Edwin Farr Obituary
Farr
January 1, 1955 - May 6, 2022
Lexington, South Carolina - Ed flew his last flight on May 6, 2022. Born in Columbia, S.C., Ed was the son of the late Daphne Harmon and Clifford Alton Farr. A graduate of Hammond Academy, Ed attended the College of Charleston. In 1979, Ed founded Heritage Roofing Company. Ed is survived by his wife of forty years, Carol McConnell of Orangeburg, his children - who he was so proud of - daughter Ashley (Chad) Zimmerman, son Edwin (Carrie) Farr and his grandchildren - Harmon Zimmerman, Henry Zimmerman and Warren Farr. He is also survived by his brother-in-law Gene McConnell (Caroline), nieces and nephews. Ed was so talented and loved a project. He also enjoyed playing guitar and most importantly - he loved flying. Props, as he was known and loved by his grandchildren, cherished his time he spent with them and his beloved dogs, CoCo and Bo. Ed always had a smile on his face and a funny story to tell. He never met a stranger and was always willing to help anyone. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 pm on May 25, 2022 at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Lexington, S.C. with visitation following in the Parish Life Center. Memorials may be made to St. Peter's Lutheran Church, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, or a charity of one's choice.

Carol,Edwin,and Ashley,
I was sick to hear the news about Ed. I loved him and considered him to be a great friend. He was one of the nicest people I have known. He was always kind to me and I always enjoyed being around him. I am very sorry I was not at the funeral to see y´all but I had Thursday written down by mistake-Very sorry! Y´all are very much in my thoughts and prayers.

I had the pleasure of playing football for two years with Ed. One of the nicest people I knew and a very under rated player. God speed Sir- you will be missed by so many.
