Barry Needham Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Columbia Funeral Home & Cremation Center on May 1, 2024.
Barry Edward Needham passed peacefully with his daughters by his side, in his daughter Trina's home in Oregon, on April 25, 2024.
He braved lung cancer with an indelible, unmatched sense of humor and courage.
Barry was a long time resident of Fort Collins, Colorado, prior to moving closer to his daughter in Oregon.
He served in the United States Air Force during Vietnam and later shared his technical skills in the mechanical and electronics field. He was a strong bowler, dedicated athlete, and avid gardener. Most of all, Barry loved spending time with his family.
Barry is survived by his daughters, Trina Willy (of Vernonia, Oregon) and Trisha Hedington (of Warsaw, Indiana) and his son, Daniel Needham (of Fort Collins, Colorado). He has 10 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren.
A Celebration of Life will be held in Fort Collins, in July of 2024.
