Jason Wayne Fairchild was born on January 9, 1961, and passed away on Thursday, September 19th at the age of 63.

Jason moved to his beloved Shreveport, Louisiana, with his parents at 8 years old. He attended Jesuit High School where he found a passion for chemistry. This led him to earn a BA in chemistry at LSU Shreveport where he made lifelong friends from his Kappa Alpha Fraternity.

Jason found great success in the oil and gas industry of Caddo Parish as a chemical engineer. Fairchild could walk down a store aisle and assemble the chemical ingredients of off-the-shelf products for everyday usage, without blinking once. In his spare time, Jason rebuilt and restored cars and boats, shot skeet as a marksman, became an avid gun collector, and enjoyed boating immensely.

Affable and easygoing, tall and towering, Jason Fairchild never met a stranger and greatly enjoyed the fellowship of the many who knew him. He will be remembered and live on in the hearts of his colleagues, family, and friends that his life touched.

Jason is preceded in death by his parents, Bettie Lee Marable and Wayne Tate Fairchild.

Jason is survived by his former wife, Rindy Dyer Fairchild of Tappahannock, VA.; son, Sgt. Christian Dyer Fairchild USMC; first cousins, Hansford and Delores Fairchild, Dan and Bill Tyler, wives, Christy Fairchild, Adele and Cindy Tyler, and his very best friend, Gary Vinson.

The memorial service honoring Jason’s life will be held at 1:00 p.m., Saturday, October 5, 2024, at Osborn Funeral Home with the visitation beginning at noon.

In lieu of flowers, consider a donation in his honor to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

God bless Jason Fairchild.
