Our kind, gentle, and loving uncle, Don, has joined his wife (Andree M.L. Barnett), sister (Afton Barnett Hall), and parents (George A. Barnett and Frances Clare Harper Barnett) in heaven-listening to Big Band music, discussing politics and how to create a healthy nation, and telling the stories of his life with his sense of humor and that spark in his eyes.
Don was born December 10, 1923 in Payson, Utah, where he and his family lived until moving to Murray, Utah, when Don was a junior in high school.
In 1942, Don graduated from Murray High School, where he received the Bausch and Lomb award for being the outstanding science student in his graduating class and had a lead role in the high school operetta, Pirates of Penzance.
Don served our country in WWII in Europe, where he was severly wounded. He was honored as a Purple Heart recipient. While recovering from his injuries, Don met the love of his life, Andree Marie Louise Paheau.
Don and Andree were married on August 6, 1947 and lived rich and productive lives traveling between their homes in the United States and Belgium, as well as all over Europe. Don was a refined individual who mingled well with the colleagues of his professor wife.
After serving our country in WWII, Don graduated from Stanford University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering and had a distinguished career with the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation.
Don was part of a team that worked on the Colorado Water Project designating where dam sites would be located for the Glenn Canyon and Flaming Gorge projects, among others.
Don is survived by brothers, Max A. Barnett (Elise) and J. Dean Barnett (Joan), as well as his sister's son, Van Hall. Van spent the majority of the last six years caring for Don and all of his affairs, and they formed a beautiful relationship through this experience.
The family held a private service with military honors for Don on Tuesday, February 3, 2015, and would like to thank those who attended.
