"I fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith.” Harold Wayne Farmer did just that and crossed the heavenly finish line on Thursday, August 27, 2020 surrounded by his wife, daughters, and grandsons. 

Harold was born in San Angelo, Texas on February 9, 1940 and lived the majority of his 80 years there. He graduated from San Angelo High School, joined the Army National Guard, served active duty during the Berlin Crisis, married the love of his life, Darlene Johnson, and had two very special girls. He worked for GTE for many years in Ozona and Brady but moved back home near family and friends for the remainder of his working days and was employed by SACE and ML Leddy's. 

Harold loved old cars, baseball, airplanes, hunting, antiques, woodworking, and flying, but his greatest love was FAMILY. His tremendous love was demonstrated through his gentle acts of kindness his entire life. 

Harold was preceded in death by his parents, Sam and Daisy Farmer, his sister and brother-in-law Carlene and Paul English, his infant brother Bobby Ray, his mother and father-in-law Ossie Mae and Temple Johnson, and Uncle Jim (Hinshaw) a very special uncle.

During his “bonus years”, he experienced the joy of his great-grandchildren Ian and Pierce Arp. He is also survived by his little brother Sammy (Jeana) of San Angelo and numerous nieces and nephews. 

Throughout his journey, God placed earthly angels in his path; thank you Dr. Anderton, Dr. Parhizgar, Tom, Lori, and Michelle. As he prepared to finish his race, he sent more angels - Dena and Becca.
