It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Barry Allen, also known as Bobby Oliver, who tragically lost his life on March 22, 2025, due to injuries sustained in a car accident. Barry, a beloved father, friend, and community member, will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Born and raised in Lorain, Ohio, Barry was known for his kind heart, unwavering sense of justice, and infectious sense of humor. While many came to recognize him as the “Twisted Tea Warrior” after a viral video in 2020, those closest to him knew him as a devoted family man who stood up for what was right in everyday life. His boldness in standing against hate made him a symbol of resilience and integrity, a legacy that will continue to inspire many.
Barry’s greatest joy in life was his family. As a dedicated father, he worked tirelessly to provide for his loved ones and to ensure a bright future for his children. His loyalty and generosity extended to his friends and community, always willing to lend a helping hand.
His passing has left an irreplaceable void, and his memory will live on through the countless lives he touched. He is survived by his family, close friends, and all those who held him dear.
A GoFundMe campaign has been organized by Ruth Wisniewski to assist with funeral expenses and provide support to Barry’s family during this difficult time. Contributions from those who wish to honor his legacy and help his loved ones are deeply appreciated.
Barry Allen will be remembered not only for his courage and strength but also for his compassion and kindness. May his spirit live on in the hearts of those he inspired.
Rest in peace, Barry. You will never be forgotten.
