Master Trooper Kyle P. Barber
North Carolina Highway Patrol Master Trooper Kyle P. Barber died in the line of duty on Tuesday, May 19, 2009. Trooper Barber succumbed to complications of injuries sustained two years earlier when he was struck by a vehicle. Trooper Barber was assisting another trooper who had stopped an ATV on a rural road in Wilkes County. During the stop the ATV rolled and pinned Trooper Barber against his patrol car, causing him to suffer major injuries.
Trooper Barber, 46, joined the North Carolina Highway Patrol in 1985. His first duty station was in Siler City and he was assigned to the Troop F, District II office in Wilkesboro in 1995. Trooper Barber was a 24-year veteran of the North Carolina Highway Patrol and the 61st trooper to die in the line of duty since the patrol was founded in 1929.
Trooper Barber is survived by his wife, Lynn, two daughters and a son.
Please join the men and women of the American Association of State Troopers in keeping the family of Trooper Barber in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
