Barry Daniel Barrilleaux

Barry graduated from the University of Southwest Louisiana in 1977 with a B.S. in Geology. He began his career with Conoco Inc. in Lake Charles, LA and was soon transferred to Houston, TX where he met and married his wife. He spent the 35 years following his passion for oil and gas exploration and finally landing in Trophy Club, Texas where he would retire in 2018.

Barry earned the Eagle Scout Award in high school, became a licensed pilot in his early 20’s and was a brother in the Kappa Sigma Fraternity in college. He was a proud member of the Republican Party, a member of the Statue of Liberty Restoration Foundation, the AAPG, the Houston & US Geological Societies, as well as the Texas Board of Professional Geoscientists.

His favorite days were spent cooking gumbo or grilling Barry burgers for his family. He enjoyed building and flying remote control model airplanes and rockets with his son, challenging his wife to the daily NY Times crossword puzzle, dancing with his daughters and coaching all sports that each of his children participated in.
