MR. STEPHEN G. BARRETT

Mr. Stephen Gregg Barrett, age 60, of Snellville, passed away Friday, April 17, 2026, at his home.

A lifelong resident of Georgia, Mr. Barrett earned a Bachelors degree from Berry College in Rome, and earned a Masters degree from Georgia State University. He retired as operations systems manager for the State of Georgia, Department of Community Affairs, after serving 33 years with the State of Georgia. An avid Georgia Bulldogs fan, he enjoyed gardening, cooking and grilling, watching football, studying history and quizzing his daughters on it. He especially loved spoiling his family of women with affection, flowers, and years of sweet memories full of love, learning, laughter, and enjoying God's creation.

Survivors include his wife, Susan East Barrett of Snellville; children, Callie Garrett (Chase) of Lithonia, Savannah Herring (Josh) of Alpharetta, Lily Solomon (Orion) of Canton, and Hope Barrett of Pensacola, FL; his father and step-mother, Bobby Guess and Lucinda Guess of Valdosta; and step-brothers, Clay Guess and Sam Guess (Amanda), both of Valdosta. Stephen was very excited that his first grandchild will soon arrive. His mother, Doris Louise Barrett preceded him in death.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held at 4:00 p.m., Saturday, May 2, at Truth Tabernacle of Praise/ABBA's House in Stone Mountain.

A family graveside service will be conducted at Blackwood Springs Baptist Cemetery in Calhoun.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions be made to https://healingstrong.org/ which has been a huge source of resources and support during Stephen's journey.
