Gary Manos Farmer, 58, of Hilliard, passed away Monday, July 22 at his residence. Mr. Farmer was preceded in death by his parents Jake and Mary Farmer. Anyone that met Gary (aka Paco) enjoyed being around him and loved him. He loved to hunt and enjoyed the outdoors. He was the type of man to do anything for anybody who needed a hand. He was a great provider for his family and loved ones, and was an awesome dad to his son, Manos. He retired from General Electric after over 35 years of service. Survivors include his son Manos Farmer (Erica Bullard); his only granddaughter, Rilee Farmer; a sister Onita Nutter (Kelley), two brothers, Jesse and Brad Farmer and his longtime friend and "brother"--John T as Paco lovingly called him, Johnny Pickett (Wanda) and Johnny's family, as well as a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews and friends. Also, mourning his passing are his girlfriend, Sara Wilson and his son's mother, Winnie Farmer. Graveside funeral services will be held at Jacksonville Memory Gardens Cemetery Thursday, July 25 at 10a.m. with visitation at the cemetery one hour prior to service.
