Our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Lloyd C. Barker passed away peacefully on May 8, 2008, at St. Joseph Hospital.

Lloyd was a native of Oregon, residing in McKinleyville with his wife of 64 years (six days short of 65 years), Marianne Barker. The first years of their marriage were spent with Lloyd serving in the United States Army in which he was deployed to Europe during WWII. After serving his country, Lloyd returned to the United States and spent many years working in the woods as a logger. After a serious injury in the woods and not knowing if he would ever be able to work again Lloyd defied the odds and found himself employed by Isaacson Motors as a vehicle mechanic in Arcata. Lloyd enjoyed hunting and fishing.

He is survived by his spouse Marianne Barker; sons, Dennis Barker, Dean Barker; daughters, Barbara MacDonald and Pat Cox.
