Zachary Farnham, his son, shared on Facebook, saying:

This is the information for my Dad’s services. My Dad would want nothing more than for the community to come together and celebrate his life and, it would mean the world to our family for everyone to come join us. The ceremony will be held at 6:00pm and the reception will immediately follow and will take place in the cafeteria. Anyone who has played sports with my Dad’s, please wear your applicable jerseys and for everyone else, we will be wearing button-up flannels to remember my Dad’s favorite outfit.

His legacy will live on in the people he coached, the family he loved, and the community he uplifted.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to Justin Kane Farnham’s family, friends, and well-wishers.
