My father, Thomas Bartlett Farmer, was a wild old country boy who truly lived life on his own terms. He loved fishing, hunting, and spending time outdoors, always chasing adventure and making memories. His favorite song was “A Country Boy Can Survive,” and he always said that “Fire and Gasoline” was his and my mom’s song—they were a fiery pair, and he’d joke that they just didn’t mix well. Thomas was known for his free spirit, his sense of humor, and his ability to make friends wherever he went.
Losing him has left our family devastated. We’re struggling to figure out how to bring him home and give him the burial he deserves, especially since we barely make enough to cover our bills each month. The costs of traveling across the country and arranging his funeral are overwhelming, and we’re reaching out for help from anyone who knew and loved him, or who understands what it means to lose someone so important. Any support will go directly toward covering funeral expenses and helping us honor Thomas’s memory in the way he would have wanted.
We’re grateful for any help, whether it’s a donation or simply sharing our story. Thank you for helping us through this difficult time and for keeping Thomas’s spirit alive in your thoughts.
