Anthony McFarland, age 56, of Corbin, KY, passed away on Monday, August 25, 2025, at his home.
Born in Temple, TX, he was the son of the late James “Mack” McFarland and Barbara Lawson McFarland. Anthony worked at Central Automotive Supply for many years, where he wore many hats and was always willing to lend a hand wherever needed. He was a member of Hugh Harris Masonic Lodge No. 938 and deeply valued the brotherhood he shared there.
Anthony cherished the companionship of his beloved dog, Willow. In his free time, he enjoyed working on puzzles, playing games, and cheering on the Cincinnati Reds and the University of Kentucky. Above all, he was devoted to his family and strived every day to be the best husband and father he could be.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Jason “Tank” McFarland, and his grandparents, Lonnie “Lonzo” and Cecil McFarland.
He is survived by his loving wife of 37 years, Saundra Pierce McFarland, and his daughter, Laura Beth McFarland, who will forever carry his love and legacy.
At his request, no public services are planned.
