Brian Rousseau Barton

BRIAN ROUSSEAU BARTON, 66, of St. Albans, went home to be with the Lord on October 9, 2025, at home surrounded by his loving family.
Brian was a devoted man whose love for his family, faith, and laughter will never be forgotten. A proud Dallas Cowboys fan and a true friend to all animals, he filled every room with his unforgettable laugh and generous heart. His life was a testament to strength, love, and unwavering faith that God would heal him and now, he is whole again in His presence.
He is survived by his loving children, Hannah Eskins (Caleb) and Benjamin; his treasured grandson, Daniel, who brought endless joy to his days; his sisters, Brenda Barton, Vicky Fields, and Joanie (Greg) Schirtzinger; and his brother, Craig (Tina Barton). Multiple nieces and nephews. He also leaves behind his former wife and dear friend, Michelle Barton, whom he loved deeply and with whom he shared many cherished years and memories. He was welcomed into heaven by his parents and his beloved twin brother, who went before him.
Brian's spirit will live on in every smile, every story, and every heart he touched.

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
Psalm 34:18
