My condolences to the family at this difficult time. I was friends with his Dad when we were kids. Didn´t get to know Rusty until he was a young man, but he was such a good hearted guy! And he was always laughing & joking! He´ll always be that young man to me

Dear Rusty,
I hope heaven is every bit as beautiful as you ever dreamed! I know your mama and daddy were so happy to see you! Mamaw and Papaw loved them some Rusty and I bet Mamaw is just over the moon to see you. It´s apparent the impact you had on your friends and family in the community! Life took us apart from one another but we were still family at the end of each and every day. You were the last man of our Barker family, and it will be kept a legacy as will you.
My fondest memory is when I was a kid and you were a teenager and you had to babysit me so our Dads could work on the dirt track car. I´ll never forget hiding under the coffee table.
We spoke just a couple months ago and I was so happy to know you were doing well. I wish life would have given us more time together, and more time to reminisce on the old days when things were simple.
Momma and Daddy were so sad to hear of your passing. They send prayers and condolences to your daughters.
We love you Rusty and hope you are riding that bike on the streets of gold. Being gear heads I guess we got it honest.
Your cousin, Amber Barker/ Gambino
Your Aunt and Uncle, Mickey and Rhonda Barker.
