He was born on July 30, 1947, in Hobbs, NM, to William “Carey” and Veda (Morris) Blevins.

Bari was known for his humor and ability to make friends with anyone he met. He worked as a Registered Nurse in Canyon, Tulia, and Amarillo, Texas. He was also a skilled car salesman for many years.

Bari married the love of his life, Cindy, on June 25, 1977, and together they shared 48 years of marriage and built a family filled with love. He ensured his wife was able to see the Pacific Ocean while travel nursing. They brought their beloved dog, Dozer, along for travel nursing stints in California, Colorado, and El Paso, TX.

Bari enjoyed spending summers with his kids and family at Green Belt Lake in Clarendon, TX. Weekend getaways to New Mexico were his favorite.
