Rob was born in Miami, FL, on June 10, 1969, and departed this earthly life on August 12, 2025. He is the son of Robert W. Fulton, Sr., and the late Mary Ann McDaniel Fulton. Rob was a graduate of Greenville High School and attended Midlands Technical College. He worked for many years at Anchor Continental and in later years at Rhythmlink where he was the Quality Control Manager. In recent years, he began painting using his artistic gifts. Rob was an avid Gamecock fan. His greatest joy was the time he spent fishing on Lake Murray. It gave him a lot of peace and comfort whether he went by himself or fished with friends.

Survivors include his father, Robert W. Fulton, Sr., (Jamie); daughter, Alyssa Fulton Clamp (John); son, Zak T. Fulton; brother, Benjamin M. Fulton (Crystal); grandson, Easton Parker Clamp; sister-in-law, Kimberly Gray; and brother-in-law, Trey Rogers; and special family pets, Ace, Champ, and Amber. He was preceded in death by his wife, Melissa Ann Fulton, and his mother, Mary Ann McDaniel Fulton.
