Mr. Eddy Arnold Fulton, age 61, of Franklin, TN passed away June 22, 2014. Ed Fulton was a "Renaissance Man" - he had a variety of highly developed skills and a broad base of knowledge. He was a photographer, painter, mechanic, gardener, historian (specializing in history - Egyptian era, World War II, Civil War, and the Titanic), electrician, plumber, avid reader (mountain men, African safari, finance, politics and technical golf/gun/archery manuals), gunsmith, hunter, archer, skeet/trap shooter, fisherman, swimmer, golfer and expert pistol instructor. But above all these expert skills and abilities, the things he was most proud of were: Being honest - His word was his bond. Highest level of work ethic - Never missing a day of school and only one day of work in 34 years. During his battle with cancer, had his own handyman business for a year and then worked as the Facilities Manager at GracePointe Church for 15 months. He also served as a Lay Pastor at the church. He loved his children and grandchildren - one of his greatest joys as a father was to raise two special boys into two special Christ-loving men. They now have wonderful families that have also followed his lead and are Christ centered. He loved his wife Donna - Married for almost 43 years, she was a true helpmate and soulmate with his journey, never leaving his side. And finally, his Love of Christ Jesus - From a very early age, he grew up in the church.
