Jeffrey Farrow Obituary

Jeffrey Mahlon Farrow escaped this mortal realm on Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2023, at the age of 43. We think he did it on purpose to avoid a decision on his father's birthday present because he's a hard man to buy for, ask his mom. He leaves behind two children, Alexander Mahlon and Zachary Mahlon Farrow (a.k.a A and Z); his parents, Tom and Ramona Farrow; and two siblings, Casina and Craig Farrow; in addition to a career at MIDARK Surgical/Zimmer Biomet, for which he was an unofficial spokesman while waiting to be bitten by an Araneus Oscorpeus so he could join Spiderman one day. Jeff built his backstory for his impending superhero career in Alma, attending all of his schooling there. After school he moved to Hot Springs Village, to work with family and that's where he met the mother of his more obvious superhero children. It wasn't too long after getting married that Jeff relocated his family to Benton, probably because Benton and the Greater Little Rock Area resembles Gotham more than Hot Springs Village does. It was at this point where Jeff started assembling his merry band of support heroes and ultimately joined Team Juggernaut to further conceal his identity. Jeff decided to relocate his secret lair when he moved in with one of his best friends, Jeremy. As Jeff's life continued to unfold there were numerous adventures that included his love-hate relationship with golf and The Arkansas Razorbacks, but his real passion was for collecting comics and memorabilia for which we considered research for his superhero job someday. When asked about his friends Jeff said "There was no better group of morons and mental patients than those he had the privilege of spending time with." When asked about his job the smile on his face said all you needed to know. Visitation held at 4 p.m. with services following at 5 p.m., Feb. 22, at Smith-Benton Funeral Home, 322 N Market St., Benton, AR. He was never one for sentiment or religiosity, but he wanted you to know he can likely be found in Heaven with his feet folded and his cat, Wiley, in his lap. He will be watching the "Princess Bride" and obnoxiously quoting. You are welcome to join him but leave the quotes to Jeff. My dearest brother, you are loved and your absence is "Inconceivable"!

Tom and Ramona,
I am so sorry to hear about Jeff. First and foremost, my thoughts and prayers are with both of you. A parent should never have to deal with the passing of one of their children. I had to be out of town on business and could not attend the funeral - I wish I could have been there to give both of you a big hug. Both of you have always had a special place in my heart as I spent so much time with you guys growing up. As you help to grow and nurture this plant, please use it as a reminder of how you did the same with Jeff. I love you guys!!! Danny Vines and family
