| Published by Mohave Daily News Online on Dec. 16, 2022 - Bullhead City, Arizona - Gregory Wayne Barnett passed away on Monday, October 31, 2022, surrounded by his family. Greg was born in Longmont, Colorado on March 14, 1950, to Clifford and Blanch Barnett. He married his high school sweetheart, Peggy, on April 4, 1970. Together they ran a drywall business in Louisville, Colorado, and surrounding areas. In 1986 they decided to move to the Bullhead City area and made that happen in February 1987. Together with Greg's brother, Dennis, they started Desert Rose Construction, Inc. During the 1990's Dennis left the business; Greg and Peggy continued the business until 2022. Greg was very involved in building several homes in the area as well as drywall installation for many of the local contractors. During the later years of the business, he concentrated on remodels and repairs. Greg and Peggy loved traveling in their motorhome. They made frequent trips out to visit their daughter, Amy, in California. They also enjoyed camping with their RV group over the years. For years Greg was active on local bowling leagues, both men's leagues and mixed leagues with his wife. His one regret was he never got that 300 game - 299 was the best he had. Greg also enjoyed playing golf with his wife and friends. Greg and Peggy enjoyed the annual trips to Vegas to attend NHRA drag racing. A long time drag racing enthusiast, he owned a 1969 Chevy Nova that he would take to the Vegas track for racing. Greg is survived by his wife, Peggy of 52 years; his daughters, Cris (Joe) and Amy; brother, Dennis (Marsha); grandson, Nicholas (Kaitlyn); four great-grandchildren, Bruce, Autumn, Abby and Liam. He loved spending time with his family and will be missed by all who knew him. There will be a Celebration of Life for Greg from 2 pm to 5 pm (AZ time) on Sunday, January 15, 2023 at The Elks Lodge #1608, 1000 Lillyhill Dr., Needles, CA 92363. |
