Mr. Barry Dean Sanders, age 77, of Louisville, returned to his Heavenly Father on Wednesday, October 8, 2025. Mr. Sanders was born at home in Henry County, Kentucky on September 12, 1948 to the late Oral Lee Sanders and Juanita (Powell) Sanders. He was a proud member of Little Flock Baptist Church and served his country with honor in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War, and he retired from General Electric. In his free time, he embraced the simple pleasures in life as a true "country boy", he loved fishing and hunting. He was also a sharp poker player and loved his games with his best friend, Paul Petrowski. He was a loving and steady father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and friend.

In addition to his parents, his beloved wife, Brenda Sue Sanders and grandson, Hunter Ogle preceded him in death.

He leaves to cherish his memory, his children, Shannon Christensen (Paul) and Stacie Sanders (Shawn); grandchildren, Bradley (Stephanie), Hannah (Dylan), Lauren and Chance; great-grandchildren, Emma, Wrenley and Arabella; sisters, Theresa "Terri" Curtis and Martha Carolyn Foster and a host of other dear family and friends.
