Paul H. Farr Jr. was born on January 28, 1941, in Jefferson Davis County to Paul H. Farr Sr. and Thelma Williams Farr, where he spent his formative years and laid the foundation for a life characterized by hard work, dedication, and a love for family. A proud graduate of Prentiss High School, Paul was known for his outstanding athletic abilities, showcasing his talents on the football field at Pearl River Junior College, and later continued his education at the University of Southern Mississippi.

For 32 years, Paul dedicated himself to a career at Shell Oil, where he rose to the position of Drilling Foreman before retiring.

Paul's love for family was evident in his decision to raise his family in Jefferson Davis County, later moving to the Brandon area to be closer to his grandchildren. Known as Granddad to his grandchildren, they were a source of immense joy for him, and he cherished every moment spent with them.

As a passionate outdoorsman, Paul enjoyed hunting and fishing, often participating in fishing tournaments at Toledo Bend Reservoir. He was as an avid golfer, and enjoyed the relaxation and companionship he found on the greens.

Paul was a member of the Prentiss Presbyterian Church.

Paul H Farr Jr. will be remembered fondly by all who knew him, particularly for his unwavering love for his family and his strong spirit.

Paul was preceded in death by his parents, Paul H. Farr Sr. and Thelma Williams Farr Baxter, his stepfather, Dr. Jim Baxter, and his sister, Betty Kruger.

Those left to cherish his memory include his wife of 62 years Carolyn Farr of Brandon; son Kervin Farr (Angela) of New Zealand; daughter Phaedra Farr Hailey (B.J.) of Brandon; grandchildren Paul Jackson Hailey, Paul Jacob Farr, Rebecca Farr and Elizabeth Hailey; great grandchildren Victoria Farr, Lorraine Farr and an expected great grandson later this year.
