Bert Joseph Farris

October 12, 1936 — June 13, 2024

Bert Joseph Farris, born October 12, 1936, to Robert Wesley Farris and Gladys (Kirkbride) Craig, passed away June 12. Bert grew up in LaGrange where he developed his love of hunting and fishing. After high school, he enlisted in the U.S. Army where he trained as a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne. He later attended Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina where he met his future wife, Ellie.

Bert and Ellie moved to Cheyenne in 1961 where they raised their three sons. Bert worked as a mechanic for Bob Bruner Motors, Tyrrell Chevrolet and Taylor Pontiac; he later worked at Ringsby Trucking. Bert eventually founded his own trapping and fur trading business.

Bert spent his “free time” playing men’s fastpitch and slow pitch softball and participating in local theater. He was a frequent fixture at the softball complex in Cheyenne.

Bert was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Ellie, and his brother Larry Harris. He is survived by his sons Tony (Tracy Taylor) Farris, Charlie (Arika) Farris, Joe (Otty) Farris all of Cheyenne; grandchildren Christian (Heather) Farris, Anthony (Kiera) Farris, Danielle (Zach) Satton all of Denver; Cody Farris of Cheyenne, Devany (Ryan Zuniga) Farris of Denver, Cheyanne Farris of South Dakota, and Skye Farris of Cheyenne; great-grandchildren Lucas and Logan Farris of Denver and Bexley Ayala of South Dakota; sisters Doris (Lou) Snider, Marjorie (Paul) Kissel, and Sue (Dale) Sands; brother Mike (Olga) Craig.
