Thank you for sharing your husband/father with our community. His funeral service was inspirational and moving. Jack, your touching show of love to your father right after the service will long be remembered. Your family will remain in my thoughts and prayers. I took my grandchildren out of school to honor Officer Barney during the motorcade on 39th South. I know they will never forget this reverent experience. God bless your family with tender mercies and peace.

Some years ago, Officer Barney was working a "Security" shift at the PEHP offices in Salt Lake City. My son came on a particular afternoon to propose to a lovely young lady who worked at PEHP. After calling her to the lobby, my son made the proposal for marriage. However, he was very nervous and just kind of threw a bouquet of flowers and the engagement ring at her. Luckily she did catch them, but then Officer Barney intervened and said. "Now, son, you need to do this properly. Get down on your knees and propose to this beautiful young lady." So that is exactly what he did. She did say "yes," and they were married and now have three beautiful children. But they have never forgotten the advise of Officer Barney. They were saddened to hear of his untimely death. We thank him for his service to family, friends, and the community. We as a family express our deepest sympathies to Officer Barney's lovely wife and beautiful children. May the Lord bless you always!

Dear Sister Barney,
Thank you for sharing your dear husband with us. I watched the funeral on TV and I just want to tell you that I felt the spirit so strong. Even through his death he was able to make it possible for hundreds to be able to hear things about Jesus Christ and about eternal live that we know and appreciate so much, that they have never heard before. I hope some day to be able to meet him. My the Lord bless you and your children as you now face this hard journey without him for a short while.

I want to send my deepest, heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and fellow law enforcement family. I didn't know Scott Barney personally, however I am the daughter of a police officer. I understand the sacrifies he made for his community but also ALL the emotions that come with a loved one who devoted his life to the safety & security of strangers. My heart breaks for your loss. I know how much his loss will affect the community but no one can understand this new missing part in your heart & soul. I send my prayers for strength, comfort & faith in healing from this horrible loss. I believe we can honor our lost loved ones & continue to love them every single day even if they aren't present here on earth. They will always be by our side; in our hearts.
