A lifelong resident of the Enville community, Mr. Farve graduated from Greenville High School with the Class of 1964. On April 17, 1964 he married Sandra Kay Gardner in Gainesville, TX. Mr. Farve was a self-employed carpenter who loved mentoring children. He coached several basketball and baseball teams over the years and also taught golf and gave instruction on bull-riding. He was known to hand out nicknames to those he mentored, and those names have typically been maintained. Mr. Farve also loved raising, breaking and riding horses. He was a proud member of the Chickasaw Nation and very proud of his Grandfather, James Cotton McCurtain who was a member of the Chickasaw Nation Hall of Fame.
