This accident happened minutes in front of me. I drove by as the first police officer on scene started administering CPR. It was the first time I had ever seen something so tragic. He just layed there lifeless. It broke my heart. All my thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. May he be riding in the heavens. Rest in peace Jeffrey.

Thanks for the kind words. He was my best friend a loving father and husband. He was an amazing person to eveyone who knew him. Jeffrey barker they misspelled his name. Thanks again.

Thank you for pointing out the correct spelling of his name. No news sources are reporting this spelling, so if you find one that does, please feel free to leave it here in a comment, and I will add it to the post. We will also be on the lookout for other sources. For now I have corrected the spelling in the Accident Data Center information. We're very sorry for the loss of your friend.

Will there be an announced service for Jeffrey?

Sat dec 13 4pm to ? 27440 n 37th Ave phoenix, az 85038 all are welcome and they will be raffling stuff off a d accepting donations for the family

So weird who does raffle s and asks for donation s at a funeral? Just put that donation s page back up so people can donate?

I heard that Jeff's current wife is preventing his family is coming and his parents can't come and Jeff's kids mothers can't come to the funeral and that's just mean! To Erin his current wife I think u need to calm down a little bit and try to put feelings aside for one day so that everyone can please say one last goodbye to Jeff! To be honest their was only one person that said something mean about Jeff not everyone. So I beg u to please consider letting everyone say there last goodbye to Jeff.

I couldn't agree more about everyone being allowed to say goodbye especially his biological children. His wife right now has no right to keep everyone away that loved him. It's hateful hurtful and unbelievably selfish. If your Erin the "REAL WIFES" friend then tell her she's wrong... swallow your pride and put jeff 1st, He would want everyone not just her family to say goodbye. And that's the honest to god truth and she knows it.

So many people crawling out from under rocks after turning there backs on Jeff, breaking his heart, hurting him to his core and all of a sudden they feel entitled to be apart of saying goodbye. Absolutely disgusting. He didn't want you on his life, he doesn't need you in his death.

We all know this is you Erin ##2. Remember there are 2 sides to a story, you've only heard his. He pushed people away people who loved him not the other way around. His 4 kids never hurt him to the core they loved him sooo much. He walked away from them. Not the other way around. So your comment is a lie, he walked away on his own, nobody signed away his parental rights to his oldest kids. He did that on his own. That being said "he" hurt "them" to there core. But you know that cause you allowed it. No mother in her right mind and loving heart would keep kids from saying goodbye to there dad for the last time. "But you did" his blood runs thru them. YOUR COLD HEARTED. He chose to walk away. He turned his back on friends and family so that hurt your talking about was self inflicted. Be honest if your gonna call people out. It's only fare. It's disgusting to llie.

Erin #2 could care less about his kids being hurt. She don't even take care of her own kids. She's a terible mother so why do you think she cared about Jeffs kids.

Well said!!!!

Yes this is definitely erin moran barker. You have only been in his life 3 out of his 32years. You need to realize there were alo t more people in his life he cared for more than you. So quit thinking u were the girl he cared about. Tell me this. You keep getting all these donations. But no one has seen any of that money be used for jeff. You could not pay for mass viewing or a funeral home so people could say goodbye. And the cheapest thing you could of done is have him dressed in a suit for when his family had 30 mins to see him before he was cremated, but no you left him in his hospital gown. So was that carnival you had or I mean celebration of life for jeff was a fund raiser for you and your two boys. I really do not see what jeff saw in you. Atleast spend all this free money on another tattoo on your other arm so u can stand normal in every pic instead of always turning inward and having your left arm straight so everyone sees your trendy tat. Least you could of done was use some money for a mass. You just had him creamated like he was nothing. Erin moran is a piece of trash. You look like a old haggard witch. Karma will get you

Wow that is disgusting to hear he was viewed in a hospital gown! Yeah mom of the year Erin moron will make sure she has a great Christmas with money raised for the barker family but that don't mean her boys will benefit cuz she a crap mother who let every one else take care of them kids but not her. She a bad widow and a bad mom and karma will show her that.

Another person making the passing of Jeff about what they wanted. Obviously, you did not know who Jeff was. The LAST thing he would have wanted was to be dressed in a suit OR to have a Mass service.

Not a suit but for god sake put clothes on him! Not leave him in a damn hospital gown. Wake up. You were wrong Erin moran and your selfish hateful heart and soul have been proven themselves in your actions. You should be ashamed of yourself and your real friends should 2nd that you were WRONG

I am erin's son and i will have you know she wasnt a mess about it she is sad about it but she is fine

Sad for you kid.

