Joseph Ryan Barlow - 12/27/2007

Class of 2001

Our beloved husband, son, and brother Joseph Ryan Barlow passed away suddenly at the age of twenty-four on Thursday Dec. 27, 2007 while working in Richfield Utah. Joe was born in Provo Utah on December 30, 1982, to Keith Barlow and Colleen Workman Barlow.

He resided in Provo until the age of 5 and then grew up in Pleasant Grove, graduating from Pleasant Grove High School in 2001 where he loved playing football.

He married his high school sweetheart and the love of his life, Maryn Porter, on May 2, 2003 in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple. They spent most of their married life in Lehi Utah. They were never totally happy unless they were together.

Joe was an avid outdoorsman and loved cooking, camping, 4-wheeling, fishing, and hunting. He was a master craftsman and loved working with metal, especially copper. At the time of his death Joe was employed by Warburtons Inc. in Pleasant Grove.

Joey is survived by his loving wife and parents, and by three brothers and one sister: Matthew (Jackie) Barlow, Provo; Joshua (Trisha) Barlow, Provo; Amanda (Ivan) Mills, Corinne UT; and Jacob Barlow of Pleasant Grove and by 3 nieces and 3 nephews on the Barlow side.

He is also survived by Maryn's family: her parents Ed and Jan Porter of Springville; brothers-in-law Craig (Laura) Porter, San Diego CA; Jeffrey (Tiffany) Porter, Charlottesville VA; sisters- in-law Holly Porter, Amarillo TX; Katie (Adam) Leonard, Santaquin; Brooke Porter, St. George and by thirteen nieces and nephews.

Joe loved to tease and had a terrific sense of humor. He delighted in helping those around him. He was never happier than when cooking a tinfoil dinner up the canyon or riding the 4-wheeler with Maryn or the nieces and nephews.

Joey we love you s-o-o much! We'll love you forever plus a year and a day. Until we meet again.
