Karl Dallas Fields

He attended Davidson High School and graduated from Gulf Coast Academy in 1983. He obtained a technical degree from Alabama Aviation and Technical College. He worked as a mechanic for several years and then worked as an over the road truck driver hauling cars and other products.

He was a loving husband, father, brother, son, papa, uncle, and friend to many. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone. Karl was an avid Alabama Football fan and he watched every game. He could be heard yelling “Roll Tide” after every touchdown. He enjoyed gardening, taking care of his chickens, spending time with his family and friends, and fixing things. He was truly a jack of all trades.

Karl was preceded in death by his father Bill Eugene Fields, grandmothers Katie Pierce and Ida Mae Blalock, grandfathers Tommie Pierce, Sr. and Ezra Fields.

He is survived by his wife Debra Jarrell Fields. He leaves behind his mother Helen Pierce Fields Fairchild (Ben Odell), siblings Billy (Glinda) Fields, Margie (Leonard) Dean, Bobby (Rachel) Fields, and Kurt (Tammy) Fields, one daughter Tabatha (Ben) Hatcher, two stepsons Ryan (Hannah) Prine, and Chase (Shay) Ray, two grandchildren Harper and Benji Prine, his beloved dog Greta and cat Bootsie, along with many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Visitation will be held on Saturday March 29 at 9:00 am with the chapel service beginning at 11:00. The graveside will immediately follow. Officiating the service will be Brother Glenn Barnhill with some words spoken by Reverend Ronnie Pierce. Arrangements are by Pine Crest Funeral Home, 1939 Dauphin Island Parkway Mobile, AL 36605. Friends and family are invited to Solid Rock Church of God for a reception immediately following the graveside service.

The family wants to extend their appreciation and thanks to the 4th floor nurses at Springhill Medical Center and Saad’s Retreat for taking such good care of Karl and his family. We are forever grateful.
