Lynn Heveran Barker wrote a sympathy message

“I will miss my dear cousin so very much. Although our lives took different paths, the love of family never ceased. We survived grammar school and high school together and whatever life threw at us. I will miss running into him unexpectedly and receiving one of his big ol’ bear hugs and a great catch-up conversation. His impact on all of us and this world is profound. Rest peacefully, cuz, say hey to all who welcome you into heaven with a well-deserved hell-raising celebration! Keep an eye on us”
