Vance Julian Barker

Vance Julian Barker, was born on January 28, 2004, in Hopkins County Texas, and received eternal rest on October 11, 2021. Vance was a member of Hat Creek Cowboy Fellowship. He was attending Lone Star High School in Frisco, however, his plans were to return to Winnsboro to graduate and finish where he started with hopes of achieving top 10% of his class. Vance wanted to be a doctor and specialize in treating cancers with cutting edge laser technology or become a teacher. He was in FFA and a probationary Beta Club Member due to his need to express himself at any time. Vance was highly intelligent and won multiple UIL medals. He had a huge heart with an infectious smile and would do anything to make someone laugh when they were having a bad day. He had a faith that most can only hope for and loved his family without condition, especially his Mother, Sister, and Pawpa. Vance loved to twerk and had a tendency to take his shirt off and clear the dance floor. He was the type of young man that could find the best in anyone and loved people, even when they didn't love him back.
