It's coming up on 9 years since you left....Super bowl and Valentines are coming, today is groundhogs day. 6 more weeks of winter. Pot's legal,there's so much more going on, some good, some not so good. We could be torturing your daughters boyfriends. Torturing people is our specialty. Hay Mark, we all miss you

Found a picture of you yesterday, the dude painting the office left it on the counter. I took it as a message, don't worry, we're thinking about you every day. We all miss you a bunch, say hi to all our loved ones on that side....the most negative word this year is POSITIVE....2020's a bad year, but life is good. And ya the sunsets are killer.....

Hay Mark, just checking out this memorial, lots of smiles with you. Reading story's, watching the video, and just thinking of the times we had. What happened is total BS. Guess I'll never get over it. Wow, I started with a warm heart, and ended up pissed.... Watch over your girls, I know you do....Much Love and Misses from all

June 21, 2020

Hi Mark, I want to wish you a Happy Father's Day! Our family has never gotten over what happened and we are all waiting to hear from your Evelyn and Mae, praying that time comes sooner than later. We all miss you and love you Mark. The hole can't be filled..ever. XXOO

May 29, 2020

Another heavenly birthday for you. Another day to remember the memories you left and the impact you made on my life. Another day of missing you.
It's hard to bare my soul into words, it's too personal, but know you are so loved by me and so many others.
Tommy mentioned in his post "we're kind of living in the twilight zone now" because of the Covid19 Virus. As for me I think I've been living in a different time zone since you've been gone. Things just don't tick the way they use to.
Loving you,
Mom

May 29, 2020

Thinking of you on your birthday, Mark. There are many who wish we could spend this day with you. Some you'll see post here but I'd say there are many more than what you'll see here. Forever in our hearts, you are.

Mark,

Another year has gone by, but that doesn’t mean people miss you less. So many things have happened that would absolutely amaze you. Wish things were different and you were still here with us, along with your girls.

February 18, 2020

Today is one more year of heartbreak and sorrow..we all miss you so much all the time and there is nothing we can do about that. We are still waiting to hear from your girls, it shouldn't be much longer, I pray it is real soon. I think about you all the time and wish you were here with us.
Your Nana turned 91 y.o. 2 days ago, she misses her grandson....we all do. Lots of love to you always, PatsyXXOO

Mark, I was trying to leave a note on your birthday but there must have been many visiting your memorial here because I couldn't access the page! You are always in my heart and I think of you often. There are many broken hearts missing you every single day. I think of your warm, mischievous smile and it makes me smile through my tears. We all miss you so much! I'm still hoping that your girls will come back into your mom's life. They are missing out on the most wonderful woman they could possibly have in their life. So much wrong and heartbreaking. Love you forever, Mark.

Happy Birthday Mark, another year of missing you deeply. No new word on your girls but we certainly haven't forgotten them, it's so sad to think they don't know it's your birthday but someday they will. Everything is so sad. It's hard for everyone, especially your Mom and Sisters. Just know we all miss you so much...

February 18, 2019

Can’t believe it’s been 7 years. I’ll never forget when I found out. I’m sure it feels like an eternity to your mom. she is one of the strongest women I know. It’s one of the things I admire the most about her. I soo wish she could see your girls. I hope one day in the near future she will. Keep looking after your mom and sisters. You are missed oh soo much!

Hi Mark!! It's been awhile but I think about you all the time. It's going on 7 years since you left us but the sadness never goes away, I miss you so much and can't even imagine how your Mom and Sisters deal with the loss. I still cry for them having to deal with all this, they are all waiting for the day to come to see Evelyn and Mae...I know it's coming.
Sorry to be negative, We just all miss our Mark and carry you in our hearts always.
Love you, Patsy XXOO

Hi Mark, sitting here thinking about you as I find myself doing frequently. We all miss you so, we all got cheated !! You, your girls, your family....so overwhelming at times, I hate to see my Sister and your sister's sadness. all of our lives have changed since that horrific day. We talk about you always and for sure you will always be a part of our family and never forgotten. Still hoping to see Evelyn and Mae in the near future. Love you

Happy Fathers Day Mark, 5 am this morning when I heard from my daughter, it made me think of you and your daughters and what your missing. What a shame.....What could've been

May 29, 2018

Happy Birthday Mark, Love you and miss you so much.

May 29, 2018

Mark,
Another birthday passing, I am missing the future that could have been. Wondering how Evelyn and MaeMae are doing. Feeling the anger. Feeling the injustice done. An emptiness is left in my heart that reaches into my soul. At times a feeling of being so incomplete that my heart feels like it’s going to break in two.
Even with all those feelings I am so grateful for the time and memories. My love will always be with you. ♥♥♥

Happy Birthday,
Your Mom

May 28, 2018

I miss you everyday and feel so lucky to have you in my life. Love you lots, Patsy

Just want to say Happy Easter to my nephew. Missing and loving you every day.XXOO

April 1, 2018

Today being April 1st and also Easter has me thinking:
April 1st fifteen years ago, if life had worked out differently it would be your 15th wedding anniversary. I had always said that if I ever got married again it would be on April Fools Day, guess you liked that because you took the date.
Easter 14 years ago you Dad passed away. I often wonder if your with him.
Time is just passing by.

Still loved ♥ Still missed ♥ Memories live on ♥
Mom

You left memories all over. I still see you every where I go, and for a split second, you're still alive. Then reality hits me and you are gone.
You will always be part of me.

His Life

December 19, 2018

2/18/2012: Mark Ray Barger was taken from us too soon. He is survived by his daughters, Evelyn Ray Barger and Marina Mae Jr. Barger, his mother Marcia Barger, his two sisters, Danielle Barger and Karen Barger, and numerous friends and extended family members.
Mark was a generous person who would do anything for his family. He was passionate about carrying on his father's love for old cars, and was proud to be from Clairemont. He made such progress in his life.
His memory will be with us forever to cherish.

Your Nana

January 27, 2023

Nana left this world today, she was getting close to 94 years old. She is now at peace. I told her to look for you and I hope you are there to greet her.
She always loved seeing you on your way to work when she was out on her morning walks and throw you a kiss (many kisses throughout the years). Up until she started getting ill she would never remove her tear drop pendant with a bit of your ashes in it.
You were always close to her heart.
You are truly loved & missed.
I Love you,
Mom

Your Nana
