Republicans strengthen their control of Fauquier County board

By Hunter Savery

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Republican candidates secured a 4-1 majority on the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors Tuesday.

Regan Washer flipped control of the Marshall District seat to expand the Republican majority from three seats to four. Independent candidates ran in four out of five districts, but only Ike Broaddus was able to pull out win to capture the Scott District seat.

In the Marshall District, Republican Regan Washer garnered 3,347 votes compared to independent Mike Focazio’s 2,994, winning by 353 votes according to still unofficial results.

The results were even tighter in the Scott District. Broaddus defeated Republican A.J. Krick by just 27 votes out of 5,746 votes cast.

Scott District represents the only loss for Republicans.

Lee District had the widest margin between its candidates. Republican Daron Culbertson won 2,584 votes compared to independent Garrett Baker’s 996, a difference of 1,588 votes.

Lastly, incumbent Kevin Carter won the three-way race for Center District supervisor with 2,175 votes, fending off challenges from Larry Kovalik, who earned 1,935 votes, and Raeid Ebrahim, who garnered 533 votes.

Eric Gagnon has narrowly defeated Karen Lavarnway to win the special election to represent Ward 5 on the Warrenton Town Council, according to still unofficial results from

the Virginia Department of Elections.

With all but the provisional ballots counted as of about 11 p.m., Gagnon had garnered just 35 more votes than Lavarnway, with 378 of the ballots cast compared to Lavarnway’s 343.

There are just seven provisional ballots left to count, according to Fauquier County Registrar Alex Ables.

Fauquier voters elected two new members and returned three incumbents to the county school Board in Tuesday’s election.

Danielle Dean and Steve Lewis were elected to the Marshall and Lee district seats, respectively, following close contests that weren’t decided until close to midnight due to a delay in counting early ballots.

Dean, a pastor at Bridge Community Church, unseated longtime Marshall District school board representative Duke Bland by a margin of only 45 votes. She had campaigned with Regan Washer, a Republican candidate for the Marshall District’s Board of Supervisors seat, who also won on Tuesday.

Danielle Dean

Dean said she decided to run for school board because of concerns about students’ mental health after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fauquier school bus overturns, injuring 2

No children were on the bus; crash involved a deer, school officials say Staff Reports Two Fauquier County School Division employees were injured in an early morning school bus crash on U.S. 29 in Warrenton involving a deer.

No children were on the bus when the incident occurred, according to the Warrenton Volunteer Fire Company and school division officials.

The school bus flipped and went off the road around 7:15 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 2. One person became trapped when the bus landed on its side and had to be removed by first responders, according to a Warrenton Volunteer Fire Company Facebook post.

The accident occurred in the 8700 block of U.S. 29 near Beach Road. First responders were dispatched at 7:18 a.m.

The crash is believed to have involved a deer, according to Erica Yelland, a school division spokeswoman.

The injured employee was airlifted to a Fairfax hospital for treatment. The second employee was evaluated by medical personnel but refused further treatment, according to the fire company Facebook post.

The Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office is investigating, the fire company said.

Bealeton woman sentenced to 25 years for killing her husband After a day of fighting, Kimberly Dragich ran over Brian Bowles in their driveway

By Hunter Savery

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

A 57-year-old Bealeton woman convicted last August of second-degree murder for running over her husband was sentenced to 25 years in prison in connection with the crime.

During an Oct. 30 court hearing, Judge Stephen Sincavage suspended 13 years of the 25-year sentence, meaning Dragich will likely be behind bars for about 12 years. She was also sentenced to 10 years of pro-

bation, according to Fauquier County Senior Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Charles Peters.

During the trial, neither Kimberly the prosecution Dragich nor the defense disputed that Dragich struck and killed her husband, Brian Bowles, 46, with her white Honda CR-V shortly after 9 p.m. on Aug. 8, 2021. Rather, jurors had to decide whether the act constituted manslaughter or second-degree murder.

The incident took place in the driveway outside the couple’s home on Revere Street in the Mintbrook subdivision following a day of arguing and heavy drinking. The jury was tasked with determining whether Dragich had acted with malice when she made the decision to tap the accelerator.

In Virginia, malice is what separates second-degree murder from voluntary manslaughter. The prosecution needed to prove both intent and malice to secure a second-degree murder conviction in this case.

Dragich had been drinking heavily and fighting with her husband that night, according to court testimony.

The prosecutor pointed to

Second-degree murder can carry a sentence ranging from five to 40 years in prison. A sentence of between 12 years and 9 months to 21 years and 4 months was recommended in the case, according to court documents.

Chris Colvin, president of Protect Catlett, speaks to about 80 residents who gathered Nov. 2 to learn more about possible data centers and new power lines in Catlett.

Residents organize against Catlett data centers More than 80 meet about 5-building complex pitched for Va. 28

By Peter Cary

Piedmont Journalism Foundation.

More than 80 local residents packed a town hall meeting room in Catlett last week to learn more about how data centers would affect their rural community. Sponsored by “Protect Catlett,” a fledgling organization dedicated to fighting the rise of data centers and their powerlines east of Warrenton, the meeting focused on coming transmission projects in particular and the dangers to Northern Virginia from data centers in general.

Like a similar meeting sponsored by the Piedmont Environmental Coalition in Upperville on Oct. 23, the Thursday, Nov. 2 gathering was largely a teach-in about the enormous power needs of data centers and the plans of Dominion Energy and PJM, which operate the grid across 13 states, to supply them.

It came on the heels of an Oct. 31 PJM meeting where a grid expansion committee settled on plans to beef up the transmission trunk lines that run just east of Catlett to send more power to data center alley in Loudoun and Prince William counties.

The project, which must be approved by the PJM board in December, would run a new 36-mile, 500-kilowatt line from Morrisville, east of Remington, past Catlett to Vint Hill and on to Brambleton, a major substation west of Dulles International Airport that serves as a power hub. The project, termed a “wreck and rebuild,” would reconstruct existing towers in the trunk corridor to make space for single-pole towers carrying 500 kilovolt lines.

The project, with its 16 substation upgrades, would cost $953.7 million, which would be paid for by Dominion ratepayers. That cost is exceeded by another set of projects creating a loop around data center alley in Loudoun. It is priced at $1.06 billion.

Other projects are on the horizon for Fauquier, said Julie Bolthouse, land use director for the Piedmont Environmental Council. She said PJM would like to build a 760-kilovolt line from Lynchburg to a new substation in Fauquier sometime in the future and that other lines that cross Fauquier are on the grid operator’s to-do list.

