at the age of 73 years:     

Barry John Rustad…our beloved legend left this world in great peace on June 1, 2025, in Salmon Arm, BC at age 73.

Barry is survived by his wife Judith of 22 years, his daughter Karlah Rustad, stepchildren Tessa Pullan (Deryl), Hilary Parkyn (Jack), Jacob Pullan (Kristen), grandchildren Joshua Pullan, Frankie and Rhoswen Parkyn, his sisters Karen Bergman, and Janice Duncan (Richard) and numerous other relatives.

Over the last 18 years, Barry lived as a snowbird in Mexico in Lo de Marcos with his wife Judith and numerous visitors yearly over the season, it was so fun. Barry could fix, build and operate most machinery. He was a lumberjack, a purchaser, a machinist, and an RV and car salesman until he retired totally due to his heart condition in 2011. Mexico was his pride, joy and passion. Barry never forgot his friends and always followed social media to see what was happening with them.

So, our Darling Barry, Daddy Bear, Grandpa Bear. “Your smile has gone forever, and your hand we cannot touch, but Forever you are in our hearts we love you very much.”  No service by request.
