Loy Fairclough Jr., beloved husband, father, son, brother and friend, died on March 21, 2021, surrounded by his family, after a three-month health battle, at the age of 48.
Loy was born on June 19, 1972, in Brooklyn, NY, and grew up in the community of Mount Vernon, NY. He graduated from Mount Vernon High School, and later studied ceramic engineering from Penn State University, where in 1992 he met his wife, Jennifer Farrington, with whom he spent the remainder of his life.
Loy worked as a club promoter and daytrader, but his favorite role was caring for Margeaux, his beloved 6-year-old daughter who he shared with his wife
Jennifer.
Loy will perhaps be best remembered for his intelligence, his “larger than life” personality, his sense of fun and excitement, and for being the center of every party he attended. He also loved spending time outside in the fresh air and taking walks and bike rides in his beloved home community of Greenwich, CT, but the joy of his life was caring for his daughter, Margeaux. Loy was preceded in death by grandparents Satyra Lindsay, Constantine Fairclough, Daphne King-Darby, and Lorenzo Frankson.
He is survived by his wife, Jennifer, their daughter Margeaux; parents Loleta and Loy “Jack” Fairclough Sr.; brother Donovan “DV” Fairclough; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
The family will receive friends at Fred D. Knapp & Sons Funeral Home at 267
Greenwich Ave., Greenwich on Wednesday, March 31, from 4-8 p.m. A funeral service will take place at Christ Church Greenwich at 254 E. Putnam Avenue, Greenwich on Thursday, April 1, at 2 p.m.
A college fund has been established for Loy and Jennifer’s daughter, Margeaux, who is just 6 years old. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to make contributions can send checks made payable to Jennifer Farrington to: Christopher Schumacher, TSG Advice Partners, 349 West Nationwide Boulevard, Columbus, OH 43215-2311.
