It is with heavy hearts and deep gratitude for a life well-lived that we announce the passing of Dave Farris on July 27, 2026. Dave, age 73, departed this world peacefully at his home in Jefferson City, Missouri, after a courageous battle with glioblastoma. Born on April 8, 1953, to William (Bill) and Clara Farris. Dave was a beloved son, husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend whose legacy will forever be cherished by those who knew him.

A native of Jefferson City, Dave embraced life with a warmth and sincerity that touched all who crossed his path. He graduated from Helias Catholic High School in 1971, where he began to forge the friendships and values that would guide him throughout his life. Known for his steadfast work ethic, Dave found his calling in the honest labor of a backhoe operator, ultimately finishing his career with pride at PWSD #2 as a dedicated operator.

On September 26, 2002, Dave married the love of his life, Brandi (Crader) Steinnerd, and together they built a life defined by love, laughter, and shared adventures. Dave is survived by his devoted wife, Brandi, and his sons, Michael Farris of Wentzville, MO and Darren (Melanie) Farris of Columbia, MO; his bonus son, Jon (Julianne) Steinnerd of Newburgh, IN. Dave's legacy lives on through his cherished grandchildren, Bethany Denning, Claire Farris, Riley Farris, Reagan Farris, Sawyer Steinnerd and Alanna Steinnerd, as well as his great-grandson, Zander Denning. And the best dog in the world, Chester!

A man of many talents, Dave found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He was an avid fisherman, a skilled s***t and target shooter, and a passionate golfer. His hands were rarely idle, as he indulged in the arts of blacksmithing, woodworking, model train layout, and welding. Dave had a unique gift for tinkering and adding his own creative spin to everything he touched. His Saturdays were often filled with the camaraderie of his best buddies, whether they were fixing cars, barbecuing, shooting guns or drinking bourbon.

Dave was a man who never met a stranger, and his genuine love for spending time with family and friends was a testament to his kind-hearted nature. He shared an unbreakable bond with his siblings, Tammy Inman, and brothers Greg, Don, Mark, Nick, Dennis and Daniel, along with many loving nieces and nephews. He will always be remembered as “Uncle D”, especially by great niece Madison Keyser, whom so lovingly gave him that name he cherished. He will also be missed by his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Kevin & Linda Crader.

Dave is predeceased by his parents, Bill and Clara Farris, his sister, Mary Anderson, his brother, Mitch Farris, and his very special niece, Amanda Farris. While we mourn his loss, we take solace in knowing he is reunited with them.

Memorial contributions are suggested to the family of Dave Farris c/o the funeral home.

As we bid farewell to Dave, we remember a man whose life was a testament to love, friendship, and resilience. His presence will be deeply missed, but his spirit will continue to inspire all who knew him.

Visitation will be held on Friday, July 31, 2026 from 11A.M.-1P.M. with the funeral immediately following at 1P.M. all at the funeral home. Officiating will be Rev. Jeremy Barnard. Burial will be at the California City Cemetery. Arrangements are under the direction of the Bowlin-Cantriel Funeral Services of California, MO.
