Barry is survived by his beloved wife, Sara; his son, Kristopher; and Sara's children, Kristen, Pam, and Trevor, for whom he was a loving father figure, as well as his eight grandchildren. Barry is also survived by his brother, Curt, and sisters, Dorinda, Joy, and Wendy. He was preceded in death by his cherished wife, Joan and his parents Don and Dolores Wagoner.
A gifted engineer, Barry was known for his intelligence, creativity, and kind spirit. His favorite place was Lake Almanor, California, where he and Joan built a home together and created many treasured memories. Surrounded by nature, Barry found peace, joy, and inspiration.
Barry's warmth, wisdom, and devotion to family touched the lives of many and will be remembered always.
