Obituary of Harry Patrick Michael Farrell

Harry Patrick Michael Farrell III (Mike/Mickey), 51, of Grand Prairie, went to be with the Lord on December 6, 2022, after suffering a stroke. Harry fought hard for 9-months after his stroke and although we miss him, we know he is home with the Lord.

Harry was born on May 31, 1971, to Harry Sr. & LaVonne Farrell in Chicago. He spent his childhood and school-aged years in Chicago then moved to Texas.

After high school, he went on to study massage therapy. Upon graduating as a Certified Licensed Massage Therapist, he started his career at Massage Envy and later moved to Hand and Stone, kickstarting a 20-year career in massage therapy. He earned much respect from his co-workers and clients.

In 1999, Harry met Angeles Ruiz and they went on to have two children, Eva & Brendan; he also lovingly accepted and helped raise Anel & Alan, being a significant parent in their lives. 

Harry spent his time with those he loved, and faithfully attended church. His faith in God is what passionately inspired him to give selflessly and work hard to support his family. He absolutely loved the outdoors, especially stargazing, he also had a passion for screenwriting. His life was filled with smiles, laughter, and a loving family who supported him. Harry's love transformed the lives of everyone he encountered; he had a remarkable ability to connect with people, share himself, and had a deep love for Jesus. 

Harry was predeceased by his father, Harry Farrell, and his mother, LaVonne Farrell.

He is survived by his children, Eva Farrell and her daughter Alora, Brendan Farrell, Anel Ruiz and her son Raffael, and Alan Ruiz; his sisters Mary Jo Lee, Mary Therese Lee and her husband Ed, Mary Kathleen Harris and her husband Glen, and many nieces and nephews; Diana Gravley and her husband Ben and family, Brian Lee and his wife Lisa and family, Anthony Lee and his wife Katie and family, James Farrell and family, John Paul Arevalo, and Matthew Harris. 

A Celebration of Harry’s Life will be held at the home of Mary Kathleen & Glen immediately following the service.
