Not sure what to say?

Your Father was always a joy to talk with. He was a true gentlemen.

We remember Dan and Nancy so well from our time as members of Ansley Golf Club. Our paths usually crossed in the Fitness Center and we marveled at their strength and endurance. The picture of Dan you have here on the website is exactly how we remember him. He always had a smile on his face and a kind word to everyone. It is only in reading about Dan that we learned his beloved Nancy had passed on. We offer our sincere condolences to the family on both these losses. They were a shining example...

Dan was by definition a "towering giant" He was my friend, mentor & idol My favorite memory : I was the Easter Bunny" for Ansley Garden Club & Dan delivered me in his Rolls Royce to the park in my bunny outfit- the children were scared to death & the mothers horrified- not our best day Carter Davis

Dear Barker family, I saw Mr. Barker's obit today in the AJC. My father, J. R. Gardner, Sr., then of Earle, Arkansas, was in the 84th Infantry Division in WW2. During this time of sorrow, I pray for the Lord to comfort you all as you grieve your loss and celebrate a wonderful life. J. R. (Randy) Gardner, Jr., Johns Creek, GA

Along with others in the health care community, I mourn this tremendous loss and pass along my condolences.

A wonderful FELLOW who touched the lives of so many including myself.. He will be missed by our entire healthcare family!

Our sympathy and prayers to the Barker family, Mike Murrill and the AdventHealth Redmond Executive Team
