“I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7 Walther Barnett, 70, went peacefully to be with our Lord the morning of January 22, 2012 at Baylor University Medical Center surrounded by his wife, two daughters and son-in-law. He will forever be remembered by his loving wife of nearly 50 years Faye McDaniel Barnett, his beloved daughters Shelly Barnett Moss and Erica Barnett Ysbrand, his son-in-law Rodney Moss, and his treasured grandchildren Hannah, Ian, Olivia and Sophie Moss, and Ethan and Jaxie Ysbrand, along with countless nieces, nephews and friends who were blessed to have known him. He was the oldest of four children and is survived by two sisters, Judybeth Barnett and Chloeen Oney, as well as by his brother Paul Barnett. He was born and raised in Sand Springs, Oklahoma where he attained the honor of Eagle Scout and graduated from Sand Springs High School where he happily attended his 50th high school reunion two years ago and his 70th birthday party in October. While attending Connors State College, he met his future wife, and they transferred to his pride and joy, Oklahoma State University and married on August 30, 1962. While working for Continental Emsco Oil Field Supply, he and his young family were transferred to Dallas in 1968 where he finished his degree at North Texas State University. After retiring from Continental Emsco in 1994, he excelled at his work as Lead Analyst at First American by helping to set national standards for Electronic Data Interchange; he took great pride in his work. His greatest and proudest accomplishment was his family. He loved time spent with his wife, children and grandchildren through travelling, volunteering, going to sporting events, watching the children’s activities, and teaching all who would listen the history of Texas (especially the Alamo!) and the United States. Walther, or Papa as he was known, was the one who knew it all and could answer any question or find the answer instantly. He leaves a lasting legacy through all of them and through all who knew him. A memorial service will be held on January 30, 2012 at 4:00 PM at Turrentine, Jackson & Morrow. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider donations to the American Heart Association or the American Cancer Society.
