It was not just a hobby for Donald; it was a reflection of his nurturing spirit and respect for the environment. Donald was also a devoted family man. He cherished every moment with his loved ones. His faith was a cornerstone in his life; he found solace and strength in reading his Bible, drawing comfort from its teachings.
He leaves behind a tapestry of memories woven with love, laughter, and unwavering support. Donald Farris will be greatly missed, but his influence will continue to resonate in the hearts of those who knew him.
Donald is survived by son, Michael Farris; daughters, Donna Stewart (Brent) and Candace Farris; two grandchildren, Reid Stewart and Clay Stewart; and brother, Dwight Farris (Shelia), several nieces, nephews, other relatives and host of friends.
