Harold Farley Obituary

Harold Farley, passed away on December 21, 2025, at the age of 83 in Lakeland, Florida. Born on January 26, 1942, in Lillybrook, West Virginia, Harold's life was marked by dedication, service, and a deep love for his family and community.

Harold is survived by his beloved wife of 62 years, Carolyn Farley, who has been his steadfast companion through life's many journeys. Together, they raised a family that includes their three devoted sons, Harold Eugene Farley, David Farley, and John Farley. Harold's legacy continues through his loving grandchildren, Sara Farley, Heather Knight, and Joshua Farley, and his cherished great-grandchildren, Charlotte Knight and Greyson. He also leaves behind his caring siblings, Peggy Freeman, Yvonne Worrell, and Kenneth Farley.

Harold was a skilled machinist at Southern Machinery, where his work ethic and expertise were highly valued. His commitment to service was further exemplified by his honorable tenure in the United States Navy, Army, and National Guard. Harold's patriotism and dedication to his country were unwavering, and his contributions to the armed forces will be remembered with respect and gratitude.

An avid hunter and fisherman, Harold found solace and joy in the great outdoors. His passion for nature was a testament to his appreciation for life's simple pleasures and the beauty of the world around him. Harold's faith was an integral part of his life, and as a member of Northside Baptist Church, he found strength and fellowship among his church family.

As we bid farewell to Harold, we celebrate a life well-lived and honor the enduring impact he has made on his loved ones and community. His spirit will continue to guide us, and his love will forever be the light that leads us forward. Harold Farley's journey on earth has concluded, but his story will be told for generations to come.
