Christopher (Criss) William Barber
Oct. 31, 1977 – Oct. 16, 2023

Gone yet not forgotten, although we are apart, your spirit lives within us. Criss passed away on Oct. 16, 2023 at his home in McKinleyville.

Criss, nicknamed at a young age after his favorite band KISS, was an amazing friend to all who knew him. He always went the extra mile, never judging, always caring, committed to helping the unfortunate or broken. Born to be wild, Criss loved riding his Harley. He was an avid collector of Star Wars memorabilia. Above all he loved his dad, who he called his Super Hero.

Criss is survived by his father, Herbert Barber Jr. of Mckinleyville, and his mother, Loretta Jean Marie Villneauve of Dunseith, N.D. He is also survived by his sisters; Pamela Hayes, Paula Richards and Tina Barber; and brothers Tracy Aguilar, Herbert Barber III and Michael Barber, who went on before him.

A celebration of life is being planned. Point of contact is Dana Rae Murrin. She can be contacted through Facebook. A ‘Go Fund Me’ for Criss has been established to help with expenses.