Several people at the meeting said they thought it was outrageous that data centers, which turn a hefty profit, do not have to pay for the transmission lines strung to their front doors.

“They need to make data centers pay for their transmission instead of putting it all on us,” said Paul Conner, who lives near Bealeton. He said it was the second Catlett data center town hall he and his wife Charlotte had attended.

Mike Fultz, president of Protect Fauquier, pointed to an Oct. 25 Dominion Energy legal advertisement in the Fauquier Times. The ad projects that the average bill of a customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours would be $243.20 by 2035, a hike of $127.02 over the 2020 level. That increase represents the burden on ratepayers created by one of the lower-cost plans proposed by Dominion earlier this year to increase power generation to meet soaring data center needs.

Less was said about the elephant in the room, the data center complex proposed for Catlett that is in the process of applying for a rezoning. Slated to be built at Va. 28, or Catlett Road, and Gaskins Lane, preliminary drawings show it with up to five buildings totaling 1.4 million square feet.

The rezoning application for that proposed development, now known as the Catlett Project, drew a 22page letter of comments, suggestions and changes in August from the county planning staff and other local agencies. Moreover, planning chief Adam Shellenberger suggested in the letter that Headwaters, the applicant, put its proposal on hold while Fauquier County creates and adopts a new policy to guide data center development.

Marshall hemp store stays closed after lawsuit fails

Owner says he can’t keep fighting new restrictions on THC in hemp products

By Beth Rasin

Special to the Fauquier Times

A Marshall hemp retailer will remain closed—likely permanently— in the wake of a federal judge’s ruling last week that upholds a Virginia law that store owner Travis Lane says defines hemp products too strictly to allow his shop to stay in business.

Lane’s shop, Northern Virginia Hemp & Agriculture, in Marshall, joined with Frannie’s Farmacy, which has a location in Vint Hill, and Lane’s grandmother, Rose Lane, in a lawsuit challenging a new Virginia law that limits hemp products to an amount of THC that is lower than allowed by federal law. The law, in effect since July 1, prohibits NOVA Hemp and Frannie’s Farmacy from selling about 95% of their hemp products, their lawsuit said.

THC is the intoxicating compound that gets cannabis users high.

U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema ruled against Lane and the other two plaintiffs on Oct. 30, saying Virginia’s new law is in the public interest.

The ruling denied the plaintiff’s request for an injunction that would have prevented state officials from enforcing the law while the lawsuit moves forward.

The state of Virginia “(has) demonstrated that delta-8 THC is a credible threat to the Virginia population,” Brinkema wrote in her opinion.

“There is a strong public interest in protecting the citizens of the commonwealth from substances like delta-8, including a vulnerable population, such as children, from hospitalizations and poisonings.”

The new law is aimed at cracking down on edibles and other products containing delta-8, a hemp-derived marijuana alternative that had become available across Virginia. The law imposes fines for retail outlets that continue to sell products that exceed total THC limits covering both natural and synthetic forms of THC. In the wake of the opinion, Travis Lane released a statement saying he planned to abandon his legal challenge.

“I remain committed to the fight for a safe and regulated cannabis market in Virginia but am unable to continue this appeal,” the statement said. “I hope that bigger industry leaders will step forward to challenge this ruling. The judge seems to have based the decision on an opinion that these cannabinoids can pose a danger to children and public safety, which we never opposed in our argument. I urge our lawmakers to regulate the industry or allow small business hemp companies to enter the medical cannabis market.”

In September, NOVA Hemp closed its doors and laid off its staff.

The store opened in 2019. For now, the Franny’s Farmacy franchise remains open in Vint Hill.

“The franchise is still there, working through this,” said owner Franny Tacy, whose corporation is based in North Carolina. “It is definitely an everyday consideration as to what is best for the business. It’s very hard to keep a business open that is not profitable. When you cut 90% of revenues, that’s something to consider.”

Frannie’s Farmacy continues to sell products like tea, pasta from a hemp flower, a functional mushroom line and “adaptogens” or herbal products.

“We’re pushing these other products because that’s what the future is,” said Tacy.

Under the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, also known as the “Farm Act,” hemp could be legally grown, processed, transported and sold and was distinctly classified as separate from marijuana.

NOVA Hemp opened in 2019 but closed in September in response to a new state law restricting THC levels in hemp products.

The plaintiffs contended a key element of the Farm Act was the definition of hemp according to its delta-9 THC concentration, which the act restricts to no more than .3% concentration. The new Virginia law limits the total THC to not more than .3%, meaning concentration of other variants are also restricted. That vastly limits the products that comply with the standard. The lawsuit contained an exhibit listing nearly 500 products that are legal under federal law and could be legally sold in Virginia prior to July 1 but are now illegal to manufacture, buy, sell, possess or transport in Virginia.

“Although the Farm Act relaxes the federal regulations concerning hemp, it permits states to enact ‘more stringent’ regulations of hemp production than those set out in federal regulations,” Brinkema wrote in her opinion.

Virginia lawmakers who backed the new law said the products, often sold as gummies or oils, appealed to children and resulted in issues with poisoning. The Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association reported 629 pediatric visits to emergency rooms due to ingestion of hemp products in the first quarter of 2023, which would be a 64% increase over 2020 if the trend continued throughout the year.

At the conclusion of this year’s Virginia General Assembly session, Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) said in a statement that he was humbled to see lawmakers work across the aisle to, among other things, “improve our

DATA CENTER, from page 3 The project had originally been scheduled for a planning commission hearing on Sept. 21. On Aug. 31, Headwaters wrote the county requesting a 60-day postponement of that meeting so it could work on its responses to the planners’ critique. On Monday Headwaters co-founder Mike Lebow told the Fauquier Times in an email that the company would not be on the planning commission agenda for Nov. 16 and was continuing to revise its application.

“We anticipate resubmitting our application shortly and will be working with county staff to schedule the first Planning Commission meeting, which may get pushed until after the holidays,” he said. “We have continued to refine our design guidelines in collaboration with community input,” he added.

enforcement of intoxicating hemp product regulations.”

Proponents of the products say delta-9 is not as strong as marijuana but does offer pain relief and sleep benefits for many users.

Jason Amatucci, of the Virginia Hemp Coalition, said everyone can agree that children shouldn’t have access to these products, much like alcohol or prescription drugs.

“But this law doesn’t stop anything coming from the internet,” he said. “It appeals to people who would like to get rid of the industry because it competes with them. Hemp is a disrupter to pharmaceuticals and big corporations that have a monopoly on medical marijuana. Now they’re selling those same products as a monopoly, but common Virginians and the free market are shut down.”

