Barry Lavell Stevenson, age 62, of Idaho Falls, Idaho, passed away of natural causes on Sunday, November 3, 2019.
Barry was born in Twin Falls, Idaho, to Bud Lavell and Myrna Jane (Griffin) Stevenson on January 10, 1957. He believed in Jesus Christ and possessed a keen understanding of the Gospel.
Barry was a life-long learner and advocate for education which led him to advanced academic degrees and numerous technical certificates. He excelled as a provider and was dedicated to a demanding career in information technology. His professional work took him all over the United States, to parts of Europe, and to India. His desire to learn influenced his personal interests as well. He preferred a simple life and enjoyed reading, fly fishing, bicycling, and woodworking. He also had a passion for music and learned to play the clarinet, soprano saxophone, and had been taking piano lessons for the last several years. Often to the surprise and enjoyment of others, he exhibited an intellectual wit and dexterous sense of humor. His smile, laugh, bear hugs, and reassuring words will be sorely missed.
Barry is survived by his wife of 40 years; sons, Brian of Eugene, Oregon, Adam (Shalaina) of Meridian, Idaho, Peter (Jill) of Dayton, Ohio, and Gregory (Marissa) of Logan, Utah; Heather Winegardner, of Salem, Oregon; grandchildren, Brennan, Asher, Bristal, Hollyn, Remington, Clara, Kieran, Turner, Jude, William, and Laurel; his parents and siblings, Bruce, Jeni, and Bryce; and many loving extended family members and special friends.
