Loyd Duane Barney
1942-2023
Park City, UT-Loyd Duane Barney, 80, passed away on April 27, 2023 after a long illness.
Loyd was born on July 5, 1942 to Stella Wilcock and Duane Barney in Salt Lake City, Utah. He graduated from Granite High School, although that doesn't feel particularly relevant at the moment. Loyd spent a number of his childhood years in Joseph, Utah under the care of his grandpa, Edward Wilcock-just "Grandpa" in the numberless stories we have heard about him-but his impact on Loyd might well be defined as whatever comes after profound.
Loyd, known to most as simply "Barney," went on to start his own business (Intermountain Design Incorporated). Without much but a few years of trade school and a certain innate creativity, Barney's business flourished for many years. They designed parts for airplanes, trains, flight simulators, and supposedly delivered a prototype to a member of some government organization or other in the parking lot of a 7-11. I don't think we are supposed to talk about that last one, but I suppose that no longer matters.
Things that describe Barney: avid hunter, scuba diver, maker of strange kites, writer of songs, unflinchingly self-sufficient, stubborn, extremely creative, utterly fascinated with "ancient alien" theories, maker of delicious food, maker of just about anything for that matter, outdoorsman, lover of his children and grandchildren, guy who did all of the things.
Like so many things in life, Barney opted to do death in his own way and requested that there be no services. For anyone wishing to pay their respects, we suggest that you go to a favorite part of the wilderness, catch a fish, or, at the very least, find a good marshmallow roasting stick, look up at the stars and say your peace.
"The life that I lived in is a little like heaven, and my fate, it surely ain't hell. So give up your quibblin' and stop all your snivelin'. Face your friends with a smile. The life you were given is a small piece of heaven, so hold it, and kiss it a while" - Loyd Barney
