He was a graduate of Franklin County High School, attended Co-Lin, and was currently a valued worker for Wallace Comfort Zone.

He spent his leisure time fishing and hunting with his best friend Logan, and bragging on his beautiful daughters, Makayla and Lucy. Mr. Barrett was a 

lifelong member of Blue Hill United Methodist Church, where he was loved and cherished dearly.

Preceding him in death were his grandparents, Charles and Lucille Shelton and brother-in-law, J.P Upton.

Those left to cherish his memory are his father, Freddie Shelton (Katie); mother, Mitzi Price;

son, Barrett Logan Shelton (Sierrah Stabler); daughters, Makayla Brooke Shelton and Lucy Rivers Shelton;

sister, Amanda Upton Bergeron and husband Jake; special nephews, Gavin and Trajan Upton; and grandparents,

George and Chris Price and Paula Walker. He is also survived by many family members and friends who loved him dearly.

We will always miss his smile, big hugs, and his love for everyone he met. We love you dearly, our dad, friend, son, best brother, and uncle. Merry Christmas, we all love you BIG! BIG! Until we see you again “B”.

Oh my goodness, you’ve helped me out of some binds! what fun we’ve had! And the heartache we shared too. Your b/d is 10/378 , mine 11/2/78. Our mamas were pregnant together. Now I’m one year older than u. Oh Barrett, I love you and I know you loved me. I miss you so much. Until we meet again my friend
