Monty Barrett
 

I'm sorry to report the passing of Monty Barrett, one of aviation's best.

It's been a difficult week for the whole family. I would not expect anyone to answer the phone at Barrett Precision Engines until after the funeral (Wednesday, in Shawnee, OK), or perhaps a bit longer. Allen and Rhonda do expect to keep a normal Oshkosh schedule. A memorial service is anticipated after OSH, in Tulsa.

More later.

Sad indeed. A tremendous wealth of engine knowledge lost now to the sands of time. Everyone I ever talked to who had a Barrett engine built always had the best things to say about the build, performance and service. Monty built a great business and following.

He will be missed by many.

Very sorry to hear that but thanks for sharing the news. Monty was such a wealth of experience! He’ll be missed.

Our thoughts and prayer go out to Allan and Rhonda. Monty's legacy lives on.

Monty Barrett set the bar high for engines, he will be missed.
Rhonda and Allan have followed in his tradition...,great people, great company.

Yes, sad to hear this news. Our thoughts and prayers to Betty, Allen and Rhonda. Great folks and family.

I want to add my condolences. I never met Monty personally but the company and the engine say a lot about the person and so I know I missed out on knowing a great man.

Sad to know of his passing. Glad he lived. We were blessed to have him in our time.
Dan thanks for sharing.
I?m installing a Barrett engine rebuild on my Exp Supercub today.
He will be missed.....

I met Monty for the first time 25 years ago at an Airpark called Cookson Hills in NE Oklahoma where he lived. My father in law was from a near by town called Talequah Ok. Monty and my Father in Law had been part of Oklahoma Aviation for many years. Monty was a great guy and will be missed. My father in Law also passed a few years ago, wished he was still with us as well.

Arrangements are:

Wednesday, 11AM
Walker Funeral Service
