Kenneth Alan Barras

BURLEY - Kenneth Alan Barras, 51, passed away peacefully in his home on Thursday, Nov. 20, 2014.

He was born on Sept. 21, 1963, in Rupert, Idaho, the son of Fred Arthur and Velda (Hunsaker) Barras. He graduated from Minico High School in 1981, and went on to earn a degree in aircraft mechanics from Idaho State University in Pocatello. He later enjoyed a successful career in farming. After retiring from farming, he went on to sell farming equipment. Ken loved to hunt, fish, and garden. However, what brought him his greatest joy was spending time with his family, especially his six grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his father, Fred Barras.

Dad, we will miss your good advice, infectious laugh, your hard work ethic, and sense of humor. You’ll always be on our minds and in our heart. “PGO”
