Marvin “Pete” Delbert Barnes was born Feb. 8, 1928, to Marvin Bishop and Marjorie Vail Barnes in Hayden. He spent his childhood there and graduated from Hayden Union High School in 1946.
Pete was proud to serve his country in the Army during the Korean War. After two years in the service, he came home, and on Dec. 28, 1951, he married the love of his life, Constance “Connie” Louise Weyand. Pete and Connie were blessed with almost 57 years of wonderful marriage before Connie’s passing in October 2008.
Pete farmed in the Hayden area until the couple moved to Cedaredge in 1973, where he spent the next few years farming in Hayden during the summers and selling real estate in Cedaredge during the winters. He retired from real estate to enjoy his many interests, including fishing on Grand Mesa, singing, fly tying and the Eastern Star. He volunteered with his church and in the community, which included serving on several church boards and singing in the church choir. Pete was always available to help out wherever needed.
Pete was an active member of the Order of Eastern Star Spruce Chapter No. 129 and the Hayden Chapter No. 99 and the Fraternal Order of the Masons Lodge in Eckert and Hayden. He also sang with the Black Canyon Barbershop Group for several years.
