Paul was born in Tallahassee, Florida on January 31, 1968. He obtained his GED through Wakulla High School in Medart, Florida and lived in the area until he moved to Clearwater about 13 years ago. Paul can best be described as a person who never met a stranger. He thoroughly loved life, his friends and family. If you ever wanted to find him, you would only have to stand on the boat ramp until he came in from fishing. And, if you ever wanted to fish or just go out on the water, you only had to say the word and he would drop everything to accommodate.
Paul is survived by his father and mother, William Carl Gallups, Sr. And Holly Cornwell Gallups of Panacea, Florida; his 2 sisters, Beth Gallups and Brenda Walburn and her husband Dennis Walburn; his brother William Carl Gallups, Jr., and his wife Pamela Gallups, and other extended family, as well as, his 2 “adopted” sisters, Ila Gray and Julie Lizak.
The family of John Paul Gallups wishes to thank the doctors and nurses at Morton Plant Hospital of Clearwater, Florida and the Suncoast Hospice Mid Pinellas Woodside of Pinellas Park, Florida.
In lieu of flowers please send donations to Suncoast Hospice Mid Pinellas Woodside.
