Don Fulp

Don Fulp passed away Sunday, February 19, 2012, with his family by his side at Rex Healthcare. Don was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in 2010, which contributed to the heart attack he suffered the previous Thursday.

Don was a Wake Forest University class of 1977 graduate, an avid runner and fisherman, dedicated and loving family man and accomplished youth soccer coach. He touched the lives of hundreds of children over his 20 years of coaching, instilling in them the values of hard work and persistence. Over the years, his teams won countless tournament titles, including 5 North Carolina State Championships.
