Dr. Robert Warren Barham, 69, passed away on March 2, 2023. He was a beloved father, brother, uncle, and friend, leaving behind extraordinary achievements and fond memories. Robert is survived by his children Andy, Laura, Kelly, Emily, and 7 grandchildren, as well as his sisters, Barbara and Juanita.

Robert was a second-generation plant breeder who made a significant impact in the seed and agriculture industries. He cherished every moment of his life and considered his family to be his brightest legacy. A natural performer, Robert was always quick with a joke, a song, a lesson, or advice. His favorite place was among the redwoods of California, where he found peace and serenity. His spirit will always be at home in those majestic trees.

A celebration of Robert's remarkable life will be held on April 20, 2023, at 11am, at MOHI Winery, 12775 Uvas Rd, Morgan Hill, CA 95037. We encourage everyone to wear something that brings them joy and a color that reminds them of Robert's vibrant spirit.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Save the Redwoods League, a charity that resonated deeply with Robert. https://secure.savetheredwoods.org/a/honor
