Denver Barger

Denver Doyle Barger, 87, of Austin, Arkansas, laid down his tools and called it a life on July 23, 2015. After growing up on a family farm, he spent the better part of his adult life working in all phases of road construction and heavy equipment operation. During these working years, if the right parts or equipment weren't available, he and his crews simply built it.
He is preceded in death by one son, Timothy Lynn Barger; sisters, Lois Sentell, Lorene Guyot, and Mae Faulkner; and brothers, J. L. Barger and Darrell Barger.
He is survived by two sons, Dr. Denver L. Barger (Malinda) and Danny Doyle Barger (fiancé Suzanne); and sister, Louise Whaley. Grandchildren include Kaitlin Barger, Dr. Tara Scallion, Toni Bahn (Chris), Bryan Barger; and four great-grandchildren.
