Lehi Raymond Barlow, known lovingly to family and friends as "Leebz," passed away on

August 5, 2026, at DRMC in St. George, Utah, after a courageous, lifetime battle with chronic illness.

He was 45 years old. Lehi was born on July 26, 1981, in Hildale, Utah, where he would spend his life surrounded by the community and landscape he loved. He grew up in a large, close-knit family, and those bonds shaped the man he became.

From an early age, Lehi was known for his genuine kindness, gentle nature and his ability to make everyone around him feel welcome and valued.

Lehi made his career in construction, where he earned a reputation for hard work, honesty, and dependability. He was the kind of person who showed up, did the job right, and treated everyone he encountered with respect. His co-workers and friends knew him as someone whose word meant something, and whose handshake was as good as any contract.

What truly defined Lehi, though, was the warmth he carried with him wherever he went. His sincerity and quiet nature created a circle of fiercely devoted friends. He took special delight in spending time with his many nieces and nephews, who adored their Uncle Leebz.

Whether it was joking around, lending a hand, or simply being present, Lehi had a gift for making the people in his life feel seen and loved.

Lehi is survived by his parents: Leslie James Barlow and Diana Jones Barlow; And bonus mothers: Martha Ream & Cynthia Wayman His sisters: Carole J. Hammon, Lillian Jessop, Connie Holm, Leilani Barlow, Millie Barlow, Malia Jessop, Charity Barlow, Faith Steed, Hope Barlow, Patience Cooke, Love Barlow, and Mercy Barlow; His brothers: Leslie James Barlow Jr., Brandon Levi Barlow, DonCarlos S. Barlow, and Justan Tru Barlow; along with numerous beloved nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

He was preceded in death by his brothers Martin Ephraim Barlow and Numan Jessop Barlow.

May he now find the peace and rest he so richly deserved, held gently in God's grace.
