Obituary
Send FlowersCollier E. Barcus was an adventurous boy who often climbed out his bedroom window or sled off the roof of a shed. "He decided to learn how to rappel by jumping out of his bedroom window on the second story," said his uncle, George Fueschl. Barcus, 21, of McHenry, Ill., was among five soldiers killed July 8 when the Iraqi National Guard headquarters was attacked in Samarra. Barcus grew up playing soldier, creating a play gun out of pipe and duct tape and painting it Army green. Worried about his mischievous streak, his parents sent him to a Wyoming cattle ranch, where he earned his GED. He hoped to one day own his own ranch, but he decided to enlist after watching the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, said his mother, Sandy Barcus. "He believed in what he was doing and wanted to be there," she said. "He believed the Iraqi people needed to be free." Barcus is also survived by his father, Greg Barcus.

To the family and friends of Pfc. Collier E. Barcus:
It has truly been my honor to sign Collier's guest book these past few years. Unfortunately, due to complications from my Multiple Sclerosis, this may be the last message I'm able to write. Please forgive me and know that Collier will always be remembered in my home.
With love and respect ~ Peggy
