My Dad, Robert (Bob) Franklin Barger, passed away on Friday, May 29. Born to parents from the Greatest Generation, he emulated their service to country and unmatched work ethic. He fought a long and intense cancer battle that began more than five years ago. It was during the hardest times of this battle I witnessed his faith in and reliance on God grow stronger. Our family is comforted knowing his mind and body are at peace.
On Friday, June 5, 2026, we will receive friends from 1:30PM-2:45PM at the Arab Heritage Memorial Chapel followed by the funeral service at 3:00PM. A graveside burial with full military honors will immediately follow at Gilliam Springs Baptist Church Cemetery.
