Life story

Robert Garn Barnson loved to raise Quarter Horses and he loved to share his knowledge of horses with his family and others. He loved

the outdoors and loved to hunt, fish, and camp. He and Ann spent many summer weekends on the mountain. He spent 10 years painting mountain scenes and animals from his memories.

Robert loved his family and was so proud of his children. He told them all often and he told everyone he talked to about their accomplishments. He was also proud of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Robert and Ann have 4 children, 16 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren. When the grandchildren were little, they would get a “Pocket Dollar” when they hugged him as they left. Now, his great-grandchildren get a “Pocket Two-Dollar” every time they hug him as they leave.

He loved his extended family and the Gleave reunion at Pine Lake every July was one of his favorite vacations. He never missed it while he was healthy enough to go.

Robert's later years were spent in leather work. He repaired old saddles and made beautiful leather belts and tack.

Anything to do with leather, he could figure out how to do it. He was talented and he loved his family.

Robert was a Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He believed strongly in Eternal life and was met by those family members gone before.

Robert is so very loved and missed by so many, especially his family, but we know he is with us daily watching over us.
