Born in San Antonio but deeply rooted in San Marcos, Barron led a life of adventure, fantastic imagination and sly humor. Brief sojourns to England, California, Georgia and Arizona always brought him home to Texas and the land he loved. Lifelong dreams of becoming an actor, singer and playwright sustained his creative impulses to the end. Like everyone, he faced challenges and obstacles, endured successes and failures but ultimately found true purpose on his path to recovery in Abilene, helping countless others along the way.
