Dexter E. Barr was born to the late Doris Malloy Barr and Eugene Barr on June 18, 1957 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He transitioned from this life on September 4, 2025 after an extended illness. Dexter grew up in Winston-Salem, received his early education in the local public schools and graduated from North Forsyth High School in 1975.

Dexter was a fun-loving guy who enjoyed sitting on the front porch and talking with friends and family. He had an outgoing personality and a great sense of humor. The holiday season was his favorite time of the year because he thoroughly enjoyed eating the homemade dinners and desserts his family prepared.

Dexter will truly be missed by those who knew and loved him.
