Barry Dalton Evans

Barry Dalton Evans of Granbury, TX was born on July 19, 1955 in Cleburne, TX to Choc and Louise Evans of Joshua, TX. Barry passed from his earthly home on November 6, 2026 in Fort Worth, TX after a 24 year battle with heart disease. He is survived by his daughter Tina; granddaughters Shay and Chloe; great grandchildren Rose Marie, Ruth, Rowdy and Hazel; brother Steve and wife Kim; sister Jan and husband Randy; extended family and many friends. He was preceded in death by his parents.

Barry attended Joshua schools and graduated from Joshua High School in 1973. He was a student in the first Building Trades program at JHS which led to a life-long career in construction. He was skilled in many trades and his career included the construction and remodeling of many residential homes and commercial buildings.

From an early age, Barry was drawn to and loved the outdoors. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and camping and especially looked forward to deer season each year. Through the years he hunted in Texas, Colorado, Idaho and Alaska. He was truly at home in the deer stand and could spend hours just watching and waiting thoroughly enjoying the experience. Some of his favorite memories were times spent at “the cabin” in Colorado with family and friends and he valued the camaraderie he had with his hunting buddies.

In his retirement, Barry spent time in his workshop tinkering and repairing anything that needed “fixing”. He had a life-long love of motorcycles and completely restored a 1970 Honda 350 that was the same model he had ridden as a teenager.

Barry will be remembered as a reliable, hard-working, dedicated man. He valued honesty and being true to your word. He fought a long, hard health battle courageously and was determined to live his life on his terms. He was loved and will be dearly missed by family and friends. He requested no funeral service; however, there will be a gathering for family and friends at a future date.
