Dan Fairly .. You are not forgotten or diminished by your tragic death. Your legacy lives on through your beautiful family, and all who knew and loved you .. And still love the memory of who you were to all of us. Heartfelt prayers continue for your family. "I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak His praises .. Let all who are discouraged .. Take heart. Come - let us tell of the Lord's greatness and let us exalt His name together." Psa 34

I have only positive thoughts of Judge, Dan Fairly. He helped our family members tremendously during a situation that was difficult, but necessary. When we had no strength, he was the hands of a decision we were on the fence about. May you rise and rest in piece, Judge. You're work for our family was most successful.
Prayers to the family and friends of the man whom I respect and will never forget.

As one of many attorneys who appeared before Judge Fairly over the past five or so years, I butted heads with him on many of my cases and did not always understand or agree with his rulings.
But I always respected him and respected his decisions and I believe he tried to be the best judge he could be. The legal profession is in deep mourning over losing you, Judge Fairly. We will never forget you. May you rest in peace, and may peace be with your precious family.

I met Dan in 2008 under stressful family circumstances. He put my heart at rest with his direct & honest words of wisdom, renewing my faith in the justice system. His love & belief in the Lord were obvious. Rankin County is a better place thru Dan's work there. Unfortunately, he is gone too soon. I will never forget what he did for my family. I expressed my appreciation the few times our paths crossed, either with a handshake or just a nod & a smile. The Fairly family will be forever in my prayers!

I will always remeber the summer afternoons on the pitchers mound in the Fairly's backyard. My father had just passed away and the entire family was a solid influence on me in those years. Dan had a great fastball! I was sad to read about Dan's passing, but happy to read about his faith in our Savior and I know that he is with him now! My prayers are with all of you!

We considered Dan a great friend. We visited on several occasions at our home, both with and without some of your family. We always knew he loved his family and his Lord deeply. We always enjoyed sharing our border collie stories and hearing from him how much he adored both the dogs he adopted from us. Please know that we are praying for all of you.

Dan and I first met at the Jackson Police academy in March of 1975. Along with others we were hired as Police cadets and spent two weeks in the academy before they turned us loose upon the public of Jackson. That was 40 years ago this last March 10, 2015. Dan was a true friend and provided Christian guidance for me in my life when I needed help. I will forever be grateful. Ricky Davis
