Michael was born on May 18, 1987 in Silver Spring, MD to Sharon Ann (Welch) and Louis James Farri.
Michael was a skilled and talented self-employed barber. He was a member of the Iron Workers Union Local 5. He enjoyed working with wood and building things. Growing up he was an adventurous dare devil. He enjoyed fishing, and loved being on the water. He liked to draw and paint. He took great pride in his appearance; always looking “fresh”, neatly groomed, with coordinating clothing and shoes. He would customize his shoes and design his own clothing.
Michael’s favorite number was 32 as a tribute to his father who was a Fire Fighter #32. He was very proud of his father and honored him by showing off the number 32 in any way that he could. He loved children especially babies. He was a kind, caring, loving, and sensitive man who will be missed by all who knew him.
