* Floyd B. Barrus; Retired FBI Special Agent
Floyd B. Barrus, a retired special agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, died March 8 at Los Robles Regional Medical Center in Thousand Oaks. He was 83.
Barrus was born March 7, 1916, in Fairview, Wyo., where he was raised on a ranch.
Barrus worked as a page in the U. S. Senate and also served as a special agent for the FBI for more than 30 years. His work took him to Boston, San Francisco, Sacramento and elsewhere. He also served in the Marines.
Barrus retired in 1977 and traveled extensively with his wife, Lyn. He was a longtime member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
For many years, Barrus and his wife divided their time between homes in Thousand Oaks and Coronado. At the time of his death, the couple were staying in Thousand Oaks and planning their next vacation.
“He was a wonderful husband and we did everything together,” Lyn Barrus said. “He was a very caring and kind person.”
A memorial service was already held.
Pierce Brothers Griffin Mortuary in Thousand Oaks handled the arrangements.
