On May 20, 2019, at the age of 59, Jerry “Bug” Farris peacefully passed away after a long battle with illness.
Jerry was born on Nov. 17, 1959 in Ray, Arizona to Ellis and Patsy Farris. He was preceded in death by his parents and oldest brother, Dennis Farris.
He is survived by his brother, Jeff, and sister-in-law, Brenda, of Queen Creek, as well as several nieces and nephews.
Jerry Bug will be most remembered for his success in the rodeo world where he won multiple championships.
His wishes were to have no services, so we will honor that and pay our respects quietly as a family.
