Barney Louis Stagner Jr.

From an early age, Barney demonstrated notable intelligence and resilience, qualities that shaped his distinguished career as an attorney and his role as a dedicated husband and father. Throughout his life, he shared wisdom, strength, and steadfast support with those around him.

Despite the challenges presented by ALS, Barney consistently upheld his character and responsibilities as a father, husband, brother, son, and legal professional. He approached each day with courage, composure, and determination that served as an inspiration to his family and friends. Above all, he was deeply committed to his wife, two daughters, family members, and friends, cherishing the time spent with them.

His wife, Dena, was his steadfast partner, sharing in every triumph and challenge, and together they built a life filled with love and laughter. His two daughters, Courtney and Hailey, were the joy of his life, the source of his greatest pride, and the legacy he cherished most. Every laugh, every milestone, every quiet moment with them was treasured. He lived each day with the hope of giving them strength, wisdom, and unconditional love.

While his passing is mourned, his life is honored and remembered for the values he exemplified. His legacy will continue to remind us of the importance of family, the significance of love, and the grace with which one may confront adversity.

He will be remembered with great respect and fondness. Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.

He was preceded in death by his loving mom, Linda (Lulu) and his grandparents.
