Boots was a great guy and will be missed by many. I met Boots while I worked a short time at Gladstan as a Starter (1997-8). I knew of him before I met him, because my Dad grew up in Spring Lake and knew him. He was a true gentleman that loved the game of golf, and he had a natural talent for it. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.

Boots and I became fast friends through our love of golf and telling stories. Him doing most of the telling, and I doing most of the listening. He would come up with stories and jokes that could hold your attention from tee to green. He and I spent many hours talking on the phone when he wasn't able to get out and about. Talking about his family mostly and him telling me of the old days at the pool hall

Talking about his family mostly and him telling me of the old days at the pool hall and when he was on the road selling red gold.
I will miss his conversations and story telling sessions. It was an honor and a pleasure just knowing Boots, and being part of his "Fossil" group.
May God Bless all of his surviving family members.

Wherever he was Boots lit up the room with his smile. Though our family knew him only during the final year of his life we were much blessed by his warmth, spirit, faith, and charisma. He has indeed left a tremendous legacy for his family and will be warmly remembered by all those who associated with him.

"Boots" Barnett was an amazing man. In the first moments of meeting this ruggedly hansome guy I was hooked by his charm and thoroughly enthralled by his stories. Even though I only had the pleasure of his company for a few years, he was already in his 80's at the time, it seemed like we had been friends forever. His jokes were always funny and sometimes unexpectedly off-color which made them hilarious. I will always cherrish the fond momories I have of Boots.

Sending my love and condolences to the entire Barnett family;

We loved to visit with Boots when he lived in his condo in Payson. He loved the food we would take him to eat and would always call back and tell us it was the best ever. He was so appreciative of all that we and Kenton and Cheryl Phillips and family did for him.
Boots was a great story teller. He never forgot and experience and he enjoyed telling them to us.
We loved him as one of our own family, and we know what a good man he was. We miss him.

I met Boots at Gladstan golf course in 1989 and little did I know how much impact he would have on my life. We became good friends from the start, I felt like I had known him all my life. We had many conversations through the years and some very confidential and personal and it was through these conversations that I grew to love him. I am a better man today because of the love and advice he gave me. I love Boots Barnett and I will miss him so much.

To the Family of Boots Barnett
Was sorry to hear of Boots passing, I stopped with my Father (Vance Barnett) and visited him in Payson before he moved, and that was the first time I had seen him since he lived next to my Grand Parents Milton and Gladys. My Cousin Gary Adamson and I loved to go over to your parnets house because they always treated us so good, and we thought your Mother was the prettiest thing walking.
Anyway my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time!!
Jack & Judy Barnett
