“We’ve got some problems but we’re going to work through that,” said Farrer in a Facebook video posted that day. “We’re going to Houston on Monday and we’re going to move forward. I know the Lord’s got it no matter what. I’ve been told I was a miracle that I should have been gone a year ago. I see this stuff and what He does, and it doesn’t always end like I want it to. I’d like to go back to normal. I’ve been on chemo since February 2 last year and radiation.”

During the video, an emotional Farrer admitted to being tired and then thanked the Lord for the cancer.

“It’s hard to thank Him for it,” said Farrer. “But it’s not because it’s brought me so much closer to Him. And guess what, it’s brought a lot of other people closer to Him too. So, He’s used it and what’s better than being used by the Lord, right? If He’ll use something that I’m going to through to help somebody else or somebody get closer to Him then it’s all been worth it, amen. This ain’t about me, this ain’t about you – this is all about Him and His glory.” In a later video he shared on March 19, he stressed the importance of friendship in his life and said the Lord has blessed him with so many friends. He talked about the fundraiser and that he was overwhelmed by the love and that the best part of the night was getting to see all the people although he only was able to visit

“I feel blessed beyond all measure,” said Farrer as he closed with Proverbs 17:17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.

Weak and barely able to get around, Farrer would not be denied a final moment on the field as his daughter had “Senior Night” for the Tom Bean Lady Cats. He made it on the field for that moment and just like as a young Bulldog wearing the number 75, he left it all there. A few hours later, he passed away.
