Barnes, Dale Myron
Dale Myron Barnes Dale Myron Barnes, beloved husband, father, grandfather,
great-grandfather, brother and friend, began his life on July 5, 1928 and left
this world to be reunited with his parents on, April 15, 2005, after a brief
illness. 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. Funeral
services will be held Tuesday, April 19, 2005 at 11:00 a.m. at the Tremonton
