Andy Barber

Andy Ray Barber died unexpectedly at his home in Haxtun on May 14, 2022. He was born 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 two beautiful girls into the world, Ariya Barber (10) and Nova Barber (6). 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 two daughters, Ariya and Nova Barber; father, Randy and Christa Barber; mother, Dawn Yack; brother, Cody and Cassie Barber; sister, Cassidy Barber, and niece, Kaleigh Haugen; seven step-siblings, Candance Harms, Ray Serrato, Avery Yack, Josh Yack, Tara and Braden Piel, Ashley Amen, and Shane and Kathy Amen; numerous aunts and uncles; and many cousins.
