Alan Scott Farris

Alan Scott Farris, born on October 2, 1961, in Port Hueneme, California, passed away on Friday, January 24, 2025, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at the age of 63. He leaves behind a legacy infused with love, laughter, and a spirit of adventure that will be cherished by his family and friends.

Alan's passions were deeply rooted in the outdoors, where he found joy in hunting and fishing. His affinity for raising Dalmatians and his interest in husbandry further exemplified his love for animals and nature. A multifaceted individual, Alan also embraced modern entertainments such as video gaming and enjoyed capturing the essence of family life through the lens of his camcorder. His penchant for humor brought light to every gathering, as he was known to play friendly pranks that showcased his jovial spirit.

Family was at the heart of Alan's life. He took immense pride in being a father to his children: Amber Denise Garcia and her husband Hermelindo Garcia Jr., of San Fernando, CA, Brent Alan Farris and his wife Monica of Tulsa, OK; Caleb Scott Farris of Pryor, OK; Dalan Michael Farris of Salina, OK. The bond he shared with his children was only deepened by his roles as a grandfather and great-grandfather. He is survived by his beloved grandchildren: Diego Rafael Garcia and Lizeth Chavez, Daymien Hermelindo Garcia, Lukas Cristian Garcia, Riley Robin Farris, and Lorelai Summer Farris, along with his great-grandchild, Athena Linda Garcia.

Alan is also survived by his brother, Brian Farris and his wife Amanda of Bear, DE; sister, Cheri Farris-Andrews of Tulsa, OK; cousin, Shelly Blossom; and Aunt Doris McMahan. The mother of his children, Kelly Denise Farris, remains a significant part of his legacy.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Janice and Jerry Farris, affectionately known as Mema and Papa, and his best friend, Chris Blossom. Alan's vibrant presence will be profoundly missed, but his spirit will continue to live on in the love of his family and the memories they hold dear.
