Kip Allen Fulton, known to his friends and family simply as Kip, was born on May 14, 1964, in Vincennes, Indiana and passed away on January 10, 2024. Kip was an extraordinary player on this stage of life, well-loved for his vibrant personality, his technological acumen, and his passion for music.
Kip was employed in the IT Department at Toyota -Boshoku where he was not only appreciated for his technical expertise but also for his social nature. He had a unique way of simplifying complex computer concepts for his colleagues, making him a favorite in the workplace. Outside of work, Kip was a self-proclaimed computer geek, but his interests extended well beyond the digital world. He was a lover of music, often found strumming his guitar, filling any room with melodies that resonated with his emotions. His friends would tell you, “Kip’s guitar was an extension of his soul, every note he played, a word in the story of his life.”
Kip is survived by his significant other, Clinella Estabrook, his uncle, Dave Reed, cousins Glen Denney and Erin, Richard Reed, Debbie and Chandra Jarrell, Tim, Rose and Stacey Jarrell, Cindy and Tim Coleman, Norma and Chuck Holmes, Tiffany and Tony Puller, as well as other extended family and friends. He is preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Juanita Sue Fulton, his grandparents, aunts, uncles and extended family. Kip’s life, though it ended sooner than we would have liked, was a testament to a man who lived fully, loved deeply, and played beautifully.
Kip’s visitation will be held on Thursday, January 25, 2024, at 11:00 am EST at Goodwin-Sievers Funeral Home located at 524 Broadway Street, Vincennes, Indiana, 47591.
