William Farrar Obituary

1973 ~ 2016
William Kenneth Farrar III, age 42, passed away tragically on August 12, 2016, doing what he loved most. He was with family, his soul mate Heather Farley Farrar and his pride and joy, his son William Kenneth Farrar IV. Will lived life to the fullest. He loved the outdoors and was an avid hunter.
Will was born on December 17, 1973 in Marietta Georgia, to William Kenneth Farrar Jr, and Julia Pope Farrar. He was the first boy in a family of four girls. He was curious and mischievous from the day he was born. Will attended Marietta High School in Marietta, Georgia and graduated from Arapahoe high School in Centennial, Colorado. Will attended BYU-Hawaii, where he played tennis.
Will's heart was as big as his smile and his laugh was larger than life.
Will's life changed forever the day he met Heather. She was his soul mate. Will married the love of his life Heather Farley on August 7, 2004. They were inseparable; together they traveled the world, built a business, laughed and loved fully. He left no words unspoken; he was a generous, loving and kind man who was adored by so many. He often said that he had absolutely no regrets in his life and cherished his sweet Heather beyond all else. Their life changed incredibly with the arrival of their son on June 21, 2016. The moment Will laid eyes on "lil buddy", he was smitten. Will's big heart grew even bigger. We have never seen him so happy.
Will's friends and family were his life and he was fiercely loyal. He was always there for anyone in need and wanted nothing in return, to say he will be missed is an understatement. Will is simply irreplaceable. We will never be the same and his family and friends are heartbroken at his sudden loss. We know our mom, Bella, who preceded him in death, wrapped her arms around him and received him with so much joy and love.
Will is survived by his beautiful, loving wife: Heather Farley Farrar and son William Kenneth Farrar IV. His Father; William K. Farrar Jr., his mother who preceded him in death, Julia Caroline Pope Farrar (Bella). His siblings; Stephanie Leigh Kjar (Ron), Sally Anne Farrar (Brenda), Susan Lynn Ogden (Kelly), Julia Meredith Anderson (Clayton), and Benjamin Drew Farrar (Heather). His nieces and nephews; Alex (Emily), Kelcie (Kyle), Madison (Bryce), Connor, Will, Ben (Nia), Drew, Nicholas, Caroline, Parker, Hannah, Bradley, Maggie, Christian, Evelyn, Ian, and his great nieces and nephews; Bella, Beau, and Beckett. Will is survived by so many friends whom he also called family.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday, August 16, 2016 at 11:00 a.m., at the Draper Utah Suncrest Stake Center, 14919 S. Eagle Crest Dr. Draper Utah. Friends may visit with family Monday from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Anderson & Sons Mortuary Lone Peak Chapel 6141 W. 11000 N Highland Utah. Interment, Highland Utah City Cemetery.

My heart is broken and there are no words to make this pain go away. I loved Will like a brother and will miss him so much. Loved his humor like no one else's. Will was bigger than life and no matter how hard you wanted to be mad at him, you couldn't do anything but love and laugh with him. Will-I will see you again and we'll cause all kinds of trouble again!! Love you

I love you Will and Heather and Little Will. My heart aches and is broken. Madi and I love you all so much will do anything to help you out. Will was one of the most selfless person I ever knew. He always wanted you to feel happy and loved. He always wanted you to smile and laugh and feel included. So many memories with you. I hope that I can be as loving and giving as you one day. Thank for everything you have taught me.

Love Bryce Ayoso
