David M. Farrow

David Mark “Dave” Farrow, 71, of New Philadelphia passed away November 13, 2018 at his home following a sudden health issue.

Born in Cleveland on February 25, 1947, he was the son of the late Robert and Helen E. Farrow. After graduating from New Philadelphia High School, Dave honorably served his country in the United States Army. He was a Vietnam veteran, serving in the 1st Infantry Division.

Throughout his lifetime, he shared his artistic talent with family and friends around the world, painting beautiful pieces of art. He also had a love for fishing and hunting arrowheads with his family. Dave always enjoyed a good sci-fi movie and watching the History Channel.

Most importantly, he loved and adored his wife, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. He was at greatest peace and contentment when he was with his grandchildren supporting their extra-curricular activities.

Dave will be long remembered for his humble personality, gracious spirit, and cheerful attitude. He knew no strangers, and was always quick with a compliment and had a genuine interest in the well-being of others and their stories.
