MIDLAND CITY…Jefferson C. “Chase” Faircloth, a resident of Midland City, died late Friday evening, June 6, 2025, in Oakview Manor. He was 27.

Chase was born on March 31, 1998, and spent his entire life in Dale County, a place that always felt like home to him. He grew up surrounded by family, friends, and a community that shaped him into the incredible person he became. From an early age, Chase had a bright mind and a kind heart, always eager to learn and help others. He began his education at Newton Elementary School, continued through Southdale Middle School, and later attended Dale County High School. His dedication to his studies was evident—he was an “A” Honor Roll student every step of the way, pushing himself to excel in everything he did. His passion for learning led him to dual enrollment at Wallace College, where he pursued his dream of becoming a nurse. He wanted to make a difference, to care for others in their most vulnerable moments, and he worked hard to turn that vision into reality. In 2014 Chase had a medical accident that cut his childhood short and ultimately placed him in the nursing home.
Outside of academics, Chase had a full and vibrant life. He had a deep love for baseball and spent many seasons playing in Newton, finding joy in the sport, the teamwork, and the friendships he built along the way. He was also a devoted fan of Alabama Football, never missing an opportunity to cheer on the Crimson Tide. And like so many his age, Chase enjoyed unwinding with his Xbox, talking with his friends online, diving into games that let him relax and have fun.
More than anything, Chase was a person who brought warmth, laughter, and kindness to those around him. His impact on his community and the lives of the people who loved him will always be remembered.

Thomas Gerald Griffin, a cherished father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on June 6, 2025, at the age of 93 in Dothan, Alabama. Born on November 16, 1931, in Washington, DC, Thomas was a man of exceptional character, known for his courage, friendliness, and loving nature.
Raised in the heart of Coffee County, Thomas grew up at Danley’s Cross Roads near Elba, where he formed the foundation of his strong values and work ethic. He attended Curtis Junior High School and later graduated from Elba High School. Furthering his education, Thomas attended Troy State Teacher’s College, where he honed his leadership skills and prepared for a life of service.
Thomas dedicated a significant portion of his life to his country through a distinguished career in the United States Air Force. As a Vietnam War veteran, he exhibited bravery and commitment that earned him the respect and admiration of his peers. His service to the nation was a testament to his patriotism and courage. Upon retiring from the Air Force, Thomas chose to settle in Olympia, Washington, where he enjoyed many happy years.
In Olympia, Thomas was not only known for his military service but also for his amiable personality and his ability to form lasting friendships. He was a beacon of love and strength to his family, and his guidance was a cornerstone in their lives. Two and a half years prior to his passing, Thomas moved to Dothan, Alabama, to be closer to his loved ones, making the most of his time with them.
Thomas leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion. He is survived by his daughter, Yvonne Jaremko and her husband Roman, his granddaughter, Ruby Christie and her husband Tom, his brothers, Floyd and Jerry Griffin, his sister, Sue King, and his nieces and nephews, Floyd Griffin, Kathy Griffin, and Amy Griffin.

Thomas was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Jeanette Griffin, his parents, Eugene Cleo Griffin and Elsie Cauley Griffin, and his brother, Harvey Griffin. The love and memories shared with his wife, Jeanette, will remain a source of comfort and inspiration to all who knew them.
In honoring Thomas’s life, it is impossible to overlook the words that best describe him: courageous, friendly, and loving. These qualities were evident in every aspect of his life, from his military service to his unwavering support of his family. Thomas will be laid to rest next to his beloved wife in Olympia, Washington, where together they will continue to watch over their family.
Thomas Gerald Griffin’s life story is one of honor, dedication, and love. As we remember him, we are reminded of the impact one individual can have on the lives of many. His legacy will continue to inspire and guide us. Thomas’s life was a journey of purpose and passion, and though he has departed from this world, his spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