Instead of increasing safety, Amatucci said, the state law creates an unregulated black market for consumers and for producers and shifts the market to out-of-state pharmaceutical companies supplying the medical marijuana industry.

“We agree with getting rid of products that mimic candy or snack food.

We as an industry do not want that,” Amatucci said. “We applaud efforts by the administration to crack down, but they didn’t stop there—they went full force on the entire industry and took away 75% of the industry of hemp wellness products.”

At the Catlett meeting, residents asked what they could do to fight an oncoming wave of data centers and power lines to serve them. They were told to talk to their elected representatives, especially county supervisors, to speak up at meetings and to write to their state representatives and officials who oversee power transmission.

“You’re gonna write your letters; go to your planning commission meetings; you’re gonna go to every board and supervisory meeting. And you’re gonna say you don’t want a data center in Catlett,” Fultz told the group.

But not everyone in the room was encouraged.

“I mean, I will do it. But I don’t feel it’s going to do anything,” said Carolyn Martin, who lives on Bristersburg Road. “These people are too powerful. And they’re going to do what they want.”

This year’s Board of Supervisors’ races saw unprecedented fundraising across the county.

Bucking party power, independent candidates outraised Republicans by more than $33,000.

Independent candidates raised a combined total of $152,223 compared to the Republican total of $118,749.

Voters expressed a range of concerns from data center development to the quality of education in the county.

The new board of supervisors will have a number of challenges coming down the pipeline. Data

WARRENTON, from page 1 Gagnon, 65, became active in town politics when the town council was considering an Amazon data center at the entrance to Warrenton on Blackwell Road, which he opposed.

During his campaign, he tapped into lingering outrage from the Warrenton Town Council’s decision to approve a special use permit for the data center.

Gagnon is a retired publisher and outspoken critic of the Warrenton Town Council.

Gagnon’s campaign focused on preserving the small-town nature of Warrenton and keeping data centers out.

“A lot of folks drive through Prince William and Manassas, and they see those data centers, and they don’t want them here,” Gagnon said Saturday.

He said his message resonated with voters who were upset

center development pressure will continue to be a matter of concern for residents and candidates like Washer have said that protecting the county from data center development is a top priority.

The board will also have to negotiate a renewed push for collective bargaining rights from the county’s professional firefighters. The board unanimously rejected the firefighters’ petition this year, but Kenneth Neam, the head of the local firefighter’s union, said the group is already organizing their next push to secure collective bargaining rights.

by both the town council’s vote to approve the data center and what he perceives as a lack of transparency surrounding the decision.

That message certainly played well with Ward 5 voters like Charla Malone. “I’m not a fan of the Amazon data center, so that’s my number one motivation,” said Malone. Pointing to Gagnon standing across the parking lot, she said, “I wanted to support a candidate who shared my views.”

Gagnon not only opposes further data center development in Warrenton but wants to do everything he can to halt Amazon’s project.

“If we allow one data center in, there could be eight or 10 more. Then, we’ve lost this town,” he said. “All you need to do is go to Prince William County to see what data centers have done to suck the life out of those communities.”

Gagnon’s campaign in the weeks before the election raised questions not only about data center development, but a range of issues, from the cost of repairs to Warrenton’s ailing wastewater treatment plant to the future of Warrenton Middle School.

The Ward 5 special election came about when former Ward 5 council member Kevin Carter was appointed to the Fauquier County board of supervisors after former Center District supervisor Chris Granger’s resignation. John B. “Jay” Heroux III was appointed to replace Carter on the Warrenton Town Council.

Heroux’s vote in favor of the Amazon special use permit put him in the crosshairs of anti-data center activists. Heroux withdrew from the race in August, saying the lack of civil discourse in the wake of the Amazon decision contributed to his decision.

“After watching so many students face multiple challenges during COVID and post-COVID, I decided to run for the school board to help mitigate those challenges,” Dean said.

Dean won by a 45-vote margin, garnering 50.1% of the ballots cast in the district, while Bland received 49.3% School board chair and Lee District representative Stephanie Litter-Reber was also voted out and will be replaced by Fauquier Sheriff’s Office Lt. Steve Lewis. Lewis won the district with 51.6% of the vote, while Litter-Reber received 47.7%.

The other three members of the current school board in the Scott, Center and Cedar Run districts will keep their seats.

In the southeast Fauquier County Scott District, incumbent Clay Campbell easily defeated his opponent Larry Blocker with 77.7% of the vote.

Campbell, who was voted into office during a 2022 special election, will be serving his first full term starting in 2024.

Campbell is a former chair of the local Boys and Girls Club and a father of five. In 2022, he ran on a platform that promoted special education and trade skills education. Both Republican and Democratic leaning Scott District residents said they voted for him at the polls.

VETERANS DAY FEATURE

Two wars and a love story

How conflicts on 2 continents brought a local vet and his wife together 6 decades ago

By Aimee O’Grady Contributing Writer

In December 1940, Liverpool, England, was raided for three nights, and half of the 140 berths at the Liverpool dock, vital in the Battle of the Atlantic, were put out of action in a May blitz six months later.

For Lily Moffitt, Liverpool was home. Born in 1937, Lily was the first daughter in her family. Before her, five sons were born to Lucy and William Moffitt. By the time Lily was 2, England was at war.

In 1939, both Lily’s mother and a younger brother died during his birth. With all able-bodied men called to war, including her father, and a city in ruins, Lily was sent to a Salvation Army children’s home.

“There is nothing like being raised by a mother and a father,” Lily recalled in a recent interview.

“But at the home, we had a roof over our heads, a bed, good clothes, food and a proper education.”

Her brothers, however, were evacuated from Liverpool with more than 100,000 other children. They ended up on farms and in churches elsewhere in England and in Northern Wales.

Following the war, the children were eventually reunited with their father, and the family moved forward rebuilding their lives, literally. “There was no home to go back to. We had to start from scratch,” Lily said. At this point, Lily had spent 13 years in the Salvation Army home.

Meanwhile, 3,760 miles southwest of England, near Wilmington, North Carolina, George Albert McCormick was growing up in a sharecropper’s family where he attended school intermittently. Late in the spring, he helped to plant crops, and each fall, he missed school again to help with the harvest. “I went to school until 10th grade and then I knew I just had to get a job,” he said.

George joined the Army in 1953 when he was 18 years old.

George shared, “I listed Spain among other places as my preferred location, and instead the Army told me, ‘You’re going to Korea.’ I went to South Carolina for training and arrived in Korea in 1954. I quickly learned about poverty on a whole new level. We were rich on the farm in North Carolina in comparison.”

