Barry Penland

Barry…In high school you were a big bear with a soft heart…always a sweet guy. You were loved then and you are loved now. You will always be remembered for just being you. Be with God and rest in peace.

Can't express the feelings of love we received from Barry's friends at the church in Atwater at Barry's memorial. He found his love of God, which was displayed ever so greatly by his church members and friends who had exactly the same qualities as Jesus had.
Thank you for welcoming us with such warm stories and your love and your warm hugs and stories!

I knew Barry from Harbor High School in Santa Cruz. We played football together. He was a tough, able athlete, and when off the field, a gentle soul. I have found memories of Barry. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.

Gotta love this man... I talked to my daughter after his passing and asked her thoughts, she said, "who is going to take care of the speakers at church? Who is going to be across us at camp that can watch me play outside?" The man had shoes no one can fill. Loved everyone. Likewise, many, many, many, of us love him.

My prayers are with you Uncle Eugene and Evelyn. Barry is in the arms of the Lord and one day we'll be united again. Just remember God is good and never makes a mistake. Love and prayers today and always, Pam (Mize) Gadapee

Barry will be missed by so many of his friends that gathered every morning for coffee at the Almond Tree restaurant. God now has him in his keeping.

Bear, we will miss all that we did together. May the God that you loved so much give you His rest and His peace.

My family and I will truly miss your big heart that was filled with your love for people and Jesus. What joy you must be experiencing now as you are in the presence of our Lord.