I feel sorry you have such a bad mother. Hopefully you do not follow in your mothers foot steps. Just seeing how she treated her husband. I could only imagine how she would treat you as her son. Atleast you will have a good xmas with all the money she received. God be with you. You will need all the prayers with a mother like that

Erins son, Im so sorry you have had to see all this but its frustration cause your mom took something very important away from his biological children. not being able to say goodbye to there dad is something that they will have to live with for the rest of there lives. it was so cold hearted and hateful.... I still dont understand why she did what she did. and im even more sorry that she hasnt been a real good loving mother to you like a mother should be. i hope someone else has filled in in her place. Erin moran wake up girl your missing out on your kids. stop pretending to be a loving caring mother when you dont mother them at all. get your life together and your priorties straight life isnt a party especially if you have kids. wake up. sorry erin moran son that your mother doesnt know how to be a mom, its sad. i hope she gives you some of the money she got for jeffs passing, if she hasnt already spend it on booze shoes and parties. thanks for being honest with us about her "REAL" feelings she seems to be good at lying to EVERYONE.

Accepting donations for what family? His current wife? She just needs to get a job instead of getting money donated for her to go shopping.

The last ride for Jeff and his celebration of life were two events that Jeff would have been so honored to have in his name. The day was spent with his true friends and family; celebrating the amazing man he was. I'm not sure how much money was raised for Erin and her boys, but I know everyone was being generous. We all truly love Jeff & Erin and we all know that the one thing he would want is for her to be taken care of.
Your negative comments about them are disgusting and will not ruin his legacy or the positive impact he had on his friends and family.

The good man you love erin #2 was a good man cause his parents raised him to be a good man. You had no right to keep his flesh and blood away from saying goodbye to him. No matter what you say you were wrong.

The memorial Saturday is a celebration of life for Jeff and is not a traditional funeral. People who would like to pay their respects, in a respectful manner are welcome to attend. It will be a day to remember Jeff, free of hate and negative attitudes. If you are unable to control yourself and honor Jeff in this manner, please do not come.

All the people at that service for Erin #2 to just collect money obviously doesn't know the whole story! And how she is keeping Jeff from everyone saying goodbye to him and is keeping Jeff's own parents from saying bye to him. She is a rotten lady! And will go to hell for this

This is so so sad. For him to be taken the way he was - a heartbreak. Then for his wife to be so selfish & small to keep family or anyone from sharing their last memories of Jeff. Death is never easy but his wife is leaving a dark cloud of hate on the hearts of those who loved him and making it very difficult. She doesn't have that much power to say who can come & who isn't allowed. I feel sorry for this woman who must have so much hate in her heart that she cannot forgive & forget even when God has given her the ultimate test.....she has failed. Her poison heart is leaving an unforgivable trail. I'm so sad.

JEFF'S club Brothers, I don't think you have spoken to his "current wife" cause you can say everyone is invited but that's not what her text messages say. Messages That came from her phone to jeffs dad, mom and kids. She's hateful and everyone in his family have the messages directly from her to prove it. She's hateful & heartless & if she truly loved him she would allow everyone to attend. Not just her family

Sorry I didn't know about the Raffle on the 13th. I was there that night and my heart broke. I don't know the man, but felt such sadness. Don't know what he looks like, but stood there, cried and quietly, said prayers for him. Everyone wanted to do some thing. I wanted to sit with him. All the activity going on, and the victim all alone. He's not alone now, riding the clouds with others who perished that night, there were 3.

Thank you to ALL of the kind and caring people that have left comments about my son. My heart is broken as well as my family. I will forever love Jeff and remember the good times with him as he grew up. I do not understand how or why that his wife does not want his family to come to the funeral. This is not about one persons wishes, it is about remembering Jeff. I do not think that he would want this. Jeff was a very good and kind person. Again, thank you for your support in this time of sorrow. He left behind four wonderful kids that will miss him very much. To Little Poot from Big Poot, Rest In Peace. With ALL my Love, Dad

Erin his current.... Words cant express how Heartless and hateful you are for not allowing Jeffs family to attend his funeral. Explain to all of us why our presence isnt allowed and why you think its ok to keep us from saying our last goodbye. I have another question for the real friends of Erin jeffs current wife, Do you really think thats ok in anyway. You guys post what a good dad jeff was and what a great man, those being your words from previous comments right???? Who do you think raised him to be that great man "HIS FAMILY" WHAT MADE HIM A GOOD DAD HIS 4AMAZING BEAUTIFUL KIDS, THE ONES HE HELP MAKE WITH HIS OWN FLESH AND BLOOD! WAKE UP ERIN HIS CURRENT WIFE THIS ISNT ABOUT YOU, ITS ABOUT JEFF.... YOUR SO SO SO WRONG MEAN HATEFUL AND SELFISH, WHAT KIND OF MOTHER WOULD KEEP KIDS AWAY FROM SAYING THE FINAL GOODBYE TO THERE DAD? CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THAT.....

