Grandson of Louisiana Governor Huey P. Long. Rory Scott McFarland was born on May 17, 1952 in Baton Rouge Louisiana to the late Dr. Osmyn William McFarland and Rose Lolita (Long) McFarland. His family moved to Boulder, Colorado in 1953, where he resided for most of his life. He attended Boulder Public Schools (Flatirons Elementary, Baseline Junior High). He graduated high school in 1970 from Fountain Valley School in Colorado Springs. He then attended Pomona College in Claremont, California one year. He married in 1976 and later divorced.
Rory started several businesses. He was president of Advanced Energy Technologies, which was engaged in the development of technical and mechanical products for which he held several patents. He previously owned rental properties in Boulder and several land parcels in Wyoming. He was also involved in some international business ventures. He loved wilderness ever since spending summers as a child at his family's ranch in the mountains of Wyoming near Saratoga. He liked living in the mountains where he could view wildlife and enjoy the outdoors. He always imagined that if he ever became a multi-millionaire, he would share his riches with others and set up a trust for animals. He traveled extensively. At one time or another, he had homes in Colorado, Wyoming and Hawaii. Rory was a diver, biker, hiker, pilot, cinema enthusiast and a voracious reader. He loved animals and often had a big dog, his favorite being a Bernese mountain dog named "Ziggy" as his constant companion.
He is survived by two sisters, Marsha McFarland Budz (David) of Boulder, Colorado and Terry McFarland Fluke of Bozeman, Montana; five nieces and nephews; four great-nieces and nephews; and four first-cousins.
