Henry Farris Obituary
Richmond, Indiana - Henry L. Farris Sr., age 64, passed away September 13, 2020. He was born to Sara Lee Eirven and Lawrence Farris Sr., in Florence, Alabama.
Henry was a resident of Richmond, Indiana, for many years. He loved family fun and everyone he came across, until you crossed him. Henry was a man of many crafts, worked anywhere and everywhere. You just had to have his cash in hand! He enjoyed working on cars, working on homes, re-polishing furniture and basic yard work. Most of all he loved the open road; Ride it like you stole it, but drive it like you own it. Henry was down to earth and was loved by all.
He leaves to cherish his memory; his mother: Sara Lee Eirven from Florence, AL; his brothers and sisters: Mary Farris, Helean Farris (Bit), John Farris and Clara Farris (Ron); all from Florence, AL; his children: Robie Fountain (wife Sharon), Shannon Carter, Tasha Carter-Ward (husband B. Ward), Henry Farris Jr. (wife Chellsie), Michael Farris and Dreden Farris St. Clair; and a host of nieces and nephews; and grandchildren.
He is preceded in death by his father: Lawrence Farris Sr.; daughter: Diana Farris; and a brother: Lawrence Farris Jr.

Henry and my dad were very good friends for many years. I can remember Henry coming by on his bike when I was a young kid. He was the nicest guy you could ever ask for, do anything for anyone. Henry will be missed by so many! Rest easy and ride hard my friend!!
