Earl S. Barrent

Earl Stedman Barrent was born November 7, 1920, in Denver, Colorado, where he lived his 95 years. He died Monday, February 1, 2016. He graduated from Englewood High School and served his country in the United States Army from April, 1943 to January, 1946. As a Surgical Technician in WW II, Earl was deployed to the China Burma India (CBI) Theater. After his discharge from the Army, he married, Elsie, and their son, Gary, was born in 1952. Earl's career followed his fathers. As a printer, he worked for his Dad, Samuel ""Sam"" Barrent, for many years and after experience and training, worked for the Government Printing Office until his retirement. It was at the Government Printing Office he met and married his wife of 39 years, Helen Likkel. As a Step-Father to Helen's children, Ilene and Don Schneider, Eldon and Helen Likkel, Doug and Acqunetta Likkel, Earl enjoyed many years of family travel and became an avid sports fan. After retirement, Earl and Helen enjoyed traveling in their camping trailer and spending time in their cozy condominium in Cripple Creek, Colorado. For thirty years, Earl attended and served in leadership at the Holiday Hills Community Church in Federal Heights, Colorado. Upon Helen's death in July of 2015, Earl lived the last few months of his life in a private care-giving home. He died peacefully and quietly, as he lived his life, at the Balfour Tru Care Hospice Center in Louisville, Colorado. Earl's private burial service at Ft. Logan National Cemetery will include full military honors and a commemorative card, decorated with a flag and an eagle that reads, ""They that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength. They will mount up on wings as an eagle. They will run and not be weary, they will walk and not faint."" Isaiah 40:31.
