Tony Lynn Barrix

Tony Lynn Barrix, 59, a resident of Rockingham, passed away on Wednesday, August 2, 2023 at his home.

Mr. Barrix was born on November 12, 1963 in Rockingham County and was a son of Barry Wayne Barrix Sr. and the late Joyce Diane Harper Barrix. He worked at Sysco Foods for 38 years. He loved his animals, especially his dog "Bella". He raised roosters and was known as "Chicken Man". He loved life, never met a stranger, and to know him was to love him. He was the life of the party, he had a great ability to make others smile, and his sense of humor will be greatly missed.

On June 27, 1986, he married Rebecca Sue Smith Barrix who survives.

Also surviving are his children, Heather Diane Barrix, Tony Lynn Barrix, Jr.; siblings, Barry Wayne "B.W." Barrix, Tina Rolison and husband John, Cynthia Clore and husband Christopher; and one granddaughter, Emma Lee Depoy Barrix.

At his request, the body was cremated, and a Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Our Community Place, 17 East Johnson Street, Harrisonburg, VA 22802; or the Harrisonburg/Rockingham SPCA, PO Box 413, Harrisonburg, VA 22803.
