FAIRCHILD

Fred A. Fairchild, age 75, of London, passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.

Born on July 12, 1951, in Mutual, Fred was a son of Lancy R.C. Fairchild and Eura Mae (VanHoose) Fairchild. Fred was a true jack of all trades – a man who possessed the rare grit and determination that meant if he set his mind to a task, it was as good as done.

Over the years, he contributed his talents across several local employers including the former Purex, then Fisher Cast Steel in West Jefferson, Ohio, and later working in maintenance for Dan Hatfield Chrysler Dodge Jeep. Fred also proudly served his country as a corporal in the Army National Guard.

His natural gift for mechanics shone brightest whenever he was working on cars and trucks; if it had an engine, he was sure to be able to fix it, tune it, or make it run better than before.

Fred leaves behind a lasting legacy through his son, Frederick Todd Fairchild in addition to several other family members and numerous friends. He was preceded in death by his parents Lancy and Eura, and his beloved wife Vivian in 2021.

A graveside service will be announced in the near future and will take place at Kirkwood Cemetery in London, Ohio.
