Kevin faced many challenges throughout his life, and those who knew him remember him in their own way. As a family, we take this time to reflect on his life and to hold close the importance of grace, compassion, and peace.

He is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Luther Barrett, Sr., and Mattie Barrett; maternal grandparents, Odron Fisher, and Leona Fisher; and aunts & uncles, Cody Fisher, Dora Jane Fisher, Irvin Fisher, Patsy Fisher, Claudell Lucas, and Martha Detrich.

He is survived by his parents, Irma Faye and Odis Barrett, Jr.; son, Jacob Barrett; brother, Brian Barrett (Sheri); nieces, Alexis Hunley (Blake), and Peyton Barrett; nephew, Cody Barrett, and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who will remember him and the life he lived. Though his journey was not without hardship, we hope he has now found peace.
