Mr. Marvin T. Barker

June 16, 1933 - June 2, 2021

Halifax County lost one of its finest tobacco farmers in the state of VA on Wednesday June 2, 2021 when Marvin Barker passed away peacefully surrounded by his 3 loving daughters. Marvin T. Barker, 87, was born on June 16, 1933, to the late Claude Lee and Mary Lizzie Brown Barker. He was many things including a farmer, a father, a grandfather, and a sharp dresser. Marvin was a devoted, hardworking, diligent, and loyal friend, a home-spun inventor, a freemason with a dry wit, and a man of faith. His funky chicken was rivaled by none and his lawn never had a stray blade. He attended Hunting Creek Baptist Church where he served as a deacon and Grace Baptist Church where he taught Awana 1st graders for 13 years. He was a past president of the Halifax County Farm Bureau and he worked at Burlington Industries in Drakes Branch for over 40 years. He is survived by his wife Julia Moss; daughters, Deborah Sizemore (James), Susan Butterworth, and Betty Schutte-Box; grandchildren, Tracey Leigh Krempl, Benjamin Weaver Butterworth, Andrew Carlton Butterworth, John Claiborne Schutte and Elizabeth Barker Schutte; and great grandchildren, Aspen Jade Butterworth and Ella Grace Krempl. In addition, Marvin is survived by his step-son, Chadwick Lee Moss; step-daughter, Shelia Moss Garmon (Clayton) and sisters, Faye Barker Clark and Fleetwood (Fleetie) A.B. Hass. Marvin is preceded in death by his first wife, Jane Bomar Barker, as well as his brother, Ralph Lee Barker and sons-in-law, David Carlton Butterworth and Dr. Jay David Box. Graveside Services will be at 3:00 PM on Saturday, June 5, 2021 at Hunting Creek Baptist Church with Pastor Jack Stewart and Pastor Aubrey Heath officiating. The family will receive friends on Friday, June 4th from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM at the home, 1050 Pete's Trail Clover VA. The family suggests that those wishing to make memorial contributions to please consider Halifax County Cancer Association, P.O Box 1891, Halifax, VA 24558 and Clover Volunteer Fire Department, P.O Box 199, Clover, VA 24534.
