Our family lost a pillar on January 1, 2025 when Don Michael Farmer (Mike) passed away peacefully at Providence Memorial Hospital in Santa Rosa, CA. He was 88 years old. He is survived by his 4 children, Don Gregory Farmer, Michaelyn Farmer, Corby Rhodes and Brad Farmer. He also has 9 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. He was a resident of Santa Rosa for over 29 years, and loved the area. He is a retired player of the NBA from 1958 - 1966. He most notably played as a starter with Bill Russell and KC Jones on the 1956 NCAA National Championship team with the University of San Francisco (USF). He will truly be missed by his family and friends.

June 9, 2025

We just learned of Mr. Farmer's passing. Susan's father, Joseph Stenson, was Mike's coach at Richmond High School. When he spoke of Mike it was always very clear that the person he was was much more important than the basketball player.
