Michael Keith Barrett was born in Dallas, Texas on February 28, 1957, to Charles and Alberteen Barrett. He passed away on July 13, 2025, in Sulphur Springs, Texas. He was a floor finisher, a truck driver, a used car salesman, a son, a brother, an uncle, a Pappaw and a Daddy.

He was preceded in death by his parents, nephew, Chris Barrett, and brother-in-law, Danny Puckett.

He is survived by his 3 brothers Chuck Barrett and wife Sue, Nathan Barrett and wife Linda, Terry Barrett and 1 sister, Gayle Holmes and husband Chuck and many nieces and nephews.

Eight grandchildren, Brandi Parish, William Tolleson, Taylor Kirby and fiancé, Parker Johnston, Kylie Cunningham, Austin Barrett, Maddox Barrett, and Hayden Vose; and six great grandchildren, Christian Acosta, Baylor Parish, Maverick Parish, Bentley Kirby, Kaden Kirby and Kamden Johnston.

Mike loved race cars, motorcycles and playing Santa Claus to all his nephews and nieces. He loved selling cars and getting to personally know his customers, some who would not let any other salesman wait on them. He loved the Lord and loved going to church at the nursing home. He is with Jesus, his mom and dad and we look forward to seeing him again. The family would like to thank the staff at Sunny Springs Nursing Home in Sulphur Springs and the staff of Choice Hospice for their loving care.
