Tim was born on April 24, 1930 in Lancaster, Texas to Addie Farris (Bingham) and Willie “Bill” Leroy Farris. After leaving school, he joined the United States Army. Upon completion of his enlistment, Tim would obtain his GED. He worked for many years as a Foreman and Maintenance Man in the Coal industry before retiring in the early 90’s. Retirement brought many new hobbies in his life. He enjoyed hunting when he could get away, fishing as often as possible, and traveling as much as he could. If a pastime could be mentioned, it would have been his love of the lottery. When he moved into the Thomas E. Creek VA Community Living Center, he found new joy in playing Bingo.

Tim is preceded in death by his son little Tim, and daughter Becky; parents, and three sisters. Those left to cherish Tim’s memory are his son Lawrence Farris and spouse Mindy, stepson Billy Warner, daughter Marla Farris-Holmes; five grandchildren, eight great grandchildren; brothers Leroy, Jerry Don, and Bill, sister Yvonne Hataway; and many other nieces, nephews, and loving family.
