BARNEY, Wayne K., our dear father and loving husband, passed away April 2, 2000 peacefully at his home surrounded by his family in Safford, Arizona after a long and hard fought struggle with pancreatic cancer. He was born October 1st 1929 in Thatcher, Arizona to Orin Buren Barney and Opal Johnson. He lived his boyhood years in Safford, then moved to Clifton where he graduated from high school. He attended EAC, Arizona State and University of Arizona where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science with distinction in Mining, and Master of Science in Metallurgy. He married

He was employed by General Electric in Schenectady, New York where he was a nuclear plant manager. After 15 years in New York, he moved his family to Downer's Grove, Illinois and was employed by Argonne National Labs on the Experimental Breeder Reactor II Project. This project led to a transfer to Idaho Falls, Idaho at the INEEL Site where he remained until 1983. He then moved to Carlsbad, California, with southern California Edison where he worked in nuclear power plant safety at the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant. He retired in 1995. After he and his wife served a mission for the LDS church in Birmingham, Alabama, they moved back to his home town of Safford, Arizona.
Wayne was a kind-hearted, generous person who placed the welfare and comfort of others above himself. He spent his life serving his family and others, including church members, co-workers, business associates, and even strangers. Countless people scattered across the country have been touched by Wayne's selfless actions. He was a man of the highest integrity, a devoted husband and father, and humble servant of the Lord. We miss him already, but are comforted knowing that he has returned in glory to his Father in heaven.
Funeral services were held Thursday, April 6th at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints with Bishop Terry Johnson presiding and conducting. The family prayer was given by Pace Barney.
