Michael Robert Barry
Michael Robert Barry of Houston, Texas, passed away June 4, 2024. He was born June 6, 1949, to Robert Henry Barry, Jr., and Edith Jensen Barry. Mike is survived by his wife of 38 years, Pamela Cobb Barry; son Alex Barry of Dallas; daughter Shannon Revels and son-in-law Tim of Austin; grandchildren Brynn, Collin, Reid, and Nathaniel; sisters Joan Bockenkamp and husband Bill; Lynda Carson; Sheila Moritz and husband Joe; Elisa Smith; Nina Nugent Soland and husband Fred; and many nephews.
Mike was a CPA and began his career with Markwardt and McGuire, PC before eventually becoming a partner, and continued to practice public accounting until his retirement in 2018. He was an avid fisherman and licensed pilot, though Mike’s favorite pastime was spending time with his family. As a grateful organ transplant recipient, Mike donated his eyes to Baylor Eye Bank to be used for research and education.
A visitation will be held Wednesday, June 12, at 9:00am, followed by a 10:00am funeral Mass at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Houston, 6800 Buffalo Speedway. Burial will take place at Forest Park Westheimer, 12800 Westheimer Road, following the service.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to MD Anderson, American Lung Association, or your favorite charity.
Mike was a great person in all regards and a very personal long time friend. We fished together, we flew together, and we spent a lot of fun time just talking and visiting. We had a lot of fun harassing and being harassed by his many personal and work related computers. I will sure miss Mike.
My deepest sympathy goes out to Pam, Alex, Shannon, and all of Mike’s large family. He will be deeply missed by all.
