Barry M. Heuscher, 46

Barry M. Heuscher, 46, of Libby, "passed into the hands of his Lord," Sunday, Jan. 27, 2008, at his home with his brother at his side.

Barry was born June 5, 1961, in Kalispell. He attended grade school in Thompson Falls until 1971 when the family moved back to Kalispell. He then attended St. Matthew's, Linderman and Flathead High School.

Barry worked in Gillette, Wyo., for two years then moved back to Kalispell where he worked at a lumber mill. In 1989 Barry went to Alamon and learned the Telephone trade. This allowed him to travel to many places and live in Salt Lake City for two years, sometimes even working in Hawaii. Barry moved back to Montana in 1992.

Barry enjoyed playing his guitar and keyboards. He remodeled the inside of his home and loved being out in the woods, fishing and panning for gold. Barry was a most caring, giving and loving person.

Barry was preceded in death by his birth father, Charles McWhorter; and his grandparents, Sam and Lucille Maze, and Gilbert McWhorter.

He is survived by his parents, Allan and Lavine Heuscher; his stepmother, Lynn McWhorter; his brother, David Heuscher; his sisters, Carla and Rob Smith, Ellen and Willy Loop, Sherry Heuscher and Jody McWhorter. He is also survived by his stepsister, Rhonda; and stepbrother, Chris; six nephews and five nieces whom he enjoyed so very much; along with several aunts, uncles and cousins.

A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 1, in the Johnson Mortuary Chapel in Kalispell. A reception will follow at the Risen Christ Social Room at 65 West Evergreen Drive in Kalispell.
