Trevis Ray Barker
In Loving Memory
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of Trevis Ray Barker of Hamilton. He was a beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He left this world on August 18th, 2025. Trevis was born on April 18th, 1947 to Palmer and Ruby Barker in Lockland, Ohio. His life was a testament to love, friendship, and the pursuit of passion.
Trevis is survived by his lifelong best friend, Dorothy Barker, who stood by his side through all of life's journeys. In addition, he leaves two daughters, Kristen Roark (Middletown) and Amanda (Mark) Robinson (Lebanon), whom he was very proud of. He was a devoted grandfather to six grandchildren: Gage (Colby) Taylor (Orlando, FL), Tanner Roark (Middletown). Brenna (Greenwood, IN), Gracey, Cameron, and Ava Robinson (Lebanon). Two sisters: Claudia (Randy) Taylor of Fairfield, and Kim (Dewayne) Howell of Colorado, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. His family was the light of his life, and he cherished every moment with them.
He was preceded in death by his parents and younger sister, Leah Friend.
He served honorably in the US Air Force, where he developed a strong sense of discipline and commitment. Trevis was an active member of his church community at Laurel Avenue Church of Christ in Hamilton, Ohio. He lived his life with purpose and dedication. His devotion continued throughout his life, as he also participated in the Masonic Community by becoming a Free Mason and earning the Scottish Rite on November 1, 2005.
Trevis was known for his passion for motorcycles, music, and guitars. He found joy on the open road and the rhythm of a good tune, often sharing his love for music with family and friends. His spirit was free, and his laughter infectious, drawing people to him effortlessly.
Trevis Ray Barker will be deeply missed but forever remembered. His love, strength, and kindness will resonate in the lives of those he leaves behind. May he rest in peace, knowing his profound impact on his family and friends.
A memorial service is being planned and will be announced at a later date.
