Andy Ray Barber passed away unexpectedly at his home in Haxtun on May 14, 2022.

Andy was born on April 15, 1987 in Haxtun, the son of Randy Barber and Dawn Yack. He moved out of his parents' house when he was 18 and went on to have a family of his own. He brought us two beautiful girls Ariya Barber and Nova Barber. Andy proved himself to be a wonderful and dedicated father. He always put in the extra effort for his girls as they were truly the love of his life.

Andy had a heart of gold and would go out of his way to help anyone. His courageous smile and outgoing personality was sure to make you his friend. In his free time Andy enjoyed his best furry friend Ein and spending time with family.

Andy is survived by his daughters Ariya and Nova Barber; father Randy and wife Christa Barber; mother Dawn Yack; brother Cody and wife Cassie Barber; sister Cassidy Barber; niece Kaleigh Haugen; step-sibling Candace Harms, Ray Serrato, Avery Yack, Josh Yack and Tara and husband Braden Piel, Ashley Amen and Shane and wife Kathy Amen; as well as numerous aunts, uncles and many cousins.
