Carl Raymond Fairley of Deltona, FL passed away peacefully on November 4th, 2025, at the age of 91. Carl was born on April 2nd, 1934, in Baltimore, MD to Albert Fairley and Anna Petit.

Carl began his distinguished military career in the United States Navy in 1958 at the age of 24. Over the course of more than three decades of service, he rose to the rank of Naval Commander. He served two tours in Vietnam and one in Korea aboard the USS Canberra before retiring with honor.

In 1960, Carl married Marilyn Soucy. Together they shared 56 devoted years of marriage until her passing in 2016. In 1972, they settled in Central Florida, where they raised their daughter Paige.
