Paul Eugene Fulton, 70, of Des Moines, Iowa, passed away peacefully on October 23, 2025, surrounded by family.

Paul was the kindest, most loving husband, father, and grandfather. He always put family first and was there for everyone who needed him. His warmth, humor, and steady presence touched the lives of all who knew him.

Born in Fridley, Minnesota, and raised in Minneapolis, Paul moved to Iowa after marrying the love of his life, Jane, where they built a beautiful life together. He spent most of his life working in warehousing, where he was known for his reliability, hard work, and dedication. Outside of work, Paul enjoyed camping, fishing, collecting all sorts of knickknacks, and watching classic cowboy shows. Above all, his greatest happiness came from spending time with his wife, son, and beloved granddaughter.

Paul is survived by his wife, Jane Fulton; his son, John (JP) Fulton, and daughter-in-law, Elizabeth Fulton; his granddaughter, Cora Fulton; his sister, Susan (Fulton) Hartman; and his brothers, Robert Fulton and Chuck Fulton. He was preceded in death by his parents, Eugene and MarryEllen (LaQua) Fulton.

Paul's memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him most - his family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to share in his kindness and laughter. He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
