Dennis Barker

Dennis Barker (21 June 1929 – 2 March 2015) was a British journalist.[1]

Barker's grave in Highgate Cemetery.

Beginning as a journalist for the local and regional press, Barker spent much of his career at The Guardian, as a reporter and feature writer. He left the staff in 1991.[2] After his retirement, he concentrated on writing obituaries for the newspaper.

As many of his obituary pieces were prepared in advance of the subjects’ deaths, articles by Barker continue to be published in The Guardian, years after his death.
