Chad Farrar

Chad Farrar, age 45, of Garnett, Kansas, passed away on Friday, July 18, 2025.

He was born on September 10, 1979, in Topeka, Kansas, alongside his twin brother Heath, to Dennis and Nancy (Pontious) Farrar.

Chad attended school in the Washburn Rural district, where he was active in various sports and developed a lifelong love for athletics. That passion stayed with him throughout his life-he especially enjoyed watching football and was a devoted Kansas City Chiefs fan.

On July 7, 2007, Chad was united in marriage to Robin Swonger in Paola, Kansas. Together they were blessed with two children, Elizabeth and Austin. Chad could often be found cheering from the sidelines at their baseball and softball games, always their biggest supporter.

Chad worked in construction, primarily in concrete work, dedicating much of his life to the trade. He had a strong work ethic and took pride in what he built. He also spent countless hours working on home improvement projects-not just for his own family, but especially for his mother, to whom he was deeply devoted.

Chad had a generous heart and a love for life that touched everyone around him. He enjoyed fishing, riding 4-wheelers with friends and family, and lending a helping hand wherever it was needed. His kindness, humor, and warm spirit will be missed dearly by all who knew and loved him.

Chad was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Eldon and Betty (Elliott) Pontious of Garnett; paternal grandparents Hubert and Juanita (Cunningham) Farrar of Garnett; father Dennis Farrar; and uncle Gary Farrar.

He is survived by his wife Robin (Swonger) Farrar of the home; children, Elizabeth Marie "Lizzy" and Austin James Farrar of the home; mother, Nancy Pontious Farrar of Topeka, Kansas; sisters, Stacey Farrar Noll of Nortonville, Kansas, Kristin Farrar Butscle of Topeka, Kansas; twin brother, Heath Wayne Farrar and wife Brenna of Overland Park, Kansas; numerous nieces and nephews; great- nieces and nephews; paternal aunt Debbie Farrar Hirt; maternal aunt Linda L. Pontious Umbarger; and many cherished family and friends.

Funeral services will be held at 10:30 A.M. on Monday, July 28th, 2025 at Garnett United Methodist Church, Garnett, Kansas. Chad's family will greet friends the afternoon before on Sunday, July 27th, from 3:00 to 5:00 P.M. at the Garnett United Methodist Church. Burial will take place at Garnett Cemetery.
