Roy Barton, 74 years of age, passed away June 6, 2016. He was born October 4, 1941 in Delhi, LA. He was a simple man with a great sense of humor and always had someway to make you laugh. He loved his family dearly, he always strove to help his neighbors in any way he could, and he had a strong faith in God. He was a loving and devoted husband, a caring father, and a wonderful grandfather. He loved to fish, doing so any time he could get a chance, and he kept his community supplied with worms. He was a patriot to the core, serving his country in the US Army, and always had an American flag on display. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He is survived by his wife, Patsy Strebeck Lofton Barton of Marthaville, LA; his children, Roy Barton and his wife Vera of Spring Ridge, LA, Kerry Hamlin and her husband Dennis of Olympia, WA, Kenneth Lofton and his wife Jennifer of Bossier City, LA, Johnathon Lofton and his wife Courtney of Lucedale, MS, and Heather McClain and husband Kevin of Shreveport, LA; his grandchildren, Cresta Barton, Carlo Busch, Jr., Shelby Merritt, Kayla Lofton, Caleb Lofton, Hannah McClain, Michael McClain, and Sarah McClain; his great grandchildren, Angela Busch, Roman Delrie, Sky Bush, Hayley Merritt, and Trinity Delrie; his mother, Julia Grantham Barton of Spring Ridge, LA; his brother, Gene Barton and wife Barbara of Jeanerette, LA; and two sisters, Annette Barton Withers and her husband Bill of Spring Ridge, LA and Carolyn Barton Brown and her husband Dewel of Vivian, LA.
