Chris was born June 21, 2001 in Uniontown, Pennsylvania. Chris was a hard worker, resilient figure in the face of adversity, and a person who provided exemplary effort.  He had an unassuming and disarming smile that could put anyone at ease; everyone was Chris's friend. His sense of humor was second to none, and he was as kind as he was funny. Chris represented the good that we all need in our everyday lives.  

Chris was a lover of food, fast cars, skateboards, music, movies, TikToks, driving heavy machinery, family, friends, and his faith. To know Chris, was to love him. Kindness and generosity were two character traits that highlighted his personality.  Chris was a wonderful younger brother to his two older brothers and a wonderful older brother to his two younger sisters. Chris touched the lives of so many in such a short period of time. 

Chris is preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandfathers: Wilbert Henry DeWitt, Sr. of Uniontown, Pennsylvania and Terry Asa Barton of Orlando, Florida. 

Chris is survived by his parents, Brent C. Barton and Rebekah "Becky" (DeWitt) Barton.  He is survived by two older brothers and two younger sisters:  Brent "Clay" Barton II of Athens, GA and Caleb Andrew Barton of Winder, GA, Hannah Faith Barton of Winder, GA, and Sarah Grace Barton of Winder, GA.  His maternal and paternal grandmothers:  Christina Mae DeWitt of Winder, GA and Ruth Lorraine Barton of Orlando, FL. Uncles:  Wilbert DeWitt Jr. of Vanderbilt, PA, Danny DeWitt of Mt. Pleasant, PA, and Phillip Mark DeWitt of Grindstone, PA, Rory Barton of Orlando, FL, Trent Barton of Dallas, TX, and Mark Barton of NC.  Aunts: Sandy Henry of AZ, Esther Raley of AZ, Cindy Barton-Lewis of Rising Sun, MD, Terri Lynn Barton of Orlando, FL, and Erin Young of Orlando, FL.
