The cause of death was cancer.
Steve was born in Omaha, Nebraska and as a Boy Scout in Redding, California, achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. Steve lived in many places, and moved to Hanford in 1997.
He worked as a Purchasing Agent at Leprino until 2010.
Steve is survived by his two children, Robert Barrett of Forest Grove, Oregon, and Windy Barrett of Cadillac, Michigan, and his wife of 28 years, Marie Edmonds Barrett and her sons, Thomas and Dave Edmonds.
Steve was proud of his service in the U.S. Army, which included his time in Viet Nam as a helicopter mechanic and door gunner. He was a humble man of faith and is now at home to be with his Lord.
