It took me a while to write this, an obituary for my lively friend. Barry is a beloved friend. We had many adventures both professionally and privately through the years. Friends who are “like family”. It seems unreal to outlive this smart, talented, adorable guy (who at times drove me nuts) but was always so special in my life. Life is just not fair sometimes, I was hoping for another 30yrs or so with him. I’m so glad to have shared in the many memories with Barry, Brent, Bobbi, Kolton, and Konner since we first were friends back in 1993 as “just graduated” nurses. Here is to the loads of jokes and laughter, often cooking good food around midnight, boating all day long, and camping every free weekend, new boats and campers through the years, laying in the truck bed on country roads to watch fireworks every year, and all of our shared pets over this lifetime. Remembering Barry and his naughty pet pig Dixie that he loved…who always tried to bite me…Barry taking in three of my horses he was initially afraid of and then spoiling them for several years, swapping vehicles for different errands, partying when we were young, his pride in little and grown Kolton and Konner, so many good times. His love for his little sister Bobbi, that he and Brent took in and cared for over decades, I could go on and on. He was a professional man who worked hard to get to where he wanted to be with his career. I am so proud of him and his accomplishments. His patients knew his kindness and his knowledge as did his many colleagues. I know his family is missing him and the grief is tough right now, but there will be a day when that joy of knowing and loving Barry will be the stronger emotion. Here is to a wonderful life lived Barry Scott Berumen, may you be forever young.
I am so very sorry to learn of Barry’s passing. I worked with him for many years as he progressed in his career at LRC. He was a strong advocate for those in his care and well liked and respected by co-workers. He will be missed.
I have always had ties with the Berumen family since I was a teenager. I would see Barry off and on throughout the years and everytime he would greet me with a big ole hug and a kiss on the cheek. He will he missed for his generosity, kindness and love for others. So sorry for the loss of dedicated, genuine man!
I am just so so saddened by the news of Barry’s passing. I attended high school with him & then I really enjoyed working with him for 18 years at LRC. What an honor. Just so much respect for him.
