Richard Dale Barrett was born on August 14, 1948 in Denison, TX to H.B. and Maggie Hunt Barrett. He entered his heavenly home on January 7, 2021, and we know he is breathing easy with his Savior.
Richard graduated from Sherman High School in 1967. He was a well known paint contractor and insurance agent in the North Texas area.
Richard was preceded in death by his parents, sister Gina Barrett, and brothers Alton Barrett and Jerry Barrett.
Richard is survived by his wife of 51 years, Lanettie Barrett, of Howe, TX. They met on a blind date and were married 3 months later. Dad always said he loved Mom as much as meat loves salt.
He is also survived by daughter Amy Hampton and husband D.M. of Sherman; son Kevin Barrett and wife Nici of McKinney; granddaughter Ally Hampton of Denton, TX, and grandson Luke Barrett Hampton of Sherman, TX. He is also survived by his brother Glen Barrett of Van Alstyne, TX, sister Sheri Mroz of Port St. Lucie, Florida and numerous nieces and nephews.
If you knew Richard you know that he was competitive. Over the years Richard enjoyed entering and winning multiple chili cook-offs with his son and son-in-law. Richard was an exceptional 42 player, and he passed this trait on to both of his children. He played in, and won several online and in person tournaments. Not to mention the many championships he won at the Gentry Family Reunions. Many memories were made with family and friends playing 42. Richard loved his church and Sunday school class. He loved to study and discuss the Word of God. Two of the greatest joys in his life were his grandchildren. He always made every effort to attend their basketball, volleyball, baseball games, swim meets, and band concerts.
The family would like to express gratitude to the nurses at WNJ. Thank you for being with him when we couldn't.
