He was a Master Mason of Crawford Lodge No. 585. Jimmy worked for Heart of Texas Electrical Cooperative for 35 years and retired in 2017. He also owned and operated Fulp Contracting Company for many years and enjoyed the dirt-work life on his tractor. Jimmy never met a stranger and could strike up conversation with anyone and often did. He was happiest fishing the lakes of Texas with Robinson Bass Club, dove and deer hunting, competitive skeet shooting, watching NASCAR races, shooting the breeze outside with his lifelong friends, and enjoyed time with his dogs, Bandit and Sadie. Jimmy was so proud of his children and particularly loved his role of "Grandpa" to his grandchildren. He loved his wife, children, and grandchildren more than anything in the world. He leaves behind many delightful memories with family and friends. Jimmy was preceded in death by his parents. Survivors include his wife, Karen Fulp; son, Justin Fulp and wife, Kimberly, of Crawford; daughter, Lauren Bolton and husband, Scott, of Bullard, Texas; grandchildren, Jacob and Emily Fulp, and Mason and Callum Bolton; brother, Larry Fulp and wife, Janice, of Burleson, Texas; mother-in-law, Evelyn Haught of Mount Calm, Texas; and many nieces and nephews, and close family friends. Pallbearers will be Russell Campbell, Jason Duncan, Trey Holdbrook, Justin May, Steven Richter, and Mike Slayton.
