Jason Michael Fulop, 51, of Chesterfield, passed away on Saturday, April 26, 2025. He was preceded in death by his parents, Alex and MaryAnne (Yurechko) Fulop. He is survived by his wife and soulmate of nearly 28 years, Kara Norment Fulop; children, Abigail “Abby” (24) and her fiancé, John Davis, Carter (21), Julianna “Jules” (16), and Brooks (11); and brother, Alex J Fulop and his wife, Carol, and sons Brandon and Brian.

Jason was born July 19, 1973 in McKeesport, PA and was a graduate of HS Elizabeth Forward class of 1991. He earned his BS in Mechanical Engineering from Va Tech 1995, going on to become a Licensed Professional Engineer (PE). Jason dedicated 30 years to his career in HVAC Commercial design and sales. He was known as the Professor by his peers at Hoffman & Hoffman and as the Skipper on his beloved FatBoys adult soccer league team. He will be remembered as being funny for his perfectly timed, mic drop, dry humor moments. He enjoyed avid soccer playing, coaching, refereeing and being a loyal fan. Jason loved his Jeep, Pearl Jam, Jeopardy, and a competitive poker game, but loved his family beyond measure.

He was loving, honorable, brilliant, stoic, loyal, family centered, often saying, “I keep my cards close to my vest”. He was the creator of “Daddy School” and the “Fulop Language”. He was incredibly family-centered and “he was the best dad ever”.

Jason fought colon cancer from July 2022 to May 2023,but learned of its confirmed return April 2024. It had tragicly metastasized to Stage 4. He endured numerous surgeries – always with a brave face and stoic strength. Jason fought courageously until his last moments, where he was able to pass peacefully in his home with his family.

His family wishes to express special thank yous to Drs. John Mertesky, Leopoldo Fernandez, Gabe McCoy, and Thomas Weart; RN Taylor S at VCU, and RNs Jen and Ashley with Suncrest Hospice.

Quote: “He whom we loved and lost is no longer where he once was. He is now wherever we are”.

We will know you are with us in the breeze and in the rain. Stay near us Daddy and guide us through the rest of our days. We will miss you beyond words and strive to make you proud.

A celebration of his life will be held on July 19, 2025, at a soccer field TBD. Please save the date and look for more details. Join us in celebrating the man, the Professor, the Skipper, the love of our lives.

Please keep the Fulop children in your prayers as they begin to navigate their lives without their anchor.
