Millard Fuller, Founder of Habitat for Humanity, Dies at Age 74 By Brennen Jensen
Millard Fuller, founder and former long-time leader of Habitat for
Humanity International, the house-building charity, died early Tuesday
morning. He was 74. Since 2005 Mr. Fuller has lead the Fuller Center
for Housing, a housing charity he launched in Americus, Ga., following
a somewhat contentious departure from Habitat for Humanity.
The cause of death is not known and an autopsy is to be performed today.
“He
got a pretty severe chest cold a couple of weeks ago and couldn’t shake
it,” says Holly Chapman, the Fuller Center’s vice president of
communications and development “He took a turn for the worse last night
and died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.”
