Dad was the eldest child of Myron Barnes and Stella Clark. Born in Downey, Idaho, he moved with his parents to Tremonton, Utah where he lived for the rest of his life. He married his sweetheart, Diana "Jean" Roche on December 8, 1948, in the Logan LDS Temple. Married for 57 years, he was her husband, her partner and her best friend. Mom and Dad enjoyed traveling, first with Grandpa and Grandma Barnes on trips to Texas in their younger years, and in more recent times, in the motorhome visiting friends from St. George to Phoenix. Dad enjoyed family gatherings and Christmas Eve at Grandpa and Grandma's was always a memorable event. Dad was a man of integrity and was always true to his word. He did business with a handshake and a desire to give people a fa ir deal. He was involved in farming all of his life, owned and operated Dale's Red-E-Mix, and for the past 35 years, Barnes Equipment. There wasn't a tractor that Dad couldn't fix or a part that he couldn't find. Dad never met a stranger and enjoyed dealing with his customers and his many friends in the equipment business and he appreciated everyone who stopped by the shop to visit. Dad loved the beauty of the Bear River Valley and enjoyed driving around looking at the fields and crops. His kindness and generosity touched many and he always had a helping hand for anyone who needed it. His hard work and desire to "do it right" were a great example to his children. Not one to express his feelings verbally, we nevertheless knew of his love and devotion for his family. Dad is survived by his loving wife Jean, sons Ivan (Kari) Barnes, Gary (Becky) Barnes, Roger (Judy) Barnes, daughters Peggy (David) Deaver and Patsy Barnes, daughter-in-law Anita Dutson, 12 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren and his sister Evelyn Kemp. He was preceded in death by his parents, brother Max and sisters LaRue, Luetta, and Marlene. The family would like to thank Dr. Schow and his staff and the IHC Hospice Team for their care and compassion for Dad these past months.
