Barry Armes, 80, of Lubbock, passed away Tuesday, January 18, 2022 in Lubbock. He was born October 17, 1941 in Beaumont, Texas to Troy Armes and Beverly Chapain Armes.
Barry married his high school sweetheart, Stacie Hart June 16, 1961 in Littlefield. He was a hard worker, an overachiever, and a wonderful provider for his family. Barry had a tremendous desire to succeed and set the bar high for his family to do the same. He was a great businessman, who valued his customers and the relationships he made with them. In 1972, he started Armes Equipment and then later expanded when he bought Morton and Levelland locations. He also owned and operated the auto dealership in town, Armes Olds/Pontiac/GMC. He had a love for agriculture and was a proud farmer. He was a risk taker and an adventurous soul. He had no fear and was always willing to conquer challenges and learn new things. If he set his mind to something, there wasn't anything he couldn't master. He learned how to fly airplanes, liked to ride motorcycles, enjoyed waterskiing and snow skiing, and was an avid photographer. Everything he did, he did at full throttle. He loved cars and boats, sports, and was a talented woodworker. He created many keepsake items for his family and built many grandfather clocks for the church fundraisers. If someone saw something constructed out of wood and mentioned to Barry they liked it, he was already creating a plan for it in his head. He loved his family more than anything and was a devoted husband, father and 'Pop" to not only his grandchildren, but to all who knew him. He enjoyed taking his family on many vacations and making memories with them, especially in their RV, which he and Stacie visited almost every state in. Barry was a tremendous marksman, and actively involved with DEA agents in Lubbock to help with the war on drugs and had a strong desire to rid the community of drugs. He was the most non-judgemental and forgiving man, who loved people and his community. Barry was a great storyteller, who could talk to anyone. Most of all, he was a man of God who was strong in his faith. He attended First United Methodist Church in Littlefield, where he also taught Sunday School and worked with the youth.
He is survived by his wife, Stacie Armes of Lubbock; a daughter, Rebecca Roberson of Littlefield; three grandchildren, Remington Roberson and wife Hannah of Littlefield, Jordan Arce of Lubbock and Rachel Roberson of San Angelo; and three great grandchildren, Jaedon Davidson, Ledger Blaze Freeman and London Knox Freeman. Waiting for him in Heaven was his parents; a daughter, Angela Armes Freeman; a grandson that he loved like a son, Andrew Freeman; and a son-in-law, Randy Roberson.
