Dear Wendy and family,

We are really saddened to learn of the recent passing of Farrel and our thoughts are with you all at this difficult time. I haven't seen Farrel since he was a little guy in Johannesburg. Judging from the memories that were sent in by his friends he certainly was a remarkable husband, father, son and brother. May the happy memories of the past be of some consolation to you all.

Lots of love from all of us,
Ivan Zarenda and family, Toronto, Canada

I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Farrel was an exceptional person who made everyone feel welcome. I have great memories of him from school on and off the rugby field. I wish his whole family a long life. 

To the Buchman family,

This is heartbreaking news. No one can even imagine what you are all going through. Fafs had such a kind and peaceful heart which will never be forgotten.

He will always be with you, shining his light, like he always did, but now from above.

Sending so much love, strength and hugs to all of you. 

So many wonderful memories with Farryl. 
I can't believe that he is no longer with us. 
Wishing a long life to the entire Buchman family. 

Travelling Europe with Fafs and living together in London was one of the highlights of my life. He was a really great friend and we had a tremendous amount of fun together. 

I look forward to talking to his son in a few years time and sharing stories of his dad and the positive impact he had on the world. 
Fafs, I will miss you my friend and I'm glad we got to reconnect recently.

Have happy memories of chilling with Farryl, he was such a peaceful guy, humble, fun to be around.  I'll always remember the good times we shared. Farryl, you'll be missed bud.  

Love and long life to Farryl's family.

Buchman family, our hearts are broken 💔. Wishing you all a long life and our deepest condolences. Farryl was a ray of light and a friend/brother to everyone. Wendy’s home was always open to her kids and their friends and I only have the fondest memories there and all over town with the Buchman brothers. To me those were “the good old days” that I’ll be talking about into my twilight years. Sending you all so much love and light during this difficult time and always. Rest In Peace Fafs. You will be missed. 

Soo many great memories of Farryl alot of incredible experiences we shared together growing up, Farryl had a great heart from an amazing upbringing, he was a great friend and I cannot believe he has gone, we spoke to him just last week.

I can't imagine the pain you are going through however saying he is in a better place in today's world is very true. I know words don't help much considering the pain you're in but we are all here for you.

I wish you a long life and will see you in Florida soon. 

Faf, we have years of memories, where do we begin? Was it partying like rock stars, bunking school, riding the motorcycles till we ran out of fuel, or calling eachother to see we doing ok in this crazy world. 
I have no answers, and I truely have no words except you were the true friend I could pick up a convo with years later and it felt like we saw each other yesterday. Thats true friendship. You were kind, funny and all round to me, amazing. Not just me but to tons of friends around the world you left a massive imprint. We will never forget you faf. Rest in peace with IVJ, try behave you two.. love you forever

Dearest Sheila, Gabe, and family,

I am heartbroken to hear about Farryl. You are in my thoughts and prayers from a far. Much love and strength in these times.

Love, Christine (Stamford CT)

To the Buchman Family; thinking of you all at this very emotional time. Wishing you strength and peace. So very sorry for your loss. 
Rest In Peace Farryl.  

Sheila, Gabe and the entire Buchman family.  We are devastated to hear about your loss.  Farryl was such a pleasure to be around, a great friend, husband and father. 
All our condolences,
The Solomon Family

Faz,

You were one of my closest friends and like a brother to me.  I miss our time back in Dallas watching rugby, Cowboys games and UFC together and we’d catch up once a week at a minimum.  I remember when you first got Slick and you brought him flea infested to my place and we had to get him cleaned up.  I remember we’d give each other hell over rugby results during the World Cup.  I remember you were the absolute worst at picking UFC fights and all I had to do was simply pick the other fighter and I’d win ... and you’d hate me for it.  

You then moved to FL and I later I’d fly out to your wedding.  The very next day I was to propose to my wife and yourself, your mom and Sheila joined us for a cruise down the intracoastal.  That would be the last time we would meet in person.

I’m glad we were able to FaceTime a few months ago and I’d get to meet Gabe, even if it was virtual and we spoke about one day our boys being able to play together.  It breaks my heart that we won’t get that opportunity here on Earth but we will one day my friend.

To a great father to Gabe and Slick, husband to Sheila, son to Mama Buchman, brother to Au and Shel, and friend to us all.  We will miss you Faz ...

-AO

Dear Sheila, Gabe, Wendy, Lee, Auryn, and Sheldyn,

My absolute sincerest condolences on this unbelievable loss. Farryl was like a nephew and brother to me. He was a gift to all of us at work. I never pictured our lives without him.

The quote that I shared above are his words, taken from the last quote he posted on his Facebook page. These are words that I know he tried to lived by every day. I will try to live by them too and I will always think of him.

Sincerely.
-Mike Haldas
