Dennis was born in Homer, Louisiana on August 6, 1951, to Harold Eugene Barker and Peggy Rushing Barker. He was an independent used car dealer, and owner of Dennis Barker Auto Sales. He loved what he did and the great friends he made doing it. Dennis was a happy, free spirit, a people person, fun-loving, generous man. There was never a dull moment all his years. He was an optimist that always saw the good in everything and everybody. He loved his family and his friends fiercely. He did his best to always be there if someone needed him. He loved riding his Harley with his buddies, riding 4-wheelers in Colorado, along with any mud rides, and going to the lake with family and friends. He loved life, was able to live it to the full. He knew he was blessed as we all were to love him and have him in our lives.
