I was just telling my Daughter about Jimmy and how he was as a person. My brother and I both worked for Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and knew jimmy personally, Words cannot express what kind of man he was. After 31 years I found myself tearing up while telling my daughter about Jimmy and what happened to him. SIP Brother..

Growing up as the daughter of two Florida Ag Law Enforcement Officers, I have many times thought about the danger my parents put themselves in to serve the public. My parents could easily search a truck or personal vehicle and have a tragic event like the one that took Trooper Fulford from his family and friends. I am blessed to still have both of my parents, but my heart hurts for the families that lose a family member in the line of duty.
I am blessed to have received the James H. Fulford Memorial Scholarship at North Florida College for this Summer Semester. While I did not know much about Trooper Fulford before today, my parents remember when he was killed and my dad remembered a lot about the accident as it stood out to him. There are many people that knew him and it was so nice to be able to read what an amazing man and Trooper he was. I am so honored to receive this scholarship in honor of Trooper Fulford. This scholarship is very helpful to fund my education to become a Registered Nurse and I will remember Trooper Fulford as I move forward in my life and career.

Thank you Trooper Fulford for making the ultimate sacrifice. You will be remembered for your service and your dedication to serving the public.

I am a survivor of the bomb that took his life. The bomb was meant for my mother. Everyday I’m grateful. Mr. Jimmy is my hero!

Jimmy Fulford was my husband's closest friend on the Patrol. The day that Jimmy died changed lives forever. I can still close my eyes and see his sweet face and hear him say, "How are you doin' Mama?" (Jimmy's nickname for me) This make me smile because we were the same age. But he was aware that being a mom was the most important thing to me. Jimmy was always there fore his friends and for those who were not as fortunate. His wife would share how she would have to go to the ATM to get money for someone that Jimmy had encountered on the highway who might need gas or food. And Jimmy always seemed to have a smile. We love Jimmy and his family and he left an unbelievable mark on our hearts, forever.

Ladies and Gentlemen: This is my third post on this website for my good friend Trooper Jimmy Fulford. I wanted to wait some time and reflect after the execution of his killer. I feel some anger that the life of this good man was taken away from his family and his friends (I was a latter) -- but I find solice in God's eternal life and the fact that I believe that this fine man James Herbert Fulford is there (now, as long as I knew him, he NEVER told me that his middle name was HERBERT, but, truth be told, I never told him that MY middle name was BARRY !!!!) His aspirations in college was to be a Florida State Trooper and he succeeded. He wanted to help folks and he succeeded. He wanted to be the friend you could count on and he EXCEEDED. Now comes the hard part: By profession I fight death and promote health, BUT I support the death penalty for this simple reason: Human Life is precious. IF we as society allow the bad guys without a death penalty, to kill our law enforcers, then what good are laws or life or safety?

Jimmy,,,, I wish to see you again in Heaven,, and to have another Hamburger & Fries like we did at Hillcreast Dairy Bar --- Hey,, easy up on that ketchup and pass it over to me !!!

Thank you Trooper Fulford for your service and actions that saved other lives. Truly a hero was taken so quickly that day with such a senseless act.
It is a shame that it could take so long to finally get justice from that coward that took your life.
I pray that the family may find some comfort knowing that the appeals are over and the State has finally done their job.

Jimmy Fulford was the president of our 53rd recruit class. From the first day of the Academy, until the day he went home to be with his Savior, Jimmy was known to us as a man who loved God, a man you could trust completely, and a man who loved the Florida Highway patrol, and who entered law enforcement to help people. At the Academy, I remember Jimmy as being a quiet and friendly person, mostly, but he demonstrated a demeanor that just wanted to make you be around him. I can still see him climbing that rope up to the ceiling of the gym, at 5:30AM, using only his hands to make the trip to the top. He was very strong, even though he wasn't a large man, and he kept himself in incredible physical shape. Jimmy's photo could have been used as a recruiting poster for the Florida Highway Patrol. I shall never forget February 01, 1992, when I received a call from the duty officer, telling me that Jimmy had been killed. I was already on my way to Tallahassee for a school, and I had to drive by the crime scene. I was devastated by what I saw. Jimmy, you set an example of how a Christian law enforcement officer should conduct himself. Your life, in itself, was a testimony and a witness for Christ. Losing you was a tragedy for all of us; however, as a Christian, I look forward to the day when I shall meet up with you again. Thank you, again, for your service, and for the love you displayed as a child of God.

Seven years ago or so, I posted a note in reflection of my FRIEND (and YOURS), Trooper Jimmy Fulford --- as 2014 unfolds, I again think of him as I watch things in this country evolve. I think back to the many lunches we had in college (North Fl Jr College in Madison) at the Hillcrest Dairy Bar (hamburger, fries and coke were $1.50) He had adapted a gun rack in the back seat of his Ford Fairlane !!
Folks, I can tell you one thing about Jimmy --- he did NOT go into law enforcement for a power trip or to arrest people --just the opposite, he wanted to HELP people and he DID. I want his family and everyone to know that spending this time and remembering him have made my heart feel good, he was one of the good ones --- Hey Jimmy --- Pass the Ketchup !!!!!!!
