Mitchell Farley Obituary
Mitchell's creative spirit found expression through his love of art, tattooing, and music-passions that shaped his identity and left a lasting impression on those who knew him. Whether through a sketchbook or a tattoo machine, Mitchell channeled his energy into art that spoke to the individuals he tattooed.
He was an all-star athlete at Stockdale High School. After he graduated high school, he enlisted in The United States Army where he successfully completed boot camp.
Mitchell is lovingly remembered by his son Korben Sears; his mother Teresa Berrigan and stepfather Timothy Berrigan; his father Jeffery Farley and stepmother Vickie Michael; his sisters Amanda Crossan, Tiffany Greenan, Jessica Lessley and brother in law Jason Lessley, sister Stormy Dawn Farley; stepsister Meranda Hatler; his brother Eric Gamber; grandparents Diane and Paul Allen; grandfather Kenneth Wayne Farley; uncle Richard Garland, as well as numerous nieces and nephews who will carry on his memory.
Mitchell will live on in the hearts of those who loved and knew him. A Celebration of Life will be held on August 14, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Kern River Family Mortuary 1900 N. Chester Ave
