Christopher "Chris" Fayard

Christopher Ryan Fayard of Biloxi, MS., passed away unexpectedly at his home on January 15, 2022 only days after celebrating his 44th birthday, leaving his mother, brother and other relatives and dear friends in total disbelief and truly heartbroken.

Chris will be remembered from his earlier days working along side his dad, mom, aunts and uncles at the Curb Market in D’Iberville, then later at Fayard’s B.P.(now Marathon), and as a graduate from D’Iberville High School, a loving son, brother, nephew, uncle, cousin and dear friend to so many.  However, in his adult life, most will remember him for his love of music, him playing his guitar and how gifted he truly was.  He played numerous venues along the Ms. Coast with Split 6, Joshua Sun and Aura including Thunders Tavern, The Purple Pelican, The Phoenix Lounge, Kress Live, the CPR Fest at the Ms Coast Coliseum. He will also be remembered for organizing “Fayard Fest” in honor of those he loved and lost to cancer.
