When you move to Whistler for a year with all your mates, you're going to meet some fun people along the way. Meeting Sam & Rich was a great addition to the team sheet! Our thoughts are with your family & friends Richard Barker. We'll miss you mate xxx #whistler2009

Richie Boy it was such a pleasure to be your "Marma" or your Aussie Mum. Your vivacious character brought joy and charism into our home and our family. You will be missed but never forgotten, our memories of you will bring us peace xoxox

Rest in peace, Rich. I hadn't seen you for a long time but I was so sad to hear this news. You were such a lovely person. Thoughts are with you, your family and those close at this very difficult time.

I first met Richard whilst at uni. He had a cheekiness and playful side that was obvious from the get go. Now mix that with a desire for adventure and an intense energy rarely matched and it's no wonder why i have so many fond memories of us together. Whether I think back at memories from uni or when we both lived in Oz, my 30th, or even last Christmas; Richard was always had time for me and my time spent around him was fun, a little nuts sometimes, but it brought a lot of joy to me. To Richard. Not a day hasn't gone by over the past week when I haven't thought about you man! I never thought for one moment that you wouldn't be around for the special events in our lives. If it wasn't for you Bark's I wouldn't have had the courage to move to the other side of the world and I wouldn't have reconnected with the girl of my dreams, who is now the love of my life! I wish I could have done more, I wish we'd talked more often as of late, but I now hope more than anything that you've found peace. You will be greatly missed Rich and my thoughts will always be to friends and of course Richard's family "This is not goodbye forever, but goodbye for now" Rest In Peace Richard.

Rich, I first met you on the Goldie after your travels, when you and fee decided to make a life for yourself here. You were a smart, energetic, and an exuberant human who had the ability to lift up anyone's spirits. The first time I met you was out at Mermaid Tavern where we danced up a storm and you convinced us to take a dip in the ocean at midnight. Without hesitation you threw this stranger over your shoulder and charge at the waves. You had grand plans for your life but you were bigger than this earth had to offer. I hope you find peace up there Rich.
