Ronnie L. Farrow Sr., 66, Andover

Ronnie L. Farrow, Sr., 66, passed away on October 23, 2025 at his home.

Mr. Farrow was born in Muskagee, Okla. on April 27, 1959 to Dallas L. and Geraldine (McKnatt). On July 4, 2021 he married LouAnn (Buchanan-Miller) who preceded him on April 11, 2024.

Throughout his life, Ronnie was a self-employed repairman who worked on small engines. He primarily fixed lawnmowers, weedwhackers and motorcycles. He dabbled in landscaping, mowing lawns and cutting wood during fire season.

Ronnie is survived by his children, Chasity (Billy) Rowland of Wellsville, Ronnie “Bubba” (Heather) Farrow Jr. of Wellsville, Ronnie (Stephanie) Farrow Jr. of North Tonawanda, Brianna Farrow of North Tonawanda, and Candria Farrow of Okla.; grandchildren, Emily Rowland, Holden Perry, and Tyler Farrow; his ex-wife Cathy Farrow of Wellsville whom he remained friends with; and his lifelong best friend Jeff Wilson of Wellsville.

He was predeceased in death by his parents and a daughter, Maranda Farrow.

Ronnie had a sense of humor and liked to make others laugh, he teased his kids often. He loved the family dogs and spoiled them with small treats when he saw them.  A steady presence, he was “always just there,” spending time each day at his son’s house to chat about life and the little things.

He loved to ride his Harley, especially in the summertime, alongside his son, Bubba. He said he liked the feeling of wind on his face. When he wasn’t on his bike, Ronnie found peace exploring the back roads in his truck with music playing on the radio.

Ronnie could always be found tinkering with something, and in classic fashion, his last project was his sons motorcycle engine spread out across his kitchen table.

Visitation will take place on Saturday (November 1) from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. at Baker-Swan Funeral Home in Wellsville. Per his wishes, Ronnie will take his “final ride” on his Harley with his son in the summertime.
