fisherman and had recently developed a passion for disc golf; he
enjoyed spending time honing his skills with fellow members of the
National Disc Golf Association; and

heart, and he leapt into action whenever anyone needed help,
however small or large the task; he demonstrated steadfast loyalty
to his lifelong best friend, Colton Stroud, and devotion to his
fiancee, Karmin Brown, with whom he shared a loving relationship
for the past five years; and
WHEREAS, Daryl Farmer treasured the time he spent in the
company of his family and friends, and those he leaves behind will
