Linson Farless, age 76, of Morrison passed away Wednesday evening, May 11, 2022 at NHC HealthCare Center in McMinnville. 

He was born June 3, 1945 in Van Buren County to his parents, the late John Herman and Delma Hillis Farless.  In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Deborah J. Farless; sisters, Wavie Schrecengost and Mary Farless; brothers, Carson Farless, Leonard Farless and William Thomas Farless; and nephew, Ronnie Schrecengost. 

Linson was a plain country man that loved and was loved by so many.  He was a hard worker and loved working the land.  He worked in nursery work and to have only had a third grade education, he knew more about plants and trees than someone with a degree.  Linson was funny and enjoyed life.  He was a member of the McMinnville Church of God, formerly Locust Street Chruch of God. 

He leaves to cherish his memory, three daughters, Lisa (Brian) Holt and Amy (Brent) Aughinbaugh both of McMinnville and Clarlissa Farless of Cookeville; four grandchildren, Alicia (Brandon) Knight, Ciara Holt, Beckham Holt and Malachi Aughinbaugh; two great-grandchildren, Gracie and Sadie; honorary family members, the family of his late wife, Deborah J. Farless; brother, Troy Farless; two sisters, Earlene Jennings and Debra Bess; sister-in-law, Janice Farless; several nieces and nephews and a host of family and friends. 

A Celebration of Life honoring his life, was held Saturday, May 14, 2022 at the McMinnville Church of God with Bro. Tommy Burke officiating and burial followed in Crain Hill Cemetery in Van Buren County. 

Pallbearers and Honorary Pallbearers included Brent Aughinbaugh, Brian Holt, Christopher Holt, William Thomas Farless, Jr., Joey Anderson, Brnadon Hogan, Brandon Knight, Joshua Hall, Shannon Anderson, Clarence Pease, Albert Sinks, Steve Judkins and honorary grandchildren.

The family asks that donations be made to the McMinnville Church of God, in loving memory of Mr. Linson.
