Tucson Ray Barton son of Cameron Barton of Essex, Missouri and Tia Rogers of Essex, Missouri was born on December 30, 2023 in Poplar Bluff, Missouri and departed this life on March 14, 2024 in Essex, Missouri .
The best part of his mother, father, and sisters day was seeing his infectious smile that could light up the whole world. Tucson was the highlight of his sisters day, as soon as she woke up in the morning, and came home in the afternoon, she loved being with Tucson. He loved being talked to by his mommy and daddy, and he would save his biggest smiles for them, he was their world. God gave him the most beautiful and perfect hair, he enjoyed being held tight and getting “snuggles” from his sissy. His strength really showed out, when trying to hold his head up, when he was just weeks old. Tucson’s memory will live in our hearts and minds forever.
