Barney was a native and resident of Baltimore, Maryland, and was employed by Sysco Foods for 17 years. He was born on August 4, 1958 to Karl Sr. and Julie Ward Lowe. Barney had a passion for all things outdoors, and especially enjoyed crabbing, cutting grass, watching NASCAR, and listening to country music while Bar-B-Queuing and smoking his Marlboro Reds. One of his favorite things to do was give the middle finger. He loved the crappy Redskins, the New Orleans Saints, and the Baltimore Ravens and Orioles, and enjoyed going to the games.