I saw him laying in the road on my way home. I couldn't sleep just feeling so awful.It kept me up all night....I wish comfort to his family and all his loved ones. RIP.

Thanks for the condolences he was my best friend and an amazing person. A true brother and will be missed by everyone who knew him. Rip Jeff barker.

Jeff was like a brother to me he will me truly missed my his mom his sister and all of his cousins i can not believe he is gone i never go to ask him if he wanted to be one of my groomsmen for me and his sister wedding. Rip jeff barker

This is so tragic... he leaves behind 4 amazing children who have missed dearly the last couple years and are heartbroken tonight. It's terrible.

Erin I'm sorry you have been such a strong mom to the boys and now you must be stronger .. Thinking about you

Jeff will b greatly missed I've known him since middle school and I know his kids and they will be heart broken forever!

I am sad to say that myself and my daughter and her dad were sitting at the intersection and saw this happen. We called 911. I was trying to get someone to help me turn him over and start chest compressions but I couldn't get anyone to help me and I guess it's because they knew he was already gone. I got conflicting information that he was still breathing/ not breathing. I know now it wouldn't have helped anyway. My heart is broken for him and his family. I have been praying for you all. It was worst thing I have ever witnessed and I am still very rattled and sad about it. I also feel heart broken for the young girl that was driving the van. It was a terrible accident and I'm so sorry. Love to all who knew him.

Thank you so much for trying to help him...he was an amazing friend/husband/father and we miss him very much. I know it's not the young girls fault and we all wish the outcome was different. But thank you for taking the time to try & help even though he was a stranger to you...he means a lot to soooo many!

My heart broken over the loss of Jeff Barker, My thoughts & prayers are with his family in this time of sadness. May God watch over his beautiful children and wife during this difficult time and may he help heal some of there pain. I'm so sorry Erin Barker. If there's anything I can do to help you and the kids please let me know.
RIP Jeff Barker!

Thank you crystal Zach is besides himself... its so hard to tell your kids that their dad is gone.

I'm so sorry hun. I can't imagine having to have that conversation. Your such a good mom just hold him tight. hopefully in time the hurt will go away. Please let me know if I can help in anyway.

I known Jeff for 20 years he put people and family first he is a true creation of god and now he can hang out again with his cousin and god both up in heaven, love you brother RIP.

Thank you to everyone for all their kind words, thoughts and prayers. Thank you to the people who tried to help at the scene. Nice to know there are still caring people out there who tried to help my stepson Jeff. Jeff's father, Alan and I along with his stepbrothers, Terry and Keith and stepsister Valerie are absolutely heart broken over this very unfortunate tragedy. Last night we had the most awful task of telling Jeff's 4 children of their fathers passing. One of the hardest things we have ever had to do. May God bless you Jeff. Go be with your cousin Paul , and may you now rest in peace. We love you and will forever miss you.

Thank you Sue and Alan for helping us to tell the kids. It means a lot

Erin,
Let me know if we can help. Todd 858-945-0137

Thank you Todd.. Will keep in touch . his kids are a mess

Erin "First wife" check ur Facebook inbox when u have time

I am so sorry for your loss of Jeffrey. I never knew him well but I know you are all hurting and that he will be missed. Such sad news. Peace be with you all.

I am so sorry this happened, I live right around the corner from there. There was another motorcycle accident Thanksgiving evening that happened right there, everything was shut down from it, I went searching for information about it and can only find this. Does anybody know about the other one that happened Thursday evening? Both these accidents happened with motorcycles and suv's and I believe both were fatal for the motorcycle drivers. So horrible, I'm sorry for this families loss. <3

Jeff was my nephew and I've just this morning learned of this tragic accident. May God bless and give peace and comfort to his wife and his sweet children! I saw the children in June when I travelled from Washington to visit my parents. My brother, Alan, Jeff's dad, is heartbroken. Jeff was too young and his dear children will forever miss him!