“The Army educated George and gave him an opportunity that didn’t exist for him in rural North Carolina at that time,” said Lily.

George arrived in Korea after the cease-fire armistice that ended the war between North and South Korea. “We were there to clean up so roads could be built.”

George felt a rapport with his new Korean community. “I was always making them laugh, and they taught me a lot about how to work.”

George stayed in Korea for 18 months cleaning up and maintaining inventory lists. “We had lists for everything. If there was something used by the military in Korea, we had a record of it.” George helped manage $14 million of inventory, nearly $160 million in today’s dollars.

When he returned to the U.S., his work ethic got him hired for several jobs before a cousin invited him to Connecticut to work for a swimming pool company. “When I started, I was managing the warehouse for the pool company. The skills I developed managing inventory in Korea were put to good use,” he said.

Back in Liverpool, 19-year-old Lily and her best friend, Joan, applied for work in the U.S. “I felt my options were limited in Liverpool,” she said. After being reunited with her family, her choices were finding work or staying home and tending to her father and five brothers. She and Joan decided America was the better opportunity.

Lily worked with a British agency that had a New York office to find a job as a domestic worker. Her new employer covered the cost of her transatlantic journey in exchange for one year of employment. “They asked if I knew how to do basic household chores. Growing up in the Salvation Army Home, I never did any chores, but I figured it couldn’t be that hard, so I always said yes.”

When Lily stepped off the boat in New York, her new employer, Mrs. Wilson, was there to greet her. She spent a year with the Wilson Family who offered to extend the job, but Lily had her sights on great adventures. “I had met other housekeepers over the year, and there were some who were headed for California. I craved adventure and was ready to go,” said Lily.

Before she headed west, the agency called her with an opportunity. “She told me there was a family that needed a housekeeper. Theirs, expected from Germany, was delayed due to a visa issue.

COURTESY

Lily and George McCormick, now in their 80s, were married 64 years ago after he returned from military service in Korea, and she immigrated from England.

They offered twice the salary until their expected staff arrived. “It was an offer I couldn’t turn down,” she said.

This temporary position was with the family who owned the pool company where George worked.

George and Lily met and eventually married. After many years of learning all aspects of the swimming pool business, George left the pool company and started his own. Building a services business in close proximity to New York City, he fielded calls from politicians, presidential family members and celebrities asking him to manage their pools.

Today, they live with their daughter and sonin-law in Warrenton. Their daughter, Jodi, also served in the Army and was last stationed at Vint Hill Farm Station.

Thousands of miles apart from war-torn Liverpool and the fields of North Carolina, George and Lily had an unlikely meeting in Connecticut.

They have since raised four children, built a life together and achieved many of their goals. They recently celebrated 64 years of marriage.

“I owe so much to the military. Serving allowed me to better my position in life, an opportunity that I desperately wanted. My time in service also afforded me an education and life experience vastly different from my home in rural North Carolina,” George said. “I am very proud of my time in uniform and of the life Lily and I have built together.”

FAUQUIER FIELD HOCKEY VISITS REIGNING CHAMPS IN STATE QUARTERFINALS

On Tuesday, the Fauquier High field hockey squad visited No. 1 seed and defending state champion Tabb (19-0) in the Class 3 state quarterfinals. Tabb has outscored rivals 91-2. Last week, the Falcons (13-5) fell to Western Albemarle 1-0 in the Region B semifinals, then lost to Maggie Walker 5-4 in overtime in the consolation game to enter states as a No. 4 seed.

1-0 at Kelican Field

Falcons down Meridian 21-13 in first game at renamed stadium and last for coach Buckwalter

By Jack Parry

Special to the Fauquier Times

Fauquier High’s last football game of 2023 against Meridian carried plenty of weight, emotion, history and, in the end, celebration.

The emotion started in pregame as one large family stood off to the side on Senior Day. The 17 loved ones of Kraig Kelican assembled for the game then watched as a banner was unfurled which read “Welcome to Kelican Field” signifying the renaming of Falcon Field for former principal Kelican, who died in September from injuries suffered in a car crash earlier that month.

Following a moment of silence, Kelican’s wife, Susan Kelican, was shown a plaque honoring the new stadium. The student section began to chant “Mr. Kelican” over and over.

“He dedicated his life to this school. The field itself means a lot to him,” Susan Kelican said after the dedication ceremony. “He tried to make every game, every sporting event, every extracurricular activity.

This was his world; he just loved his job.”

Suitably inspired, the Falcons closed out a rough season with a much-needed 21-13 win over Meridian to finish 2-8. It was the Falcons’ first win in the first official contest at Kelican Field and marked the last game of coach Karl Buckwalter’s five-year FHS career, as he announced his retirement following the game.

Fauquier coach Karl Buckwalter announced his resignation after Friday’s 21-13 win over Meridian. It was an emotional night as Falcon Field was renamed Kelican Field.

“It feels phenomenal because my daughter’s here.

The kids knew that it was my last game,” said Buckwalter. “It’s one of the things that we talked about, that the seniors need to go out with a home win, and to win it on Kraig Kelican’s field,” Buckwalter said.

The Falcons opened hot as running back Mason Hamilton found a hole on the third play from scrimmage and cut it out to the right sideline, speeding for a 50-yard touchdown. “I just saw the open hole.

I don’t even know what was going through my

mind, it all happened so fast. All of a sudden I was wide in the open, hauling,” said Hamilton.

The senior went out in style, rushing for 177 yards and two TDs in his final high school game.

He reiterated that the team wanted to win for their former principal. “He was just such a motivator for all of us. He cared about the team, he loved the team, he cared for everybody here,” he said.

Cougars’ boys, girls make state cross country meet for first time

By Matthew Proctor

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

For the first time in school history, the Kettle Run High cross country team is state bound.

At Pole Green Park in Mechanicsville on Nov. 1, the Cougars took second overall in the boys and girls Class 3 Region B cross country meets to qualify both squads for Saturday’s state meet in Salem.

“The kids did so well. I’m just beaming, so proud of them,” coach Kristie Hebler said. “They all showed up and they all did their part.”

Led by second and third place finishes by junior Owen Mullins and sophomore Brady Leitenberger, the boys scored 72 points to take second behind Maggie Walker (25) and ahead of Fauquier (105) and Meridian (111) in a field of 12 schools.

In the girls race, Kettle Run’s Maria Gaytan finished fourth to lead the second place Cougars (93 points). Maggie Walker (48) took first, with Meridian

With the top three teams qualifying, the Fauquier boys are also headed to Salem after narrowly outscoring Meridian. Also going is Fauquier girls star Cassidy Scott, who took second in her race in 18:49, with William Monroe freshman Samantha Nitzsche winning in 18:13.

