Charles Nathaniel Faulk (July 8th, 1934 – July 21st, 2026)

Charles N. Faulk of Moundville, Alabama, 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 U.S. Army in Germany.

He was raised on a farm, which contributed to his love for biology and zoology and led him to 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 three 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.

Left to cherish his memory are his devoted wife, Debra Annette Faulk; daughters Blythe (Gary) Christensen, Lynne (Jeff) Cannon and Mary Carol (Sam) Roberts, and their mother, Barbara Allen Faulk; his stepdaughter, Pamela (Scott) Blake; grandchildren Jeffery (Jaime) Cannon, Lindsey (Jason) Killough, James Christensen, Anna (Cory) Christensen, Haley (Daniel) Wright, Clay (Katie) Smith, Matthew (Carlie) Blake and Nathan (Sierra) Blake; 14 great-grandchildren; and a host of cousins, nieces and nephews.

A memorial service is scheduled for Wednesday, July 29, at 2:00 p.m. at the columbarium at Alabama National Cemetery in Montevallo, Alabama, with visitation and lunch at noon at The Branch at Mission Hills in Alabaster, Alabama.

Honorary pallbearers are Pat Kelly, Kirk Hawley, Gregg Bennett, Duck Ware, Sol Tepper and Judge Dickie Norton.

His family wishes to especially thank Aspire Physical Recovery Center of West Alabama and Hospice of West Alabama. Their kindness and compassion brought special comfort and peace to family members.
