Kenneth Ray Farabee, known as Ray Farabee, was born in 1932 in Wichita Falls, Texas.
After graduating with a Juris Doctor from the University of Texas at Austin, he had
a private law practice in Wichita Falls. Farabee served in the Texas State Senate
from 1975 to 1988 and authored 245 Senate bills that became law. Recognized as one
of the state’s best legislators, he championed the Texas Natural Death Act,
supported a limitation on medical malpractice in Texas, and increased child support
for state employees. In 1988, he became general counsel for the University of Texas.
After retiring in 2000, he continued to serve UT as an executive assistant to the
chancellor. Farabee published an autobiography, Ray Farabee:
Making It Through the Night and Beyond: A Memoir in 2009.
