Brandt Adam Barker passed away in his Riverside home on September 4, 2022. He was 34 years old. Brandt was born at Kaiser Hospital in Fontana on December 11, 1987. He grew up in Fontana, CA and attended South Tamarind Elementary School, FOJAY and FOHI. Years later he went back to school to get his GED. If you knew Brandt, you immediately knew he was one of a kind. He had such a big presence. The way he carried himself, the way he made you laugh even when he wasn’t trying to be funny, above all else, the way he cared for others and how he would make you feel when you were with him.
Brandt had a lot of goals. He went to Electrician school, took wood working classes & signed himself up for many classes at Riverside Community College. Brandt worked for Famous Stars & Straps / Cash Printing for 16 -17 years. He recently got a job at Big 5 Distribution Warehouse. When Brandt wasn’t working, he loved to spend his time trying to catch the biggest fish, bowling a perfect game, Wood working in the garage & countless amounts of hours were spent at the gym. Absolutely none of these things happened without his speaker blasting his favorite music. Above all else, Brandt truly loved his family. He spent most of his time with his mom, sister, baby niece & brother in law. If you talked to Brandt in the last year, you would know how much pride he had in being an uncle.
A day before he passed he said, “I’m surprised how this little baby has brought so much happiness to our family. There is less arguing. Things are better. She is so little but she makes our days better.”
Brandt, we weren’t ready to say goodbye. You are so incredibly loved and so incredibly missed.
