Kirk L. Barrett passed away May 29, 2018, in St. George, Utah, after a lengthy battle with challenging health issues resulting from a truck accident in 2016.

As a boy, he loved to hunt, fish and trap. He was best known for his sense of humor and quick wit, ensuring that whoever was with him was having the time of their life. He loved jeeps, baseball hats and a great pair of jeans.
He was especially good to his mother and was always very protective of her. He took great pride in his son and his nieces and nephews with everything they accomplished. He was very close with his brothers and enjoyed spending time with them and their families.
