Thomas Barry Hurley was born on August 2, 1973, in Ponca City, OK to Billy Ray and Jeanette Sue.  They lived in Oklahoma for his early years.  He loved visiting the grandparents, Bo and Trudy Hurley, and Joe and Pat Clifford.

In 1977 Barry and his mother moved to Morrison OK.  Sue was a teacher there and Barry attended kindergarten there.  In 1979 Sue married Roger Robbins and the family lived in rural South Dakota.

Barry attended Hamill Country School, where he found one of his loves, basketball.  He played for the Hamill Pirates all through grade school.  When he reached the eighth grade he transferred to Winner.  He continued to play basketball there.  Barry graduated from Winner in 1991.

After graduation he attended college for a year in Rapid City.  He then moved to Oklahoma, where he was near his beloved Oklahoma Sooners.  In 2004 he married Gina Bartolli, and to that marriage was the blessing of son Bo Jack.

2011 brought another move back to South Dakota for Barry and Bo.  They lived in Winner until Barry married Katie Jo.  They moved to Witten and ran the BarKat Lodge.  Brooks Dean came into the family in October of 2014.  As fate would have it, tragedy struck in February of 2018, when Brooks was killed from a gun accident.

Barry and Bo lived in Witten until Bo's senior year, when they moved back to Winner.  Barry loved sports and being outdoors.  He and his buddy Ben loved to go fishing together.  He cheered on his favorite teams, the Chicago Cubs, the Philadelphia Eagles, the Oklahoma City Thunder and of course the Oklahoma Sooners team.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents Joe and Pat Clifford, Bo and Trudy Hurley and his son Brooks Dean Hurley.

Barry leaves behind his son Bo Jack, parents; Bill and Emma Hurley, Roger and Sue Robbins, brothers; Brad and Brian Hurley, TJ, and Royce Robbins, sister Lisa Robbins, many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
