Lee Farkas Obituary

Lee Thomas Farkas
Sept. 5, 1970 - Oct. 27, 2019
Lee Thomas Farkas was born on September 5, 1970 in Long Beach, Ca and finished his battle with cancer and entered into the arms of his savior on October 27, 2019 at the Hospice House in Hughson.
Lee graduated from Downey High School in 1989. He worked for Pepsi, Cal Western Transport and started working for MID in 1998 as a meter reader. He transferred to the Irrigation Department and eventually began ditchtending as a nightender. He later began ditchtending lower lateral #6 and lateral #7 where he made many more longtime friends. Lee was dedicated to his work at MID and as a truck driver for Exact and other companies around Modesto. He genuinely cared for people combined with his strong work ethic, he made a lasting impact with the customers that he served.
Lee was a good provider for his family and rarely missed his children's activities. He openly embraced the spiritual side of his life by accepting Jesus as his personal savior, and he was baptized with Leigh Ana at Prescott Church soon after.
Lee will be missed by all who knew him and leaves us with a big hole in our hearts. A celebration of Lee's life is planned for November 9th at 1 P.M. At the Durrer Barn on 3500 Dunn Rd. Modesto, Ca.
He is survived by his wife Leigh Ana, son Justin, daughters Adriana and Jordyn, Sister Tina (Stephen) Kouvelis, and many more family members.
Remembrances can be made to,

Lee was like another brother to me! He was a light that burned so bright, he was always so loving and caring to everyone and anyone. He worked so hard and loved so hard. I will miss him very much and will reminisce about all the times we played 99 and other games.
He will be greatly missed! LeighAna, I love you! If you need anything please don't hesitate!

Lee was one of those types of people who could make the entire room smile when he walked in, and always made you feel better if you were feeling down. His cartoon impressions were priceless , always keeping people laughing their heads off. He was very generous and had a huge personality. Great father great husband great friend. He will be missed very much. My prayers go out to you Leigh Ana and kids!

Lee, I never got to meet you but I worked with your wife Leigh Ana. That woman loves you so much. Every time she talked about you her face always showed love. That's why it hurts me so much to know what she's going through. That love is hard to find. She is so amazing and she makes me want to be a better wife. Please visit her in her dreams often <3
