Kevin Farmer Obituary

Published by Richmond Times-Dispatch on Aug. 9, 2010.
FARMER, Kevin R., 46, of Richmond, Va., passed on Friday, August 6, 2010. He was predeceased by his parents, J. Alvin Farmer and Paulette A. Farmer. He is survived by his wife, Cathy R. Farmer; his children, Jordan Agee Farmer and Olivia Dorothy Rose Farmer; brothers, Dwight Farmer and Brent Farmer and wife, Tamara Privitera, and nephew, Chase Farmer; and brother-in-law, J. David Rose Jr. and wife, Janie Rose, and nephews, James D. Rose III and wife, Diana Rose, and Andrew S. Rose. Following his graduation from Hermitage High School, Kevin Farmer worked for Ukrop's for 18 years and then became involved in the family business, David Rose Company-Sales, LTD. Kevin was very proud of his children and supported all their activities as well as their friends' activities at Collegiate. Kevin was actively involved in Ducks Unlimited of Western Henrico, Cavalier Gun Club and National Sporting Clays Association. He shared his love of hunting with his numerous friends as he traveled abroad on safari and hunting trips. Always with a smile, and with the art of telling a story, Kevin never met a stranger. With his engaging personality and loving spirit, Kevin had friends in every corner of the world. The family wishes to celebrate his life with friends and have you share your stories on Thursday, August 12, 2010 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Hermitage Country Club. Casual, safari attire is appropriate as we share our memories. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Kevin R. Farmer Memorial Education Fund at Union First Market Bank.

So sad to hear of Kevin's passing. He used to call on me at Wiley and Wilson (engineering) when he moved over to the David Rose company. Always happy and had a smile on his face, that is not something you can say about most sales people in the HVAC industry. We drifted apart when i moved back out of state. I know this is almost 8 years late but Jordan and Olivia you kids have a wonderful dad.

You have my deepest condolence in the loss of your beloved Kevin. He was more than a customer to me here at Toyota... He was a friend!
Yours truly,

Cathy, Jordan and Olivia,
I am very saddened to hear of Kevins passing. We went to HHS together and had many great times through the years. Kevin was always one of my favorites in school and some of my best memories from back in the day are because of him. I know this is a tough time and I would encourage you to remember the smile as those of us from HHS have done over the years. Praying for the Peace and Grace of an ever present God to shine on you at this time.

Cathy and I grew up together from childhood playmates until we graduated from Hermitage HS. Although I did not know Kevin personally, I believe he inspired the lives of many who knew him. Cathy, treasure your memories with Kevin and hold them deep within your heart always. God bless you, Olivia and Jordan during this tremendous loss. And when you only see that one set of footprints in the sand, that is when God will carry you.

Like many who have posted comments, my memories of Kevin began at HHS. In the years that followed, he'd keep me up to date on what was going with a lot of past graduates when I'd run into him at Ukrops....I guess there were a lot of us that ran into him there :) In recent years, I would run into him occasionally and nothing had changed....always the fun-filled soul who talked with great pride about his family and travelling adventures. To Cathy, the kids and the rest of the family, I hope that your cherished memories with and of him will fill your hearts with peace. May God Bless you all.
