Born on July 6, 1974, in Winfield, Illinois, J. was the son of Michael and Ann Farrell.

J. had a lifelong passion for sports, especially football, and shared that passion through years of coaching in the Mineral Area Youth Football League.

For the past twenty years, J. was a dedicated employee at Home Depot in Festus. Outside of work, he enjoyed mountain biking, skiing, and cheering on his beloved Denver Broncos. He was also a proud supporter of Farmington Football.
