Rodney Craig Farmer was born March 31, 1955 in Denver, Colorado to Ivan W. and Margaret J.(Harrison) Farmer and passed away August 5, 2025 in his home in Agenda, Kansas at the age of 70 years.
Rodney graduated high school in the Denver Metro Area in 1973. Upon graduation, Rodney began working at Eagle Claw Fishing Tackle Co. and retired in 2012 after almost 40 years of service. This job spurred Rodney’s lifelong love of fishing. A hobby he passed down to his kids.
On November 15, 1975, Rodney married Nancy Lynn Brown and to this union, two children were born, Julie and Chris. Rodney and Nancy made their home in Agenda, Kansas in later years in which Rodney began to volunteer with NCK CASA and helped serve many children in need. Rodney could always be seen sporting a NCK CASA T-Shirt and visiting with anyone who’d take the time to listen.