In the boys race, Maggie Walker’s Colston Wisotzki won in 16:27.9, less than a second ahead of Kettle Run’s Mullins (16:28.2) and Leitenberger (16:28.5).

“The way Owen and Brady worked, their teamwork together was incredible. It literally came down to a photo finish between the two of them, who was going to be second and third,” said Hebler. “(Wisotzki) started his sprint a little early and kind of took the lead on them, but I seriously think if they had a few more feet, they’d have taken it back.”

Teams could enter up to seven runners in each race with the top five

scoring points. Outside of Mullins and Leitenberger, Tyler Young, the Cougars’ boys captain, finished in 17:23 to take 16th, with Keisler Fechner (17:52) 25th and Aidan Zagorski (17:53) 26th to round out the Cougars’ points scorers.

Gaytan, Kettle Run’s girls captain, took fourth in the girls race with a time of 20:09, ahead of Abigail Garner (20:38) in 11th, Chloe Thiriot (21:17) 19th, Sarah Martin (21:47) 28th and Isabella Suddarth (21:56) 31st.

Said Hebler, “Maria has been very determined. She’s had her eyes set on the prize at the end, and that was going to states, and she did that and led her team to it.”

Fauquier boys edge Meridian

Senior Reese Brown was 13th in 17:18 to lead the FHS boys. Nick Warren (17:19) was 14th, with Eli Savoie (17:42) 22nd, C.J. Foreman (17:48) 24th and Andrew Mossman (18:18) 32nd.

Both Kettle Run and Fauquier are going to states Volleyball foes collided in region final; state quarters are Saturday

By Matthew Proctor

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Sometime around 8 p.m. last Thursday in Fredericksburg, the Kettle Run High volleyball team erupted in joy, hugged each other and later gobbled down chocolate chip cookies after clinching their first state berth since 2014.

That same night, about 70 miles away in Front Royal, Fauquier’s squad was similarly giddy after earning their first state berth since 2018.

Two Fauquier County volleyball teams going to states in the same year is not only incredibly rare, but also unprecedented.

Both No. 3-seed Kettle Run (16-6) and No. 4 Fauquier (15-7) pulled off road upsets in last week’s Class 3 Region B semifinals setting up their duel for the region title Tuesday at Kettle Run, with state quarterfinals set for Saturday against Region A rivals New Kent or Grafton.

“Our goal all year was to try to make the state tournament. Dropping to 3A, we knew we had a different format and we knew that we had a young team, but a decent team coming back,” Kettle Run coach Rod Crooks said. “This was what we wanted. We have accomplished it. Now I got to get down to think that there’s a little bit more past this.”

The Cougars punched their ticket to states by downing No. 2 seed James Monroe 25-20, 22-25, 25-20, 25-23. It’s just Kettle Run’s second state tourney trip; they lost to Cave Spring in the Class 3 semifinals in 2014.

Elsewhere, the Falcons swept past No. 1 seed Warren County 25-22, 25-16, 25-20 to make states for the first time since 2018 when they fell to Blacksburg in the Class 4 quarterfinals in coach Kiki Scott’s senior season at FHS. “Five years ago, I was in this exact same spot as the girls are now. So, we’re in a very unique position where me and my assistant coach (Megan Constantino) both were in this position as a

To get to the region final, Kettle Run swept No. 6 Goochland 25-12, 25-10, 25-13. In the road upset over No. 2 James Monroe, the Cougars ended the first set on a 5-1 run to win 25-20, later winning the third set wire-to-wire to move one set away from advancing to states.

Ahead 23-16 in the fourth set, James Monroe narrowed the score to 24-23 before Ashley Wise’s kill gave the Cougars the match. Wise led the Cougars with 12 kills, with freshman Alex Adams (9 kills) and sophomore Brooke DeAtley (6 blocks) also contributed to the win.

“We just stepped up at the right time with the right people. We didn’t break down. We didn’t score the way I wanted us to, sometimes the rallies were a little bit too long… but we still fought through it and still won. So, can’t be anything but pleased,” Crooks said.

Fauquier sweeps Warren County

Fauquier needed five sets in the quarterfinals to take out No. 5 seed Meridian 25-16, 21-25, 25-20, 23-25, 15-11. Seniors Caroline Towle (20 kills), Leah Kelso (11 kills) and Audrey Hall (5 blocks) all came up clutch to set up a showdown at No. 1 Warren County.

Quaker hurt in Kettle Run’s 31-13 loss to Brentsville

By Matthew Proctor

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Kettle Run’s lofty football dreams have hit a crossroads, while Brentsville’s stock has never been higher.

Leading the Tigers 13-0 last Friday night, the Cougars watched the visitors score 31 straight points to win 31-13, claim the Class 3 Northwestern District title and change the seedings entering the upcoming Class 3 Region B playoffs.

Brentsville (9-1) bolted to the No. 2 seed behind No. 1 Thomas Jefferson (Richmond), with Kettle Run now at No. 3. Worse, the Cougars lost the key to their offense, Colton Quaker, to an apparent knee injury, likely putting the star running back out of Friday’s playoff opener vs. No. 6 seed Skyline (4-6) at 7 p.m.

Brentsville’s defense shut down Quaker and quarterback Jake Mulhern over the final three quarters.

“We had to go through the best,” said Bentsville coach Loren White.

“That’s a great team over there, a well-coached team over there. I’m happy for my boys, happy for this program. We worked hard for this.”

“Brentsville is really good. I thought they had a great plan, I thought they were super physical,”

Nico Orlando and the Brentsville Tigers roared past Kettle Run 31-13 last Friday ending the Cougars’ 28-game regular season winning streak. The Cougars (9-1) next host Meridian (4-6) in the region quarterfinals. said Kettle Run coach Charlie Porterfield.

Kettle Run had won 28 straight regular season games and handled the Tigers comfortably the last two years. The Cougars roared out of the gates to lead 13-0 after two Quaker TDs (10, 1 yards).

But costly turnovers, injuries and

big plays by the Tigers, including a pick six interception by Tyler Owens, turned the tide.

After totaling minus 12 yards on their first two drives, dual-threat quarterback Caleb Alexander and running back Nico Orlando got Brentsville going. Orlando finished with 127 yards and a touchdown on

Eagles face tough road trip to Salem For the first time since 2019, the Liberty Eagles are in the playoffs.

