Those close to Fahey described him as an energetic, loyal young man who had recently focused all his energy on the upcoming arrival of his baby. Becoming a dad was the defining chapter of his young adulthood. Friends recalled him talking constantly about setting up the nursery, working extra hours, and ensuring his partner had everything ready for their newborn.
