Jonathan Farrar Obituary
Mr. Farrer was born March 15, 1988 in Lewsiville to Melissa Lory-Gaffney and Jared Brockington. Adopted as an infant by Don and Ruby Farrer, he was raised in Grayson County. He attended schools in Sherman and Howe, and graduated from S&S Consolidated High School in 2006. Jonathan had a special love for all things mechanical, and could troubleshoot, disassemble and repair nearly any motor or machine. It had been a life-long dream to learn to fly airplanes, likely as much for the chance to work on a new type of mechanical marvel, as to enjoy the skies.
Left to celebrate Jonathan's life in memories are: parents, Don and Ruby Farrer; twin-brother, Anthony Farrer of Florida; sister, Alicia Farrer of Flagstaff, Ariz; two half-brothers: Tristan and Suttun Lory; birth mother, Melissa Lory-Gaffney of The Colony, Texas; birth father, Jared Brockington of Louisiana; maternal grandparents, Ellen and Dick Cassidy of Addison, Texas; several aunts, uncles, cousins and a host of friends.
The Farrer family wishes to express their tremendous gratitude to Rev. Danny Woods and the congregation of West Sherman Baptist Church for their prayers, comfort and support during this unsettling time. Also, a huge thank you to the Order of the Easter Star 182 of Sherman for their support.
During this period prior to funeral services, much of the family will be gathered at the home of Michael and Clarissa Doty at 182 Stark Lane in Howe.
All arrangements are under the direction of Dannel Funeral Home in Sherman.

I am sorry to hear about the loss of Jonathan Farrar. No doubt this time is very difficult for the family. God in his word promises that soon "he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." May God provide strength and comfort through the family, friends and his Word.
