For many years, he has served our Savior at the Baton Rouge Seventh-day Adventist Church, as head elder, head deacon, school board chair and Sabbath school teacher over time. He has been a friend to all, with his fantastic memory serving him well. Bill Wilson recounts a story of them sitting in Sabbath school talking to a lady who was a new believer and Fautheree mentioned her birthdate and year. The lady’s eyes widened, and she didn’t know what to make of him having that knowledge. She learned that Fautheree has a memory unlike most, and he blesses others by reminding them of upcoming family member’s birthdays and anniversaries.

Fautheree was given a 90th birthday party by his wife of 20 years, Joycelyn and their combined five children and more than 30 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
