Andrew Jason Farber, age 56, passed away far too soon on July 15, 2023. It is with a profound sense of sorrow and an indescribable heaviness in our hearts that we deliver this heartbreaking news. He was born in Montreal, Canada on May 23, 1967 to parents Frank Farber and Ada Elizabeth Hoogteijling Farber. Andrew grew up in Miramar, Florida before he moved to Tallahassee to attend FSU for college. Andrew earned several degrees and certifications throughout the years. He began his career as a paramedic in 1985 and continued his education where he became a registered nurse and continued on to obtain his master’s degree. He served many positions within Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare system eventually working his way to nurse manager of TMH’s CVMSICU and finally, he found his last family when he joined the Clinical Informatics team and will be greatly missed by all. It would be impossible to quantify the impact Andrew had on the countless patients he cared for, his coworkers, the industry itself, and all those he loved and loved him. He will be remembered for his heart of gold, and for the remarkable soul he had. Beyond his exceptional professional accomplishments, Andrew was the embodiment of respect, compassion, and profound wisdom. His glowing personality, quick wit, and brilliant conversation captured the attention of everyone in the room. He was a friend that soon became a close family member of the heart. He was an amazing husband, brother, and fur daddy. He loved and was loved unconditionally, always a beacon of support to his family and friends. He touched countless lives, leaving a lasting mark on the hearts of all he encountered. The weight of this loss is simply staggering, and we struggle to find the words to articulate the magnitude of our grief. Survivors include his loving husband of 10 years, Dewayne Cosby; sisters Diane Rodriguez (John), Natalie Feazell (James), Karen Hanflink, Valerie Farber and Tamara Lee (Troy), as well as a host of nieces and nephews. Andrew also leaves behind his beloved dogs, Reno and Rigby. He was preceded in passing by his parents. It is with an overwhelming mixture of gratitude, admiration, and sadness that we bid farewell to a truly extraordinary individual. Andrew Farber, you will forever remain an irreplaceable presence in our lives. Rest peacefully, our beloved Andrew.