Despite a bye the final week, the Eagles had more power points than Orange and James Wood and earned the No. 8 seed in Class 4 Region D. The Eagles (5-5) visit No. 1 Salem (9-1) Friday at 7 p.m. “It’s no secret. Salem lines up and they just smack you in the mouth,” said coach Kevin Odlum, who hopes games against run-based teams like Millbrook, Handley and Brentsville have prepared his squad.

“None of the players on this (Liberty) team have been in the playoffs. It’s a first for them. We’re going down to play a very good team. It’s a hostile environment and we need to take the emotion out of it. We need to get back to our strengths,” said the first-year coach.

The game is a rematch of the 2014 Class 4 semifinal, won by Salem 34-17.

Falcon Field is now Kelican Field FALCONS, from page 12 After a 2-point conversion run by senior offensive lineman Dillon Epperson made it 8-0, both teams punted and missed on fourth down on four consecutive drives.

Meridian (4-6), which advanced to the Class 3 Region B playoffs as the No. 7 seed, looked dangerous driving inside Fauquier territory early in the second quarter. But defensive lineman Chase Leazer powered into Mustang quarterback Benjamin Kozbelt on third down to force a fumble which was recovered by the Falcons with 6:22 remaining in the half.

“The girls recognized that they didn’t bring their ‘A’ game (against Meridian), so we went really hard in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday to come out ready for Thursday.

And on Wednesday night, I think a switch just flipped,” said Scott.

The plaque presented to Susan Kelican at Friday’s dedication ceremony.

Since losing to Warren County for the second time in a tight, five set match on Oct. 11, the Falcons have won seven games in a row, dropping just five total sets in that stretch.

“I think that really showed them that they can do it if they want it that bad,” Scott said. “That really spurred them on to show that they can prove that they deserve to be there.”

The Kettle Run-Fauquier region final played Tuesday was important.

The winner hosts the loser of the Region A final between New Kent (1411) and Grafton (21-4) in the quarterfinals on Saturday, with the loser traveling to the Region A winner.

The next drive ended in a fumbled snap turnover by Fauquier QB Bo Green before Meridian led a fiveminute, 54-yard drive that ended with Omar Dabbourah’s 5-yard TD run with 20 seconds left in the half. The Mustangs’ 2-point conversion was no good as Fauquier led 8-6 at halftime.

The Falcons took advantage of their first drive of the second half, capping it off with Hamilton’s 10yard rushing TD and Hector Villatoro’s kick to make it 15-6.

But the game was far from over.

The Mustangs drove 52 yards to score on Alden Harrison’s 9-yard TD run along with a PAT from Luke Russell to cut Fauquier’s lead to 1513 with 11 minutes left.

Fauquier failed on the next drive, but Meridian couldn’t do much better, helping the Falcons score again as they

drove 76 yards in just over a minute.

Chase Leazer ran it into the end zone from two yards off a wildcat formation with 1:56 left for a 21-13 lead.

Meridian blocked the extra point kick, earning a chance to tie with 1:44 left and down eight points. But with little time left, the Mustangs were unsuccessful. The game ended with an incomplete pass at the Falcon 21-yard line.

With principal Kelican and coach Buckwalter on their minds, Hamilton said it was an emotional night. “We did this game for Mr. K, for the seniors, for coach Buck who’s retiring. We just had to play it for our team,” he said.

Susan Kelican reiterated what Kelican Field means for her family.

“Leaps and bounds for this field to be named after him. He leaves a legacy,” she said.

And C.J.’s got a lot of fight and he had a big day at the right time,” Jones said.

Up next is the Class 3 state meet at Green Hill Park in Salem on Saturday.

Kettle Run’s Hebler is optimistic and elated to have all her runners qualify.

“Our goal this week is just to train smart and give them plenty of rest and for them to show up and give us the best race they have on the day of the race and let the chips fall where they fall,” she said.

Easing back after an injury, Warren has become one of the Falcons’ strongest runners. “He had a big race. For him to be up there with Reese was big, and I think he and Reese will push it again when we get to the state meet,” said Jones.

Cougars host Skyline in region quarters COUGARS, from page 13 “They took advantage of all their athletes tonight and spread the ball around and were able to attack us in different ways on different parts of the fields and put different guys in the conflict,” Porterfield said.

With less than five minutes remaining in the first half, Brentsville’s comeback was kickstarted when Alexander hit Tyler Owens deep down the middle of the field for a 65-yard gain to set up Alexander’s 2-yard rushing TD. After forcing a Kettle Run threeand-out, the Tigers drove 67 yards in 1:18 to set up a 21-yard field goal by Wyatt Vonderhaar on the final play of the half to cut the deficit to 13-10.

The Cougars opened the second half with nine straight Quaker runs to move into Brentsville territory, but the drive stalled on a Mulhern incompletion on fourth down.

Quaker ran for 153 yards and two TDs on 25 carries before exiting in the third quarter with an injury.

Two plays after a Kettle Run turnover on downs, Orlando ran to the outside, picked up a key block from wide receiver Trent Hayes then went untouched down the left sideline for a 73-yard TD and a 17-13 lead.

On the very next play, Owens cut in front of a Mulhern pass near the sideline and returned it 20 yards for a TD and a 24-13 Brentsville lead,

Tigers would be favored in rematch on Nov. 17 A Kettle Run-Brentsville rematch in the Class 3 Region B semifinals almost seems like a certainty in two weeks.

With Brentsville coming in red hot and Colton Quaker hurt, it’s the Cougars who’d likely be the underdog playing on the Tigers’ field.

“Looking at all those faces in the huddle at the end, those guys want to keep playing,” said Kettle Run coach Charlie Porterfield.

He knows his Cougars need to play better. “I thought they matched us physically and were able to out-physical us at times, which I don’t think we’ve seen yet, so a little shocked,” said Porterfield.

Brentsville’s Caleb Alexander also expects a rematch. “We got to lock in because we got one more. We got to beat them again,” Alexander said.

Falcons take 5th at state cheer meet

The Fauquier High competition cheer team placed fifth at the Class 3 state meet last Saturday at the Siegel Center in Richmond.

That was the best finish in program history, topping their seventh place in 2013 and eighth in 2014.

The Falcons hit a clean routine and missed advancing to the final round

by 1.75 points. Cave Spring scored 264.5 to claim the title, followed

by Lord Botetourt, Brentsville and Grafton.

“These girls have made their whole community so proud and we couldn’t have asked for a better season,” said coach D.J. Christian.

“The entire experience was one we will never forget. So many laughs, so much love and so much pride.”

“That pick-6 was a killer. It was a great play by that kid, though. Great individual play,” Porterfield said.

