Stephen Lee "Roho" Farrar, 72, passed away on Friday, November 7, 2025. He was born on August 10, 1953 in Atlanta, Georgia, to the late Samuel E. Farrar and Nelia H. Quinn.

Stephen was an ordained preacher. He traveled many miles- preaching all over Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, and North Carolina. He was also a traveling singer, alongside his wife, Brenda- In the Gallilee Singers. He spread the gospel everywhere he went either in gospel singing or in his preaching.
