June 22, 1941-Aug. 8, 2022

Charles Wesley Barrett Jr., better known as “Grandpa Bub, died Aug. 8, 2022, at age 81. He was born June 22, 1941, in Baltimore, Maryland, to parents Charles Wesley Barrett and Nancy Jane Essert. He was raised in Andover Massachusetts

Chuck married Lynda Barrett in Watsonville, California, on Oct. 14, 1983.

Chuck was an incredibly loving and devoted husband to Lynda, whom he cherished with all his heart, constantly surprising her with gifts and dinner out. Together they loved to travel and see new places, where Chuck could strike up a conversation with any unsuspecting stranger and become best friends.

He was an incredible father, grandfather and great-grandfather who dedicated so much to help all of us enjoy life, see new places and have new experiences. He was always there, willing to help with anything that was needed no matter what, no questions asked and a “good” dad joke. Bad jokes were his specialty that he was very proud of and sure to share.

Fishing and spending time at the family cabin, which he built with his son Chad and father-in-law Bill, was a priority that we all got to enjoy and make precious memories over many years that will last all of us a lifetime.

His generosity to everyone including complete strangers had a remarkable and lasting impact in this life.

Chuck was preceded in death by his sister Linda Daniels

He is survived by his wife Lynda of Washington, Utah; daughter Shanen Dow (Eric); son Chad Black (Simone); daughter SuAnne Jacobsen (Arne); son Jim Black (Heather); nine beautiful grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren and countless friends over the years.

Services will be Saturday, Aug. 20, at 11 a.m., 1500 East Ridge View Drive.  Visitation will be from 10-10:45 a.m.

Interment will be at Washington City Cemetery, under the direction of McMillan Mortuary, 435-688-8880
