Phillip “Fud” McCulloch

Phillip “Fud” McCulloch, born on September 30, 1944, in Levelland, Texas, went to be with our Lord on May 23, 2025, at the age of 80.

A devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, Fud is survived by his devoted wife of 57 years, Linda; his son Jeremy McCulloch of Lubbock, Texas, and wife Casee, along with their three children who adored their grandfather: Hanna, Kutter, and McKenzie; and his daughter Julie Wittie of Lubbock, TX, and husband Matt, with their three children who also dearly loved him: Tyler, Raegan, and Aubry. He is also survived by his brother Ronald McCulloch.

He was preceded in death by his father, Paul McCulloch, and his mother, Hazel McCulloch.

Fud lived a life rooted in hard work, family, and faith. He dedicated his career to farming and served as a trusted farm equipment dealer and later as a sales representative for Smith South Plains. His integrity and commitment left a lasting mark on the agricultural community he loved.

He found joy in the simple pleasures- spending time on the water with a fishing pole in hand, a passion he lovingly passed down to his children and grandchildren. An enthusiastic sports fan, Fud cheered faithfully- sometimes through frustration- for the Dallas Cowboys, Texas Rangers, and Texas Tech Red Raiders in both football and basketball.

Fud’s legacy is one of love, laughter, and loyalty. His strong hands built a life of purpose, and his gentle heart nurtured the family that now carries his spirit forward.

A gathering of friends and family will take place on Friday, June 6, 2025, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at Lake Ridge Chapel and Memorial Designers.

In lieu of flowers, the family encourages you to take a loved one fishing or cheer on your favorite team in his honor.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
