Donald Dewey Faulks, Jr.

  Donald Dewey Faulks, Jr., age 82, passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 7, 2024. Born on August 13, 1942, in Fort Worth, Texas, to Donald Fulks and Mildred (Stanley) Faulks, Donald was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle, and friend.

  Donald worked as a welder, painter, construction, and fabricator, but he was known for much more than his profession. A true Renaissance man, he had a gift for fixing anything—often creating his own tools, including a one-handed spark plug changer, to get the job done. If Donald couldn’t repair it, it simply couldn’t be fixed. He enjoyed watching the gospel of David Jeremiah daily. He loved cars, motorcycles, and was deeply devoted to animals, especially his beloved cats and his family of raccoons and possums. His gentle nature extended to all creatures; he wouldn’t even harm a wasp. 

  Donald was preceded in death by his brother, Ray, and his nephew, Aaron.

  He is survived by his wife, Pamela Sue Allen of Hurst, Texas; his son, Michael Allen; his daughter, Stephanie Allen; grandchildren, Sara, Ethan, Skylar, and Rylan Allen; great-granddaughter, Katherine Rose Allen; and his brothers, Wayne and Michael Faulks. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews. 

  Family and friends are invited to honor Donald’s memory at a graveside service on Monday, November 11, 2024, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., at Central Cemetery, located at 4290 Old Agnes Road, in Weatherford, Texas.

  Donald’s legacy is one of compassion, friendship, and ingenuity. His gentle spirit and kindness will be deeply missed by those who knew him, and his impact on the lives he touched will never be forgotten.

  The family wishes to thank Birchwood of Richland Hills nursing home and Freedom Hospice for the care he received. Also, thank you Chaplain Don Anderson for the visits which he enjoyed.
