Send FlowersChristopher Allen Barker, 26, passed away the morning of Sunday, Aug. 12, 2012. Funeral services will be 10 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 16, at OakCrest Funeral Home. Burial will follow at Holy Cross Cemetery.
Chris was born Jan. 16, 1986, in Waco, to Allen and Patty Barker. He graduated from Bruceville-Eddy High School in 2004 before receiving a Culinary Arts Degree from TSTC.
Chris held a variety of jobs in the culinary industry; however his greatest desire was serving others which he always endeavored to fulfill. He lived in Bruceville-Eddy and filled his years with playing video games, paintballing, whipping up unique culinary dishes for friends and family to enjoy, supporting local bands, fishing, volunteering, reading history, spending time with his family, finding the perfect quotes, but most of all - putting a smile on everyone's face. Chris had a special place in his heart for Stormy Marie and Summer Ann Foley whom he fathered and loved as his own two children.

Guest Book
It's been 8 years. Sky is 8 years old. The kids talk about you all of the time. They talk as if they know you. Sky will say, "Uncle Chris would have so much chasing us around." Meadow says things like, "Uncle Chris was a great cook, and he would know what to make." Lake will say things like, "Uncle Chris would have liked that." They talk as if they know you, and I am glad they feel as close to you as they do. We were close, and it brings warmth to my heart hearing them lovingly bring you into...

Chris, I just want you to know that I miss you more than words can express. I love you with my heart and soul. There is not a day that you are not in my thoughts. It is hard to believe that 8 years have passed since you died. I know you would be really proud of the twins. And you would adore your nieces and nephew. Ross and Bunnie miss you dearly. I Love you son! Until we meet in heaven.

Your face is right by my computer. Sometimes, I pretend we are having a conversation.

Chris, There are no words that express just how much you are missed. We went to Poppa Rollas for your birthday. I had one of the beers that you like. It wasn't to bad. As time goes by it is not getting any easier I just don't have a choice but to accept that you are not here with us anymore. I love you son. Love Mom
