Donald Gray Fallin

God called to His Heavenly Home , Donald Gray “Moe” Fallin, 69, of Salisbury on Thursday, February 24, 2011 at his residence. He was born on August 13, 1941 in Danville, VA; and was the son of the late Ernest Fallin and Algi Freeman Fallin. Donald grew up in Mt. Airy NC and was employed for Pike Electric Company for over 30 years. Through his work, he transferred and made his home in Salisbury in the early 1960’s. Salisbury was a place he loved and raised his family until his death. Don was a member of Kannapolis West A Church of God and the Visions Sunday School Class. He was very involved in the Young at Heart group at the church and also served as an elder for several years. Donald was preceded in death by his parents and two siblings; his sister, Treva Fallin Beck and her husband Frank; and his brother, Robert “Bobby” Fallin. Those left to cherish his memory include his beloved and loving wife of 49 years, Judy Hensley Fallin; 2 sons, Gray Fallin and his wife Amanda; Todd Fallin and his wife Teresa; mother-in-law Mary Sykes Hensley; 4 grandchildren, Sean, Greer, Ruby and Eli; a niece, Frankie Hatley and her husband Dean of Mt. Airy NC, and their daughters Camille Ellis and Mandy Bazemore of Charlotte NC; brother-in-law Floyd Hensley and his wife Lou-Ann of Monroe NC; and sister-in-law Louise Fallin of Conover, NC. Donald was known for his big heart and caring for his fellow man. He was always a fair-minded man who valued honor, honesty, hard-work and loyalty. He loved to garden and to fish—especially off the pier in Avon, NC. He very much enjoyed life and his friends. But most importantly, he loved his savior, Jesus Christ. A Celebration Service will be held at Kannapolis West A Street Church of God, 2211 West A Street, Kannapolis NC 28081 on Sunday at 5 pm (Feb. 27) with the Rev. Sam Crisp, officiating. The family will receive friends from 4-5 pm Sunday at the church. A private burial will be held at Rowan Memorial Park the following day. The Fallin Family would like to sincerely thank all of those who have assisted and cared for Donald so compassionately, especially Beverly Garrison and Dodi Turner of Home Health Professionals, and Brenda Chambers and Diane Cox of Rowan Regional Hospice Care. We are also extremely grateful for longtime family friends and relatives, who loved Donald and prayed for him throughout his sickness.
