Lee was a pillar of the Mountaineer Area Rescue Group (MARG) and the Appalachian Search and Rescue Conference (ASRC) for more than a decade, serving with tireless dedication and steady leadership. He held several roles on MARG’s board over the years—including President and, most recently, Secretary—always guiding with integrity and a deep commitment to our mission.
One of Lee’s most impactful legacies was his work to strengthen the relationship between EMS and MARG’s field operations. His vision and persistence were key to establishing our mutual aid agreement with Mon EMS, advancing the integration of high-quality care in wilderness rescue settings.
Lee also played a critical role in training and equipping both MARG and the broader ASRC. He led EMR courses, spearheaded successful grant applications that enhanced our gear and training programs, and consistently pushed us to deliver the best possible patient care.
Lee is survived by his wife and fellow MARG member, Patty Lindsay, and their beloved K9 partner, Maggie. His passing is a tremendous loss to our team, our region, and all who had the privilege of serving alongside him.
