======================================================

A father's legacy is not riches, possessions, or worldly goods of any kind. It 
is the way he lived, the lives he touched, the promises he kept. It is the kind
of man he was. He leaves behind an example for others to always be kind and 
caring, the way people "should be," as he would say.

Gregg graduated from Teague High School in 1980. He majored in geology at Sam
Houston State University. He served as production manager and geologist for 
Fulton Oil & Gas Company, located in Marshall, Texas, for the last 10 years. 
He was the co-founder of the Fulton-Forgotson Petit Oil Field in Smith County,
Texas, from which 400,000 barrels of crude oil has been produced to date. He
was also instrumental in expanding the family production in the Overton Cotton
Valley Gas Field in Smith County, as well as the Henderson Southwest and 
Minden Cotton Valley Gas Fields in Rusk County.

Before moving to east Texas to work with his father, Gregg worked for 
Envirotest in Houston. Gregg's passions were family and golf. His latest 
endeavors included helping his father design a 15-acre lake, as well as a six-
hole golf course for his children on family land. Gregg loved being out on his
grandfather's land hunting and fishing and just spending time with his Grandad
Knight.

He is survived by his wife of 15-1/2 years, Jennifer; their children, Shane and
Brooke, 14, and Joey, 9; his mother, Lynda Benton, of Teague; father, Ken 
Fulton and step-mother, Carolyn, of Marshall; sister, Terri Collins, of Teague;
grandparents, Kimble and Robbie Knight, of Teague; father and mother-in-law, 
Joe and Patsy Eddleman, of Baytown, Texas; and numerous nieces, nephews, aunts
and uncles.

Cause of death: Kidney cancer.
