5/27/2026 is the 19 year anniversary of Paul’s unnecessary death. Such a waste of a beautiful person.

11/2/2025: 19 Missed Birthdays

5/27/2025: 18 YEARS. We miss you so very much.

GREAT NEWS, We recovered the site in December, 2025.

JANUARY 2024 – The Paul Farris website suffered a massive crash, with many pages lost. We will rebuild!

11/2/1983 – 5/27/2007

Taken Away Too Soon

This website is a place you can visit and reflect about Paul, about the frailty of life or whatever else matters to you. In August of 2017 we converted the standalone PaulFarris.org website to this subdomain.

We use this and our PursuitForChange.org sites to tell Paul’s story and to advocate for significantly safer police pursuits, because if simple judgment had been used on May 27, 2007, Paul would still be alive.

Paul positively affected many people during his short life and that continues after his death. His spirit will live with us forever. We continue to do everything that Paul expects of us, and we hope that you will too. ‘Police pursuits, for the most part, are merely a passing newspaper story or television headline, forgotten by readers and viewers a few minutes later. But for the hundreds of relatives and thousands of friends of these innocent victims, the pain is real and never goes away. Never.’

– Jonathan Farris, May 2007

I hear people say that time heals the pain.
Well, it doesn’t. Not even a little bit.
Time does strengthen me.
Time does allow me to hide the hurt so you need not live with it as I do – every day of my life. ~ jgf
