David M. Barick

David M. Barick, age 74 years, of Dyer, IN, went home to his Lord and Savior on Thursday, June 12, 2025.  Beloved husband of the late Joyce M. Barick, nee Yos.  Loving father of Steven (Jaime) Barick, Kevin (Kristen) Barick, and Randall (Elizabeth) Barick; step-father of Eric (April) Wasyliw. Cherished grandfather of Blake, Connor, Gwyneth, Zofia, Carson, Connor, Jake, Lily, Violet and Leona.  Dear brother of Cynthia (Art) Cigoy, Peter (Diane) Barick, and the late Barbara Humphrey.  Devoted uncle of several nieces and nephews.  Preceded in death by his parents Peter and Dorothy Barick.  David was loved by his family and many friends, and will be dearly missed.

David was known for his strong work ethic, sharp mind, and unwavering dedication to his family. He took great pride in providing for those he loved, and he found genuine joy in a job well done. A self-made man, he worked tirelessly alongside his sons and believed in the value of hard work and the satisfaction of earning every dollar with purpose.

He had a lifelong passion for cars and boats—anything with a motor and the promise of adventure. He had a soft spot and deep love for his many feline pets over the years. He also had an eye for the finer things in life and enjoyed the rewards that came from his many years of effort and perseverance.

Above all, David was a man who loved his family deeply. His greatest accomplishments were not just the things he owned or achieved, but the people he supported, encouraged, and stood by. His legacy will live on in the lives of those he touched, and he will be remembered for his generosity, strength, and the pride he took in being a provider.
