Jimmie Gene Farrand

Jimmie Gene Farrand, 87, passed away on September 19, 2025, at his home. Jim was born on August 13, 1938, to Eugene and Ethel Farrand in Boonville, IN.
He was a cherished husband, father, and grandfather who loved his family very much and never missed a chance to tell them how lucky he felt to have them.
He lived a wonderful life full of family, friends, and activities he loved. He was a champion arm wrestler and archer, a field captain for Black Hawk Bowmen for years, and an avid deer hunter. He found great joy in yardwork, firearms, and desserts.
Jim graduated from Boonville High School, where he was a member of the "Hard as nails, tough as bricks, Boonville class of '56," and in his younger years, he was employed by Tin-Herr in Boonville and later traveled working in power line construction. He also worked in multiple positions for Inland Container in Evansville for more than 44 years.
