Mike was born November 2, 1957, in Ravenna, Ohio, to parents Jack Marvin and Rema Augustine (Shrewsbury) Farmer. He graduated from Southeast High School in 1976. Michael was a hard worker who retired in November from Kennametal Inc. in Solon.
Mike loved spending time with his family and friends. He also likes to fish and sit on his “beer drinkin’”porch. His main passion was riding his Harley. He & Shari went on many trips across the country and throughout the area. Sometimes just for ice cream.

Michael will be missed by his surviving siblings: Keith (Sheila) Farmer, Danny (Linda) Farmer, and Brenda (Dwain) Miller, along with many loving nieces and nephews, especially the ones he referred to as “his kids” Tracy, Brian, and Jenn and their families. Mike also leaves behind his dear Husky companion, Maverick.
Michael was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Skip Farmer.
