Local Official Remembers Chief Farnsworth

Kirksville Police Chief Steve Farnsworth, who died over the weekend, is being remembered for his community support, his time spent as an official, and as a friend. Nathan Chitwood from Centralia, officiated numerous games with him.

Chitwood says the one thing that wasn’t safe around Farnsworth, was food.

Farnsworth worked the 2011 NAIA Football National Championshiop Game, and last season, the national quarterfinal and national semifinal games.
He joined the Kirksville Police Department in 1986, and also worked at the scorer’s table at Kirksville High school and Truman State University.
