Karl Eugene Pullins Sr.

WOODSTOCK – Karl Eugene Pullins Sr., 85 of Woodstock, passed away on Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2025 in his residence.

Karl was born on Nov. 29, 1939 in London, Ohio, to the late Raymond Edward and Mary Jane (Bailey) Pullins.

Karl proudly served his country in the U.S. Army before spending many years on the road as an over-the-road truck driver. He loved the freedom of the open highway and took great pride in his work. When he wasn't driving, Karl could often be found in the garage working on old cars and trucks. Restoring them to their former glory was one of his favorite pastimes. He had a big heart for animals, especially dogs, and they were never far from his side.

The family would like to give a special thank you to his great-nieces, Sandra Bargy Mcvey and Miranda Mcvey, for the love and care they gave Uncle Karl and Aunt June.

Karl is survived by his loving wife, June Carol (Beeksma) Pullins; grandchildren, Dustin Bryan, Dustin Pullins, David Bryan, Barbara, Jesse Bryan; great-grandchildren, Iona Bryan, Gabriel Howard; brother, George William Pullins; as well as several nieces and nephews.

Karl is preceded in death by his parents; daughter, Julie Ann Pullins Rose; sons, Karl Eugene Pullins Jr., Michael Raymond Pullins; brothers, Robert Pullins, Jerry Pullins, Paul Pullins.

A gathering of family and friends will be held from noon-1 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 27, 2025 in FRESHWATER, MCDONALD & VERNON Funeral Home, North Lewisburg, Ohio.

Funeral service will follow at 1 p.m. in the funeral home with Pastor Ed Beeson officiating.

Burial will follow in Woodstock Cemetery, Woodstock, Ohio, where military honors will be provided by the United States Army and the Mechanicsburg American Legion Post 238 firing squad.
