Eddie Farmer

Eddie Farmer, age 70, passed away on January 20, 2026, in Ocala, Florida. He was born on July 6, 1955, in Kentucky, and lived a life shaped by dedication, quiet strength, and a love that endured beyond all measure. For more than fifty years, Eddie worked as an auto mechanic, a craft that reflected who he was at his core—steady, skilled, and deeply committed. He loved all things cars, from the rumble of an engine to the satisfaction of fixing what was broken. His hands told the story of a lifetime of honest work, and his knowledge was something he freely shared with anyone willing to listen. For Eddie, mechanics was not just a profession; it was a language through which he cared for the world. At home, Eddie was a pillar—dependable, protective, and deeply loving. Those closest to him knew that his love was shown through action: fixing, building, providing, and always being there when it mattered most. His presence brought a sense of safety and calm, and his devotion to his family never wavered. At the heart of Eddie’s life was his beloved wife, Rosemary Farmer. Together they shared thirty-five years of marriage, moving through life in step with one another. Their bond was a quiet dance—sometimes playful, sometimes steadfast, always enduring. What one began, the other completed; what one carried, the other supported. Though separated briefly in passing, their love remains eternal and everlasting, reunited now beyond this life. Eddie was preceded in death by his mother, Tildia Smith; his father, John Tye Farmer; his brothers, Wade Farmer and Wayne Farmer; and his sisters, Barbara Farmer and Edith Farmer. He is survived by his daughters, Melissa Farmer, Heather Farmer, Billie Jo Dewalt, and Brenda Moore. He also leaves behind his grandchildren, Krystal Hartzell, Marissa Dewalt, Logan Dewalt, Whitney Wise, Dale Wise Jr., and Terry Wise, as well as several great-grandchildren, great-nieces, and great-nephews who will carry his legacy forward. Private services were held at the family home, honoring Eddie in a way that reflected his wishes—surrounded by love, remembrance, and the quiet strength that defined his life. Eddie Farmer’s legacy lives on in the family he cherished, the work he took pride in, and the love story that continues, forever intertwined with Rosemary’s.
