Vernon John Farrow Jr.

Our dear father and husband, Vernon John Farrow, Jr., passed away peacefully on January 4, 2021 at the age of 79. Vernon is survived by his beloved wife of 60 years, Norma G. Miller Farrow, his son Kevin & wife Debbie, their five children and five grandchildren; his daughter Kathy & husband Dave, their six children and one grandchild; and his son Brandon & wife Bobbi and their four children.

Vernon was born in 1941 in Holbrook, Arizona. He lived in Hawaii, California, Colorado & finally,

Gilbert, Arizona. In 1960 he married his high school sweetheart and Miss Mesa, Norma Miller.

He impressed anyone who knew him with his wit, astounding intellect, sense of humor and always being sharply dressed. Vernon was very competitive and endeavored to win at anything he participated in. He loved to play softball, tennis and was an avid golfer. His enthusiasm for life was contagious. He was the Planning Commissioner for the City of Carlsbad, CA and had a deep passion for political history and government. Vernon was a life long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was instrumental in bringing the gospel to many.

Some of Vernon’s greatest accomplishments were within the walls of his own home. Vernon was a natural and captivating teacher and mentor to many. His children, grandchildren, and great-grand children will be eternally blessed by his wisdom and the many truths he taught. We will miss his advice, competitiveness and deep love of family and friends. We are comforted by the knowledge that families are forever.
