Ronald “Ronnie” Eugene Farrow, 69, of Gracemont, Oklahoma, passed away peacefully at his home on Sunday, September 21, 2025. He was born April 19, 1956, in Lawton, Oklahoma, to Jack and Betty Farrow. Ronnie grew up in Binger and graduated from Binger High School in 1974. During his school years, he was an avid baseball player and active in showing cattle, pursuits that built a foundation for his lifelong love of the outdoors and animals. After graduation, Ronnie began his career with Fort Cobb Parks and Recreation. At age 20, he went to work for Caddo County District 1, where he dedicated nearly 30 years of service before retiring. He later worked five years for the City of Anadarko and then spent four more years at Gold River Casino in Anadarko. Ronnie married Patricia Christine Smart on July 6, 1984, and together they shared more than 41 wonderful years. The couple enjoyed breaking horses, attending rodeos, and riding in parades. Ronnie also had a heart for coaching and spent time coaching T-ball with his brother, Gary, when their children were young. He was always active in his children’s livestock endeavors, even learning to shear sheep for competitions. Ronnie had a passion for the outdoors. He loved hunting deer and quail with his brother during Thanksgiving, fishing, camping, and watching OU football. He also raised goats, sheep, and chickens, and adored all types of animals. Among his special companions was his beloved Boston Terrier, Memphis. Ronnie was a member of the Cowboy Church in Gracemont, where his faith was an important part of his life.
He is survived by his loving wife, Patricia Farrow of the home in Gracemont; four children, Jennifer Griffin and husband Josh of Newcastle, Bradley Farrow and wife Jessica of Fayetteville, Arkansas, Travis Farrow of Gracemont, and Talissa Wray and husband Dalton of Minco; seven grandchildren, Tanner Walsh, Kennedy Walsh, Lily Farrow, Isis Farrow, Lunabell Farrow, Brylee Wray, and Conlee Wray; siblings, Gary Farrow and wife Andria of Binger, David Farrow and wife Alicia of Stillwater, and Connie Locke and husband David of Binger; as well as many cousins, nieces, nephews, other relatives, and dear friends.
