Local roadway renamed for fallen hero

Patrick and Silver Farr stroll down the street renamed for their son, Clay Patrick Farr.

A roadside bomb killed Farr in February 2006, a week after his 21st birthday. The solider died serving the country he loved.

"When he was finally deployed to Iraq in August 2005 he got over there and he thought he was in Disneyland," Farr's father, Patrick Farr, said.

Farr said he remembers his son running around the Northwest Bakersfield neighborhood as a child playing army with his friends.

"I always used to kid him, if he ever got a little nick or cut he wouldn't bleed blood, he would bleed red white and blue," the elder Farr said of his son.
