Obituary

Michael James Ku’uipo Barton
October 2nd 1978 ~ July 6th 2011
Son~ Brother ~ Husband ~ Father ~ Grandson ~ Nephew ~ Cousin

Survived by a loving family, wife Bernadette, son Michael Jr , father James P. Barton, twin brother Matthew P. Barton, sisters Marthalynn Bagley, L. Michelle Barton, Eva Kukahiko, Noelani Bradford , grandmother Rachel Kukahiko, also several extended family members: Kukahiko’s, Barton’s, Golyzniak’s, Hinsee’s, Brockman’s, Wafer’s, Bagley’s, Lang’s, Gifford’s, Nikami’s, Markel’s, White’s, Schneider’s, Vincent’s etc, etc, etc.

Michael was a very sweet man. We will remember him with fondness and joy. As tough as he wanted the exterior to be his heart always showed through.
He loved the outdoors. Nature was a huge part of his life and would want to take his son Michael Jr out every chance he got. He was a machinist by trade and by choice, he loved what he did and he loved the guys he worked with.

He was a fierce friend and he loved his family even more.
Michael was a devoted father who doted on his son and a loving husband that always felt lucky to have Bernadette in his life.
A Benevolent Account was opened for Michael Barton Jr – age 6 – at BECU aka Boeing Employees Credit Union acct # 3587791407 Donations can be made through his name or the account number at any credit union and they will transfer it to BECU.

Michael may be gone but NEVER forgotten. Somewhere over the rainbow we will join him someday.

I’ve know The Barton Twins and Bernadette since HS. All three were great people and I am glad that I was able to know Mike even if it was just for a short time! RIP Mike! U will be missed dearly!

I remember the Barton twins from HS too, they were both stupid, violent, arrogant assholes. One less piece of shit in the world, it’s better without him in it. Maybe his son won’t turn out as bad as he was now that he doesn’t have such a bad example in his life.

I never got to meet Michael in person, but I heard wonderful things about him from his Grandmother. I know I would have loved him. Iam sorry for the loss and wish so much that we all lived closer so we could get to know each other better.

I am so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in your loving memories, and in knowing that God is “near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” Psalm 34:18 He has promised to soon “swallow up death forever…and wipe the tears from all faces.” Isaiah 25:8 With deepest sympathy.

Only a great man could have created such a wonderful and special little boy as Michael Jr. ! Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the family. May your memories keep his spirit alive and allow you to share with Mikey as he grows the special person each of you knew as his father.
