Earl Faison Obituary

He was a great man and my best man at my wedding and my daughter God father Latoya and Jerome cooper our daughter jasanna porter-cooper we miss him so much.my he rest in peace.thank u for everything.love and miss you

Hope u find lots of jackpots in heaven.

I remember this gentle giant from high school and then he married my oldest friend Barbara Marshall. He was the nicest person, soft spoken and tall!!!

This 51 year old husband and dad kept putting off writing to Mr Faison, for years, so as not to bother him. I grew up watching and rewatching him on one of my favorite episodes of The Six Million Dollar Man and Kolchak; The Night Stalker. As someone with depression, prayer and good, old fashioned entertainment (which Mt Faison provided to so many of us who never got to meet him) have meant a great deal to me, my whole life. And so I pray for Mr Faison, and thank him for the entertainment he provided me, over and over again for 40 years. And, I pray for his family. Someday, God will reunite you with Earl Faison, and it will be as if no time had passed. God Bless.

I knew Faison at IU. All of the comments , gentleman, caring, football great, kind, fun , great laugh, and most of all a good friend That' the FAISON I knew. Dear God, May he rest in peace.

Condolences

I met Earl in 1962 when I was in the Navy attending Allison General Motor's Engine School in Indainapolis. He was working on his Teaching Credintial at IU during his off season from the Chargers. He was so nice to me! He even loaned me his car for a date! Imagine our surprise years later when we met through Ernie BarnesI and I reminded him of where and when we met! I was so proud he invited me to the Chargers reunion. I love Big Earl. Bill Withers

I had the honor of working with Earl when I was Principal at University High School.. in San Diego California.. and he was assigned as our Vice Principal.Not only was Earl an outstanding role model ..but he was an inspiration to so many young adults. He motivated then to set their personal goals at a high level..which he himself exemplified..in his own life. I will cherish those memories made ..and extend prayers to his family and friends. Just know.. Earl made a difference for so many students..and was a winner on and off the field of life..Fondly, Anne Tracy Bolton and Michael Bolton

Earl was a neighbor when I lived in San Diego. He was a quiet humble man who cared for others. When my wife underwent breast cancer surgery, Earl came to the hospital and spent time with me. Rest in peace number 86 - you were one class act.,

May the Peace of Christ be with the family during this time. Earl was a great man and a friend to those who knew him. He will be sorely missed.

Earl was a gentle giant, always very respectful. Hadn't see him for years, but alway remembered him. My condolences to his family. May he rest in Peace.

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your love one.

To the Faison family --

My deepest and sincere condolences - may you find peace and comfort!

Earl Faison was a very thoughtful person. Both my kids had the pleasure of knowing him while they attended UC High School in LaJolla where he was the Vice Principal. He was a kind, unselfish individual and always looked out for the students at UC. My son suffered an injury while running in a track meet one afternoon after school. Mr. Faison was there and made sure we got him to the hospital. He was so considerate in that he came all the way to the Naval Hospital to see how my son was doing before and after his surgery. He was happy to see my son join the USMC after high school and wished him well.

Very humble man - he will be truly missed by all.

I am visiting my son in Maryland and if there is a memorial service in his home of Virginia, we would like to be there to honor his life and legacy. Rest in peace Earl Faison!

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

There was a youthful pride in learning about the athletic feats of Earl Faison, upon entering the very high school (Huntington) that he had graduated from, a little more than a decade earlier.

And then, years later, to be at an art gallery in Maryland, where his former San Diego Charger teammate, and now esteemed artist, Ernie Barnes whose having a show . . . "Mr. Barnes, I'm from Earl Faison's hometown." And he pleasantly voiced: "You're from Newport . . . "

I extend heartfelt condolences to the Faison family.

To the Family & Friends of Earl Faison:



Although Earl Faison was best known for the excitement, thrills, and awe he gave to football fans through his outstanding play on the gridiron – his friends and teammates called him “Tree" for his stalwart defense – he was also a gracious and thoughtful gentleman.



In the 1960s when I was a student at MIT and the San Diego Chargers came to New England to play the "Boston Patriots," for several years Earl would contact me in advance. Prior to game day, we would tour Boston and Cambridge before and after dinner. On game day, he would introduce me to several of his teammates and provide space for me on the Chargers' bus as it transported the team from their hotel and drove through the gates into Fenway Park, where the games were played during those years. Thus, through Earl's kindness and friendship, as a college student I was able to observe gratis and up close the fledgling AFL.



After Earl's retirement – initially in San Diego and then to Arizona – I lost touch with him. With the assistance of Cynthia Davis and Barbara Marshall Faison, my communication with him was reestablished. Although he and I chatted on the telephone, permitting me to express my appreciation to him for his generosity to me during his football career, we never got together again. Nonetheless, I further kept in touch by sending him postcards during my travels around the world.



We are all once again reminded of the brevity of our Earthbound existence.



You and Earl are in my thoughts.
