Jeffrey Parker Farfour's Obituary
Jeffrey Parker Farfour, 62, of Weddington, North Carolina, passed away on November 10, 2024, at Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center. A memorial service to celebrate and honor his life will be held on Saturday, November 23, at 2:00 PM at Richfield Baptist Church in Richfield, North Carolina.
Jeff was born on June 2, 1962, in Goldsboro, North Carolina, to the late Michaux Joseph Farfour and Frankie Shaver Farfour. He was predeceased by his only sibling, Steve Farfour.
Known for his warm heart and magnetic personality, Jeff had a unique way of leaving a lasting impression on everyone he met. His humor and charm created joy wherever he went, making each moment spent with him unforgettable.
A dedicated, hardworking, and respected figure in the seafood industry, Jeff humbly and humorously described his work by saying, “I sell fish.” Beyond his professional life, he deeply valued the friendships he formed with his “seafood buddies,” who became more like family over the years.
An outdoor and passionate car enthusiast, Jeff found joy in skeet shooting, target practice, range shooting, tennis, family trips, spending quality time with his family, and unforgettable outings to “the country,” a place he fondly called home. Jeff cherished these moments, which became treasured family traditions.
Jeff is survived by his loving wife, Kelly Watson Farfour; his son, Parker Farfour, and his daughter-in-law, Cassy Farfour; and his daughter, Madison Farfour. He also leaves behind his beloved pets, Gizmo and Bruddy.
Jeff’s legacy of humor, generosity, and unwavering love will continue to inspire all who knew him. He will be remembered as a devoted husband, proud father, and loyal friend, whose vibrant spirit enriched countless lives and will forever be in our hearts.
