Obituary

John O'Dell Bolin, 34, formerly of Barstow, was tragically taken from us in a car accident in Wickenburg, Ariz., on Feb. 12, 2007. John was born in Phoenix, Ariz., on July 16, 1972. John attended schools in Arizona and Oregon before moving to Barstow. John attended Barstow High School before moving to Kingman, Ariz., where he worked for Mojave County ARC in security. John was a loving and caring son, father, husband, brother, uncle and friend. John was happiest spending time at home with his children and family members. John was preceded in death by his grandparents, John O Dell and Louise Farmer; and grandfather, Arnold Bolin. John is survived by his wife, Cynthia; his 10 -year-old daughter, Tattianna; two year old son, Tristan; parents, Don and Carolyn Farmer; sisters, Dorothy Bolin and Christy Lynn Farmer; brothers, Greg and Steven Farmer and their families; grandparents, Sid and Dorothy Cline; Aunt Yvonne Cline and Uncle Junior Cline and cousins, Stephanie and Jacob all of Kingman, Ariz.; Uncle Bob and Aunt Barbara Fogle of Barstow; cousins, Eric Sanchez of Henderson, Nev., Amber Woods and Travis Tennyson of Barstow and their families; Uncle David and Aunt Kathy Jarell of Barstow; Erin Weaver of Lakeview, Ore., Emily and Katie Jean Squires of Barstow and their families. John has left behind many other relatives and friends, too numerous to name, who loved him and will miss him very much. A memorial service was held at Kingman Christian Church with Reverend Walt Roberts officiating on Feb. 19, 2007. Private cremation followed. We can shed our tears in sadness that John O Dell has been taken from us, or we can learn to smile that we have had the pleasure of loving him.
