Barry Haynie

Barry Dean Haynie was born Sept. 19, 1957, in Altus to Ronald and Sue (Parks) Haynie. He died peacefully at his home, surrounded by his family, on July 16, 2024, after a courageous battle with cancer. Barry grew up in a farming family, played sports, loved his motorcycles and found his forever sweetheart in Susan Kay Killebrew in the second grade.

They graduated from Tipton High School and attended Oklahoma State University together. They were married on Aug. 2, 1980, and began their 43year honeymoon.

Barry would always say he had to hurry up and finish his last class and graduate because he and Susan found out their first child, Brandon Earl, was on the way.

Three years later they welcomed Brooke Nicole.

God would eventually lead the family to Kingfisher where Barry started his 33-year career at Cimarron Electric. He was proud of his work and loved serving the co-op’s members. Barry took great pride in his devotion to Susan and his children and grandchildren. He devoted endless hours and energy to making memories on family trips, fishing, golfing, football games and countless get-togethers. He had a blast with his children and grandchildren and was a true family man. Barry loved God and was deeply passionate about his daily walk with the Lord. He demonstrated his love for God by tirelessly helping others. He was a great encourager to all.

He served as an elder at the Kingfisher Church of Christ and spent many years on the board of directors at Lariat Creek Christian Camp, a place he loved. Barry is survived by his wife Susan Kay Haynie, his son Brandon Haynie and wife Rebekah, his daughter Brooke Lemmons and husband Jonathan, his grandchildren Callan, Tatum and Maisie Lemmons and Sutton and Deacon Haynie, his mother Martha Sue Haynie, his sister Beverly Schettler and husband Leon, and his sister Shari Freeland and husband Joey.

He also leaves behind many beloved nieces and nephews whom he loved as his own.

He was preceded in death by his father, Ronald Haynie.

A memorial service to celebrate the life of Barry will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 20, at the Kingfisher Church of Christ. Services are under the direction of Wilson Funeral Home-Kingfisher.
