Mr. Barefield was a U.S. Army Veteran and was member of the Baptist faith. He worked many years in the electrical utilities business and in construction.

After his recovery, he was a dump truck owner and operator. In his latter years he owned waste pickup and disposal company.

He is preceded in death by his parents; wife Carolyn Evans Barefield; son Zach Barefield; and sister Mamie Tumlison.