With Quaker out, Kettle Run couldn’t get anything going offensively in the fourth quarter as Alexander scored on a 15-yard rush to extend the lead to 31-13.

Whether homeowners can have backyard chickens often depends on whether your property is covered by covenants, conditions and restrictions.

STOCK PHOTO

Dream of having backyard chickens? Read the fine print.

By Tyler Ross Covenants, conditions, and restrictions are those picky rules that dictate what you can and can’t do and that seem to have a say in everything you do, including the width of your driveway, your style of fencing and even today’s hot topic of backyard chickens. We’ll get back to that.

In the U.S., covenants, conditions & restrictions have been influencing American real estate since the late 19th century. From the mid 1800s up until 1948, one of the main drivers of the recorded instruments was to not just to encourage but enforce discrimination and segregation based on race and religion, most often targeting Asians, Jews and African Americans. Thankfully, no longer enforceable due to the 1948 Supreme Court decision in Shelley v.

Kraemer, you can still find artifacts of these CC&Rs in land records. Can you imagine the title of your property actually having the words “said premises shall not be rented, leased or conveyed to, or occupied by, any

person other than of white or Caucasian race”? That’s from a deed in Beverly Hills, California. 1948 wasn’t that long ago.

With that history behind us, nowadays CC&Rs survive to focus on more trivial things. Lawn maintenance? Check. Neighborly relations?

Check. Parking boats? Check. And you guessed it, we’re back to backyard chickens. Less foul things and more fowl things.

It is important to note CC&Rs and Homeowners’ associations are not the same thing. HOAs are often the mechanism to enforce the CC&Rs by way of fines, suspensions or forced compliance. It’s not unusual to find a subdivision that has CC&Rs but no HOA. Without a motivated HOA, the enforcement of CC&Rs is left to either the jurisdiction the property is in or a litigious neighbor. Fun! If I had a nickel for every time a home buyer asked about backyard chickens, I’d have $2. Folks have been migrating toward our countryside from D.C. for obvious reasons

over the last few years and have been struck by the often-found limitation on chickens. “Why can’t I have chickens?!” Well, the CC&Rs prevent it. Here are some reasons why: Noise, roosters crowing in the morning? No thank you. Odor, chickens can stink! Pests, like rodents and flies. Disease like salmonella. Sometimes the covenant is there because the authoring attorney just copied and pasted their last set of covenants. The list goes on.

Personally, I’d love to have backyard chickens. The risks are hardly an impact in my opinion. Fresh eggs are a super-food, full of protein and fuel for your brain. I’d love my kids to be exposed to the responsibility and biology of tending to chickens.

Chickens also eat weeds and bugs, and chicken poo is pure gold for soil and fertilizer. It’s also a move in the direction of sustainability and being a local food producer. And the idea of bringing my family’s excess, fresh eggs to friends I just love.

Alas, my neighborhood CC&Rs prevent my having chickens (hint-hint

to my excess-egg-having friends). If I want chickens, I’ll have to break the covenants and contend with consequences, consult the instrument itself to see how the limitations may be changed or move somewhere that restriction doesn’t exist. Why did the Tyler cross the road? Chickens.

In many ways, CC&Rs are the building blocks of communities to ensure a high standard of care for properties within your neighborhood, to maintain property values as well as stabilize a particular quality of life. And sometimes, they prevent you from having chickens.

Mercifully, there are plenty of shops and local farmers where fresh eggs are indeed available. Be sure to support your local businesses and farmers!

Gail Holmes Moore Gail Holmes Moore, most recently of Strasburg, VA and formerly of Powhatan, VA, died suddenly at Winchester Medical Center on October 31, 2023.

Gail was born on June 24, 1948 in Bristersburg, VA to the late Joseph M. and Abbie C. Holmes.

Graduating from Fauquier High School in 1966, Gail went on to graduate from the Stuart Circle Hospital School of Nursing in Richmond, VA in 1969.

Gail is survived by her daughter, Abbie Gail Moore Ford and her husband, Brandon, whom Gail considered a son. Other survivors include her grandson, Bobby, who was her greatest pride and joy; brothers Alton Holmes and Buddy Holmes (Pat); sisters Alma Field (Milton) and Brenda Coppage (James). Also surviving are brother-in-law Gordon Moore; sisters-in-law Jo Anne Moore, Vickie Moore, and Maureen Moore; her dear friend, Susan Patterson; many cousins, three generations of nieces and nephews, numerous wonderful friends from her Nursing career, and special orange cat, Doodle.

In addition to her parents, Gail was preceded in death by her husband, Robert L. Moore, Sr.; stepson, Robert (Bootsie) L. Moore, Jr.; brother Dwight Holmes and his wife, Betty; sister Karen Holmes; sister-in-law Shirley Holmes; and dear friends, Anne Gayle, Mary Wash, and Madalyn Leonard.

Gail's Christian Faith was the self-expressed center of her life and every day, one could find Gail listening to her audio Bible and listening to Christian TV programs. Although Gail's health limited her ability to attend Church in person, she faithfully attended Church daily with Joyce Meyer, David Jeremiah, Charles Stanley and Robert Jeffress. Gail's friends referred to her as a "Prayer Warrior."

Gail cherished her many life-long friendships and all agree there was no greater friend than Gail.

Despite many health hurdles, Gail made every effort to make memories with her beloved grandson, family, and friends. Gail enjoyed nothing more than spending time with Bobby and over the last 15 years, the two developed a special bond admired by many. Gail faced numerous health challenges and losses throughout her life, however her Faith never wavered. Gail was a 10 year survivor of advanced breast cancer and tackled the last 11 years of her life with severe vision impairment.

Next to her Faith, family, and friends, Gail's greatest love was Nursing. Gail wanted to be a nurse from the time she could talk and as a child and teenager, provided care and company to the elderly. Gail ultimately devoted 43 years to the profession that she held so dear and all 43 years were spent at the same network of hospitals in Richmond, VA. During her career, and even after retirement, many people relied on Gail's care and advice when presented with a medical situation.

Gail placed the needs and care of others before those of her own - a quality that made her a wonderful nurse and one that was demonstrated until her last breath.

Gail enjoyed reading, and most recently listening to, books with happy endings.

Gail found joy in cooking, crafting, listening to gospel and classic country music, gardening, and bird watching. Few things made Gail happier than the first homegrown tomato and hummingbirds of the season.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 1 PM on Saturday, November 18, 2023 at Midland United Methodist Church in Midland, VA. Interment will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations "in honor of Gail Moore," can be made to Seniors First: The Shenandoah Area Agency on Aging - an organization that meant so much to Gail in the final years of her life.

