James Stanley Farquarson

April 23, 1948 – Dec. 28, 2005

A funeral service was held on Thursday, Jan. 5, 2006 at the Wood Family 
Funeral Service Chapel for James Stanley Farquarson, 57, who passed away on 
Dec. 28, 2005 in a Bakersfield hospital.

The No. 1 most important thing in his life was his kids. Jim would want to be 
remembered, first and foremost, for being a really good dad, which he was and 
all of his kids would say he was the best and most important person in their 
lives.

Jim was born in Downey on April 23, 1948 to James and Evelyn Farquarson. He 
was raised in Norwalk. Jim was drafted into the Army in November 1969. Jim 
worked at Lucky’s grocery store while putting himself through college. He 
received an associate’s degree in real estate and was a real estate broker 
since 1972 with real estate offices in Fullerton, Bakersfield and Tehachapi. 
Jim was also a general contractor and was skilled in a variety of trades. 

Jim met Valorie Milam in April of 1981 and often said, “we went on a date that 
lasted 24 years.” He regarded Val as his best friend. Jim had a somewhat 
unusual way of communicating, but he liked to talk and people that knew him 
always understood what he meant. He was a staunch republican and admired 
Ronald Reagan and both Georges.

When his sons were younger, Jim participated heavily in Boy Scouts and gave 
sons Josh and Ian support in order for them to obtain their Order of the Arrow 
and Eagle Scout awards. Jim went to a million Girl Scout dances, horse shows, 
fundraisers and school plays. He was always a person who was willing to help 
others and he was happy to help. It made him feel good to see people that he 
helped overcome any trouble and move forward.

Jim is survived by his wife, Valorie Farquarson; sons, Joshua, Ian and Thomas 
Farquarson; daughters, Emily, Jami and Autumn Farquarson, all of Tehachapi and 
Trisha Goddard of Scottsdale, Ariz.; granddaughter, Shaylene; mother, Evelyn 
Farquarson of Tehachapi; and numerous aunts and uncles.

Reverend Floyd Castillo officiated at the service. Interment followed at 
Tehachapi Public Cemetery, Westside. Wood Family Funeral Service handled the 
arrangements.
