David Fawcett Obituary
LIMA -- David L. Fawcett, 78, of Lima passed away at 7:43 PM on Monday, May 5, 2025, at St. Rita's Medical Center.
He was born on May 9, 1946, in Kenton and was adopted by Merrill and Marie (Harris) Fawcett, who both preceded him in death. On June 22, 1968, he married Mary Lou Jackson, who survives in Lima.

RIP dear friend and fellow officer at the Sheriffs Office. Dave was an amazing person and always smiling doing a job that required much patience and understanding. I never heard him complain.
Mary Lou, Sherry, Diana and grandchildren I´m so sorry for your loss and will be keeping Dave and all of you in my prayers. Most Sincerely, Carol Dotson

I am going to miss him saying my name and telling me he loves me. I was a handful of a daughter growing up. I was just like my Dad. He was always there for me threw the good and bad. I could always count on him and mom. I always signed his birthday and father day cards as Little Diana. I will miss that smile when he gave when he read that. I love you Dad.

To the Fawcett family, my sympathies for your loss. I worked at the Sheriff's Dept and knew Dave very well and had the greatest respect for him. Even when dealing with the very worst of people he treated them with as much respect as they allowed.