Steven Joergen Petersen Steven Joergen Petersen, born on November 4, 1947, in Manassas, Virginia, peacefully passed away on November 3, 2023, in Maggie Valley, North Carolina at the age of 75. Steven lived the majority of his life in Manassas, VA, a place he cherished for its rich Civil War history. He also lived in Merritt Island, FL, and most recently settled in Maggie Valley, NC, where he felt a deep connection to the beautiful landscape of the Western NC mountains.

Professionally, Steven was a self-employed general contractor and custom home builder. Steven was also a lifelong scholar and historian, with a particular fascination for civil war history.

An athlete at heart, Steven played football, basketball, and baseball as a young man. As an adult, Steven found immense joy in connecting with nature through running. His favorite place to absorb the sights, smells, and the feel of the changing seasons was Manassas Battlefield Park. It was at this park that he passed along his passion for connecting to nature, history, and self through trail running to his daughter Abby.

Steven loved his country and was a patriot in every sense of the word. He held a deep appreciation for the values that shaped America, and he expressed that appreciation (combined with his love for literature and poetry) by memorizing and reciting classical American passages such as the Declaration of Independence and the Gettysburg Address.

Steven is preceded in death by his parents, Alfred Joergen Petersen and Helen Lucy Click Petersen, as well as his brother Eric Petersen. Steven leaves behind a loving and devoted life partner, Sandra Shepherd Rowland.

Don’t let their memory fade...

Let us help you spread their memorial.

Margaret Cox Carnduff Margaret Cox Carnduff, 78, passed peacefully October 10, 2023 after a steady decline with dementia and various other ailments.

Extended family and friends adored both her and her attitude of doing whatever she wanted without regard to what others may think about it. The family appreciates the compassionate care and expertise of the hospice team at the Adler Center of Capital Caring Hospice.

A native Washingtonian, Margaret was born April 26, 1945 in Washington, DC, the youngest of 3 children of Arthur Rhodes Carnduff and Virginia Truxton Glazebrook and was raised in Bethesda, MD, less than 1 block from the DC line. From her classical education at the Madeira School she could still recite sonnets in full, a feat which amazed everyone. She could craft a custom limerick lickety-split to elicit a good hearty laugh from anyone lucky enough to be near her. A competitive horseback rider and graduate of Converse College, she could also speak fluent French from her studies at the Sorbonne. She enjoyed duplicate bridge and challenges with her doubles tennis partner, Wimbledon champion Pauline Betz Addie. Margaret had lived in her beloved Gainesville, VA, for 50 years where she was an integral part of the close-knit community on the Catharpin Strip. She was an independent, confident, gregarious woman and after winning the national sales award for over a decade while employed by Frieden-Alcatel, she retired in her 50's to play her guitar, sit on her screened porch and enjoy her pond, pool and pets. In retirement she golfed on every day with a name ending in "day", was always accompanied by her genuine Goose Dog on the golf course, was an avid tennis player and had season tickets to her beloved Redskins. Margaret was a decent downhill skier until she floundered on an expert double-black-diamond vertical slope called Moment of Truth. A lover of bluegrass music, she was a regular on Saturday nights at the stupendous Old Lucketts Schoolhouse. Her 4th of July parties with bushels of crabs are treasured memories.

Margaret is survived by her sister Ginger Frazer French of Jacksonville, FL, her brother William Carnduff (Peg) of Wellfleet, MA, her beloved nieces - The A's Alison Carnduff (Vince Tompkins), Ashley Frazer Sperling (John Mezzanotte) and Amie Frazer Day (Greg); great nieces/nephews Julia, Daniel and Lucy Tompkins; Decker, Laurel and Cameron Day; Allie Grace Sperling; cousins Margie Johnson Orrick, Alan Martin Johnson III and multiple other cousins.

Inurnment is Saturday, December 9 at 9:30 am in Oak Hill Cemetery, Washington DC followed by a noon celebration of her life at her home.

Condolence messages can be left at Pierce Funeral Home https://www.piercefh.c om/obituaries/.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Prince William County Humane Society via https://www.pwhumane.org/donate then selecting Honor/Memorial in Margaret's name.

Daniel Joseph (D.J.) Fauber Daniel Joseph (D.J.) Fauber, 50 years old, beloved partner and father, passed away on September 10, 2023, in Virginia.

D.J. is survived by his soul mate and life partner of 12 years, Elizabeth Grimsley; his children Isaac Fauber, Bailey Fauber, Ethan Fauber and two bonus children, Brooke Grimsley and Marcus Grimsley. He is also survived by the mother of his children, Carey Fauber, as well as many other family members that loved him dearly.

D.J was a loving partner and father who enjoyed spending time with his family more than anything, and always made it his priority. He had a deep love for the simple joys of life. He cherished the moments he spent with his family and was always sure to create lasting memories filled with love and laughter along the way.

D.J. had an affinity for boating, cooking, farm animals and tinkering with cars. He was a true handyman that could fix almost anything and was always ready to lend a helping hand to any family member or friends in need. His warmth, kindness and love will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

D.J. was born in Chanute AFB Illinois on April 4, 1973. Early in life, he served in the US Navy, and received multiple medals during his enlistment. In his later years, he spent a significant part of his life working in carpentry and millwork, where he worked his way up to senior project manager, leaving behind a legacy of quality craftsmanship.

His work ethic and dedication was an inspiration to those who had the privilege of knowing him.

In keeping with the wishes of D.J., there will be no funeral services. The family will hold a private celebration of life for D.J. at a later time, where they will gather to remember and honor the wonderful man he was.

WHEN IS AN AUTOPSY NECESSARY? An autopsy is performed to determine how a person died. Sometimes autopsies are required, while other times a family or doctor may request one to learn more about the death. Every local government has either a coroner or a medical examiner who records deaths. Most states require medical examiners to be doctors, while a coroner is often an elected position requiring no medical training. Coroners who are not doctors must ask a medical examiner or pathologist to perform an autopsy. Most states require an autopsy if someone dies in a suspicious, unusual, or unnatural way. Some states require one when a doctor is not present for the death. Most autopsies will not delay a funeral or prevent viewing the body.

At MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we pride ourselves on providing quality products and dignified service at an affordable cost. We understand that the emotional and financial burdens can be overwhelming, and our goal is to alleviate as much stress as possible during this time. Our spacious facility with ample parking offers two chapels, family rooms, parlors, and an on-site crematory. Please call us at (540) 347-3431 to learn more. We invite you to tour our facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton.
