Ronald W. Fultz

ABINGTON, Ind. – Ronald W. Fultz, age 63, of Abington, Indiana, died Tuesday, April 6, 2021, at his home surrounded by his family. Born May 27, 1957, in Richmond, Indiana, to Billie Jean Galloway, Ron was a life-long resident of Wayne County, Indiana. He grew up in Centerville, Indiana, and attended school there. Ron worked as a tile setter/bricklayer for more than 40 years and was the owner of Fultz Ceramic Tile. He was known for the quality of his work and attention to detail. Ron bestowed his knowledge and skill to his son, Shane, and later to his son-in-law, Stacey. Together, they spent many years traveling and laying tile for the International Union of Bricklayers #18, of which Ron was a member. One of his favorite pastimes when traveling to Indianapolis, Indiana, or Cincinnati, Ohio, was pointing out the places where he had installed tile. Ron was a Christian and member of the Unity of Holiness Church in Connersville, Indiana. He had memorized a lot of scripture and enjoyed listening to Christian music with his wife, Teresa. Ron and Teresa, along with their family, spent many summers in Michigan, and many memories were made on Lake Michigan. In his later years, he became Teresa’s caretaker, when she became debilitated from a major stroke. Ron loved spending time with his grandkids, specifically his grandsons, with whom he shared a love of hunting, especially coon hunting, and fishing. They always had fun competing to see who could catch the most fish. Ron also enjoyed gardening and took great pride in helping to provide for others. Although he could be difficult one moment, he could quickly turn around and make you laugh. Our hearts are broken, but knowing that Ron is with Jesus, rejoicing and free of pain, brings us comfort. Survivors include his wife of 46 years, Teresa Eggers Fultz; children, Rachele (Stacey) Severance of Hagerstown, Indiana, Shane Fultz (Jessica Conners) of Richmond, and Jessica Fultz of Brownsville, Indiana; nine grandchildren, Wyatt (Ashton), Grace, Cain, Emma, Ethan, Lilly, Kennedy, Marley, and Presley, who brought him his greatest joy; great-grandson, Sawyer, who he loved dearly; siblings, Kenneth Fultz Jr., Debbie Hilton, Kathy Fultz, and Bobby (Candy) Fultz; nieces; nephews; cousins; and many friends, including Mark and Randall Jordan. He was preceded in death by his mother; sister, Etta Jean Fultz; brothers, Geoffrey Galloway and Greg Fultz; and uncle, Don Fultz, who was like a father to him. Visitation for Ronald W. Fultz will be from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Saturday, April 10, 2021, at Mills Funeral Home, 405 East Main Street, Centerville. Funeral service will follow at 4:00 p.m. Saturday, April 10, 2021, at Mills Funeral Home with his brother, Robert Fultz, officiating. Burial will be in Abington Cemetery.
