Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers today as you celebrate Quallis's life. It has been many years since I had seen him; nonetheless, I was deeply saddened to hear the news. To Cheryl, Kory, Chris, and Ms. Ray Mildred remember and cherish the many precious memories you had with him. To his children, grands, and spouse I am truly sorry for your loss. To everyone grieving, lean and depend on the ONE who can wipe all tears away.

Franklin Woodcock left a message on April 3, 2021:
He was a great leader and a great person to be around. He was the first person to welcome me to 3/7 cav when I got to War Eagle. Before I deployed to Iraq me and my wife found out she was pregnant with our first child. While deployed I found out we was having a boy and when her due date was. I told First Sargeant Farr about it and he told me that he would make sure that I will be on the first plan home with the guys to make sure that I will be there when my son was born. He kept his word and I was able to be there when. My son was born and I called him to let him know my son was born. Then he told me that he was going to get with the Commander to let him know that my 30 day leave to be home with my wife. He always kept his word and always put his soldiers first. He will be greatly missed and I would have to say that he was the best First Sergeant that I have ever been under. I just want to let his family and friends know that I am sorry for your lost and he will never be forgotten.

I was saddened for you all at the passing of "Q". I served along with him as a fellow umpire in the Georgia High School Association. I pray God brings your family a calming peace, but also joy, as you remember the times you shared with Steven. Yours in Christ Jesus, Rev. Richard Beatty

It is extremely saddening to know you are gone. I haven't talked to you in a few years but you were one of the few leaders I had kept in contact with through the years. Your encouragement to me through my Army career, my Audie Murphy board process, and everywhere in between was greatly appreciated and will always be remembered. You ALWAYS had a smile for every soldier and genuinely cared. You can't fake that. Great man and one of the best leaders I ever had the honor of serving with. Good bye for now CSM!

Farr was my soldier at Ft Know Kentucky in the early nineties. Even at a young age he was the heart and soul of our core group of soldiers. Outstanding human bringing good when things where bad. He worked hard, was committed, never sweated the small things. It tears at my core to find out hes been taken from us at such a young age. We shall meet again my comrade. Save a place for us at Fiddlers green.

My Condolences to Steve’s daughters and his grand babies and Kris. Steve would light up talking about his grand babies when we talked. Steve was my husband #1 fan when he played softball. They always could just pick up were the left off even if it wasn’t a call or text everyday. I am truly going to miss the talks at the softball fields with Steve. RIP Steve keep watch over us all. Love you big brother. Cathy Coverdale
