He was born October 1, 1948 in Fullerton, California, the son of Cecil O. and Helen Maxine (Annin) Farmer.

Cliff was a car dealer and owner of Farmer's Auto Sales in Lincoln, Arkansas for over twenty-six years. He and his wife, LaVena ran it until 2010, and then they retired and moved to Fayetteville. He loved to travel, and he and LaVena covered every state in the United States and up into Canada several times. He loved antique cars and going to the classic car shows and auctions. He also loved working with his cattle on the farm, going fishing on his boat, and dancing with his wife at the Senior Center.

Cliff was a loving husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, and friend. He was a diligent worker and was so kind and forgiving. He will always be remembered in our hearts.

Cliff and I became friends because of our common interests and his visits to the lake. He loved to fish, and we had quality conversations when he visited Shell Knob. He had a very strong character and endured much pain in his last few years with illness. I will miss him. May God give comfort to Lavena during this sorrowful time. Rest in peace Cliff.

Your friend,

Dave

I'm sorry for your loss and he was a good man

I am so sorry to learn of this. I have only known Cliff but a few years, but he has certainly touched my own life through doing business with him in that short time. I remember how he would come into our store, and he amd my dad would talk for a long time about the old antique cars. When I lost my dad two years ago, it was a blessing to me to see Cliff at his memorial service. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during these tough days, and he will certainly be missed here as well, but I am glad to know that Cliff is with the Lord today. ????
