Michael Timothy Farber, a cherished resident of Savannah, Georgia, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, at the age of 65. Born on Thursday, February 18, 1960, in Rockville Centre, New York, Michael was known for his gentle spirit, artistic talent, and dedication to his craft as a painter, self taught guitarist, love for trains, and the Beatles.

Throughout his life, Michael brought color and beauty into the lives of those around him, both through his professional work and his personal relationships. His vibrant personality and creative vision left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

We find peace knowing that Michael is in heaven with his beloved parents, William Whitney Farber Sr. and Gladys Farber; a brother, William Whitney Farber Jr. of South Carolina; and his life partner, Marcia Collins. His legacy lives on in the countless memories and cherished moments he shared with family and friends.

Michael is survived by his sisters, Patricia Maryon of Florida, Kathleen Burnham of Georgia; two nieces; four nephews; and many great nieces and nephews that he loved dearly.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
