Christian "Chris"

Barrera

Christian Michael Barrera was born on October 4, 1977 in Orange, CA. He died on March 17, 2023 in Hollister, CA. He is survived by his Mom and Stepdad, Toni and David Smith, and his Dad and Stepmom, Michael and Jody Barrera. He is also survived by his siblings: Taunya, Robert, Nathaniel, Joshua, Kathryn, Sarah, Stephen, Shannon, Brian, Robin, David, Mathew, and Paul, as well as many nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his Aunts: Robin Rodgers Shields and Kathy Barrera Davis, his Uncles: Mark Rodgers and John Rodgers and his 95 year old Grandmother Julia Barrera. Chris didn't have children of his own but was so loved by his nieces and nephews.

Chris had a vibrant spirit, and his light shone bright. He was joyful and generous with his time and energy. Chris had two passions in life- theater and cooking. If you were fortunate to come in contact with him in either of these circles, you saw it firsthand. Chris held his friends as family, and he will be dearly missed by all that loved him.
