WEST LIBERTY – Steven Scot Fairchild, 66 of West Liberty, passed away suddenly on Saturday, March 22, 2025 at his residence.

Steve was born Aug. 24, 1958 in Bellefontaine to the late Charles Oliver and Mary Hortense (Gaver) Fairchild. On Feb. 4, 1978, he married Doris McMillen, who preceded him in death on June 30, 1985.

Steve is also preceded in death by his siblings, Patty (Fairchild) Long, David D. Fairchild, Linda (Fairchild) Clark and John C. Fairchild.
