August 15, 1953 – November 23, 2023

Richard Alan Farmer, born on August 15, 1953, peacefully passed away on November 23, 2023. He spent his formative years in Bayside, Ontario before finding his place in Kamloops during the 1980s, a city he called home for the remainder of his life. His impactful contributions include co-founding the N/A Narcotics Anonymous, an endeavor he passionately dedicated himself to during his midlife. Even in the face of health challenges like a stroke and heart attack, Richard displayed unwavering resilience, overcoming numerous obstacles with remarkable determination.

In 2013, a beautiful reunion unfolded as Richard welcomed his younger brother, Jeff, into his home, bridging a three-decade gap with warmth. Their shared time was filled with profound moments, and Richard generously imparted his wisdom, leaving an enduring mark on Jeff’s life. In a heartfelt message, Jeff expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thank you, bro – love Jeff.”

Richard is survived by his loving brothers, Jeffrey Farmer, residing in Kamloops, B.C., and Bruce Farmer from Wasaga Beach, ON.
