of Beebe, AR
March 3, 1941 - October 26, 2024
Buster Farris, 83, of Beebe, Arkansas passed on Saturday, October 26th. Buster was born on March 3, 1941 in Timbo, Arkansas. He graduated from Timbo High School and attended Arkansas State Teachers College in Conway.
He was an avid car lover since he was a young boy. His first hot rod being a 1951 Mercury at age 16. That passion continued throughout his life and he was always on the hunt to find and restore old muscle cars. He was well known throughout the car and restoration community, owning his own dealerships in Little Rock and Timbo, Arkansas. He moved his family back to his hometown of Timbo to continue his lifelong passion in the car business. Each car he restored was with an engineer's precision and he never gave up on the projects he started. Buster was one of the hardest working people you would ever meet. His love for classic cars, his treasured pets and his family brought him the most joy in life. Buster loved a good card game, western movies, (with Gunsmoke on repeat). He was a civil war buff as well as a travel enthusiast, spending weeks planning his and Faye's next adventure in his latest motor home find. To say he will be missed is an overwhelming understatement. A personality and spirit of someone like him was a gift to us on loan by Jesus. It was time for him to go home and we truly feel his absence in our hearts today and always, but we know we are promised a rejoicing reunion one day when we meet again.
Buster is survived by his wife of 65 years, Faye Farris; Their two children, Ricky Farris and wife, Isabell of Timbo, Arkansas and Kimberley Wells (Farris) and husband, Michael Wells, of Frisco, Texas; Five grandchildren, Sydney Wells, Sean Wells, Zachary Wells, Jeremy Farris and Allison Farris; Brother, Danny Farris and a host of extended family and friends.
He is preceded in death by his father, Arles Lawton Farris; mother, Golda Farris (Purdom); one brother, Dale Arles "D.A." Farris and two sisters, Wanda Stewart (Farris),Abilene Munson (Farris).
