Franklin Canady
October 28, 1932 ~ December 29, 2023
Fairburn Southern Funerals & Cremations
It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather, Mr. Franklin Canady, who departed this life on December 29, 2023. He was a pillar of strength for his family and a source of inspiration for all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Franklin was born to the late Herbert and Ava Canady in Jacksonville, North Carolina. His journey through life was marked by love, compassion, and unwavering dedication to his family. He married the love of his life, Bettye Canady, and together they shared a bond that withstood the test of time.
Franklin leaves behind a legacy of love through his beloved family members: Joyce Ann Swann, James McAllister (Shirley, Greensboro NC), Franklin Earl Canady, Frances Coston, Doris Wells, Timothy Canady (Gwen, Magnolia NC), Bernard Canady, Victor Canady (Evelyn, Wallace NC), Paula Waters, Louis Canady, Anna Canady, Beatrice Canady, and Otis Canady.
His family tree blossomed into a beautiful forest with 35 grandchildren, 62 great-grandchildren, and 19 great-great-grandchildren, as well as 3 sisters-in-law, 3 brothers-in-law, and a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins; all of whom carry the torch of his legacy forward.
A visitation with the family will be held on Saturday, January 6, 2024, from 11:00am-12:00pm. A celebration of Franklin's life will take place on Saturday, January 6, 2024, at 12:00 PM. This service will be livestreamed and the link can be found below. The visitation and celebration of life will be held at 431 SW Broad Street, Fairburn, GA 30213.
As we mourn the loss of a remarkable man, let us also celebrate the legacy he leaves behind—a legacy of love, family, and the enduring impact of a life well-lived. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

Remember: John 14: 27-29
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid (28) You heard me say, “I am going away and I am coming back to you. If you loved me, you will be glad that I am going to be with the Father, for the Father is greater than I (29) I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe.
May God bless and continue to keep you all in His perfect peace.
