Charles N. Faulk of Moundville, AL, died peacefully at the
age of 92 on July 21, 2026, surrounded by his loving family and
following a brief illness.
Born on July 8, 1934, in Selma, Alabama, Charles lived a life defined
by kindness, integrity, and devotion to those he loved. He was
gifted with a dry wit, amazing artistic ability and an abounding, yet
quiet, generosity. He graduated from Parrish High School and later
from Auburn University, where he obtained a degree in Zoology.
He also attended the University of Alabama and served honorably
as a medic in the US Army in Germany.
He was raised on a farm, which contributed to his love for
biology/zoology and led him in a career of teaching and wastewater
management. He was devoted to all things outdoors, especially fish,
reptiles, and insects. An avid fisherman, one of his favorite pastimes
was buying, collecting, and selling unique lures.
After military service, he was married to Barbara Allen and they
had 3 well-loved daughters. In 1996, Charles married Debra Boley
Lightsey. Together, in Moundville, Alabama, they shared 30 years of
love and devotion to hobbies and family. His homes were always
filled with wonder, love, and laughter.
He is preceded in death by his mother and father, John Smith Faulk,
Jr. and Anne Blythe Kirkland Faulk, of Selma, and his beloved sister,
Anne Elizabeth Kelly.
