Brothers, John Wesley Faircloth, James Lester Faircloth, Dewey Rudon Faircloth, Roy Edger “Sonny” Faircloth, and Abe Marcus “Buddy” Faircloth. Sister Onnie Ruth Sikes.

Craig II (Michelle), Lisa Friedrich( Kelly), Michael Joseph Faircloth II (Christina), Hunter Chance Faircloth, and Harrison Cole Faircloth (Cordelia), and eight great grandchildren.
