A Roanoke native, Micah was born in Jacksonville, Alabama, on May 22, 1994, the son of Derek and Becky Young Farr. He had an Associate’s Degree in Nursing and a Bachelor’s Degree in History, Theology, and Education and taught history and psychology for Opelika City Schools. Micah had a thirst for knowledge, was a trivia buff, loved picking his guitar, and enjoyed history and reenacting it. He was a PA announcer for Handley Tiger Football, an avid Alabama fan, and was always wearing his lucky jersey every Saturday. More than anything, Micah was a Christian who loved serving the Lord. He was a member of Heritage Baptist Church where he served as Assistant Pastor. He also hosted a podcast named Patriotic Preachers. Micah was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Tommy Gene Young and paternal grandparents, William Lindsey and Martha Neal Farr.
