Yorktown – Turn up the volume… that's how Barry lived. With classic rock blasting, a smile on his face, and a spirit that never played life on low. Barry Wayne Guilliams, 70, passed away on November 16, 2025 at his home, surrounded by his loved ones.

During his lifetime, Barry dedicated much of his free time to doing the things that he enjoyed, which included riding Triumph motorcycles, working on his Volkswagen bug, listening to loud classic rock 'n' roll, and spending time with those that he loved most. While many people thought of work as unpleasant, Barry could often be found enjoying his job at George's Realty or doing electrical work and maintenance at his business, G & G Maintenance, which he shared with his wife.

Barry was preceded in death by his parents, Essie and Clarence Guilliams; his daughter, Melissa Guilliams; his brother, Hansford Guilliams; his sisters, Muriel Guilliams and Joyce Martin; his father-in-law, Alvin 'Honey' Adams; and his Brothers-in-law, Larry Carnahan, Pat McMahon, Lyle Hedden, Neil Pickett, and Tommy Martin.

Barry will be remembered by his wife of 33 years, Rhonda Adams Guilliams; his three children, Trad Guilliams, Carmen Schaberl (Shawn) and Colby Guilliams; his three grandchildren, Trenit Walden, Kyla Walden, and Alex Schaberl; his sisters, Sylvia Hedden, Linda Purdue (David), Brenda Pickett, Wanda Bishop (Tommy), and Renee Beasley; his brother, Lane Guilliams (Geraldine); a host of nieces and nephews as well as his close friends, George and Michelle Orphanidys. He leaves behind his 3 fur babies: his cats, Cilla and Bizzy and his dog, Holly.

A Graveside Service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, November 21, 2025 at Peninsula Memorial Park.
