Corey Barker, Pittsburg, TX—The community mourns the passing of Corey Barker, who passed away this past Saturday, October 19, 2024, after a courageous battle with kidney failure. Over the last five years, Corey faced numerous health challenges, including several heart attacks and strokes. His loss has left his family and friends in deep sorrow.
Corey was remembered fondly by his friend Gary Leonard, who posted on Facebook: "This is my friend and Marine brother who passed away this weekend. He was a truly great man." Gary also urged the community to support Corey’s family during this difficult time, encouraging donations to help cover funeral costs.
Corey’s wife, Shawna Barker, has organized a fundraiser to assist with the funeral expenses, as the family had no life insurance or burial policy in place. She shared her heartfelt message: “We lost my husband on October 19th, 2024… I don’t have the money to be able to pay for my husband’s funeral at this moment. We’re asking $7,000 so that we can lay him to rest.”
The fundraiser has already seen support from the community, with donations from kind individuals such as Miguel Buendia ($25), Courtney Grigsby ($25), Michael Hale ($200), Linda Mottu ($100), and Chassity Matynka ($20).
We extend our deepest condolences to the Barker family. Our thoughts and prayers are with them as they navigate this difficult time. May God walk with them and provide strength as they cope with their loss.
