If you knew him you could not help but love him. He was truly a kind soul. His clever wit and sense of humor were unsurpassed. He was an avid sports fan and loved participating in fantasy baseball and football leagues over the last 27 years. He was a coach at Little League 3 and enjoyed coaching his sons. He loved Huntington High Football and watching his sons play. He was extremely proud of his sons and their accomplishments over the years. He dearly loved his family and was coping with the loss of his precious mother in 2011. Last but not least he was a West Virginia Mountaineer Fan. He loved them good or bad, win or lose and no one or nothing could ever change that. Ivan is preceded in death by his mother, Rosetta “Mary Ann” Lowery Farley and sister, Debbie, who passed shortly after her birth and niece, Amy Farley.

His family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff at St. Mary’s Medical Center MICU in Huntington as they fought hard to save his precious life.
