November 27, 1961 ~ December 5, 2020
Born in: Owensboro, KY
Resided in:
Owensboro, KY
Eric Wayne Fulkerson, 59 of Owensboro, passed away December 5, 2020 at Owensboro Health Regional Hospital. He was born November 27, 1961 in Owensboro; the son of Preston and Barbara Vowels Fulkerson.
Eric enjoyed golfing and hunting, though he wasn’t good at one of those, said his son. Which one, we won’t say. He was an avid University of Kentucky sports fan. Eric loved his children and was absolutely crazy about his wife, Lisa. They were introduced by Lisa’s brother. Eric walked in to her house with his long, swooping hair and camouflage shirt. From that moment on, he always stated he knew he was going to marry her. Anyone who knew Eric will remember his rather colorful language; a sign of his quick wit and intelligence.
Eric was preceded in death by his grandparents, FK and Nora Fulkerson, and his mother-in-law, Catherine Blandford.
Left to honor Eric’s memory are his loving wife of 34 years, Lisa Kay Blandford Fulkerson, his children, Ryan Andrew and his fiancé, Lindsey Schroeder; Jesse Wayne; and Travis Cole (Henley) Fulkerson, one granddaughter, Monroe Belle, his parents, Preston and Barbara Vowels Fulkerson, his siblings, Michael Fulkerson; Kathy Criswell (Jim); Kevin Fulkerson (Debbie King); and Perry Fulkerson (Fran).

I remember one morning before school Eric brought a live chicken to the house. He took it to school and let it loose in the girls locker room. Eric told me once that April fools day was his favorite holiday. No one was safe on that day. I was blessed to have had him in my life. I will miss him. I love you Eric and give mom a kiss and a hug for me.

Eric was a fine man. I am honored to have known him.
He was a good man and husband. He will be missed. All my prayers.
Eric was such a funny & wonderful guy, a loving husband, father, grandfather & cousin. He will be greatly missed by so many.
I will greatly miss you so much each and every day going forward. From your silliness and passion that you had to make others happy, laugh, feel loved and cry with laughter is a lasting impact you had on so many people.
It was only 3 weeks ago that you filled my heart with such joy sitting at the kitchen table at mom and dads house. My side still hurts from all the laughs you gave me that day and I will never forget that last quality day you and I spent together.
Your were a brother, a best friend, a supporter, a role model, a brother that I admired and adored, a gentleman and a loving husband and father.
I know you already have the heavens smiling and roaring with laughter!
Until we meet again big brother, Rest In Peace!!
