ANTHEM (said by the Officiant)
I am Resurrection and I am Life, says the Lord.
Whoever has faith in me shall have life,
even though he die.
And everyone who has life,
and has committed himself to me in faith,
shall not die for ever.
As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives
and that at the last he will stand upon the earth.
After my awaking, he will raise me up;
and in my body I shall see God.
I myself shall see, and my eyes behold him
who is my friend and not a stranger.
For none of us has life in himself,
and none becomes his own master when he dies.
2For if we have life, we are alive in the Lord,
and if we die, we die in the Lord.
So, then, whether we live or die,
we are the Lord's possession.

3– THE LITURGY OF THE WORD –
Please be seated
A READING FROM THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES Lamentations 3:22-26, 31-33
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul,
‘therefore I will hope in him.’
The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul that seeks him.
It is good that one should wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.
For the Lord will not
reject for ever.
Although he causes grief, he will have compassion
according to the abundance of his steadfast love;
for he does not willingly afflict
or grieve anyone.
Lector The word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.
PSALM 139:1-11 Domine, probasti
1 LORD, you have searched me out and known
me; *
you know my sitting down and my rising up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
42 You trace my journeys and my resting-places *
and are acquainted with all my ways.
3 Indeed, there is not a word on my lips, *
but you, O LORD, know it altogether.
4 You press upon me behind and before *
and lay your hand upon me.
5 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; *
it is so high that I cannot attain to it.
6 Where can I go then from your Spirit? *
where can I flee from your presence?
7 If I climb up to heaven, you are there; *
if I make the grave my bed, you are there also.
8 If I take the wings of the morning *
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
9 Even there your hand will lead me *
and your right hand hold me fast.
10 If I say, "Surely the darkness will cover me, *
and the light around me turn to night,"
11 Darkness is not dark to you;
the night is as bright as the day; *
darkness and light to you are both alike.
A READING FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT Revelation 21:2-7
And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from
God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from
the throne saying, ‘See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with
them; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe
every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain
5will be no more, for the first things have passed away.’ And the one who was
seated on the throne said, ‘See, I am making all things new.’ Also he said, ‘Write
this, for these words are trustworthy and true.’ Then he said to me, ‘It is done! I
am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will
give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life. Those who conquer will
inherit these things, and I will be their God and they will be my children.
Lector The word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.
PSALM 27 Dominus illuminatio
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation;
whom then shall I fear? *
the LORD is the strength of my life;
of whom then shall I be afraid?
2 When evildoers came upon me to eat up my flesh, *
it was they, my foes and my adversaries, who
stumbled and fell.
3 Though an army should encamp against me, *
yet my heart shall not be afraid;
4 And though war should rise up against me, *
yet will I put my trust in him.
5 One thing have I asked of the LORD;
one thing I seek; *
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days
of my life;
6 To behold the fair beauty of the LORD *
and to seek him in his temple.
67 For in the day of trouble he shall keep me safe
in his shelter; *
he shall hide me in the secrecy of his dwelling
and set me high upon a rock.
8 Even now he lifts up my head *
above my enemies round about me.
9 Therefore I will offer in his dwelling an oblation
with sounds of great gladness; *
I will sing and make music to the LORD.
10 Hearken to my voice, O LORD, when I call; *
have mercy on me and answer me.
11 You speak in my heart and say, "Seek my face." *
Your face, LORD, will I seek.
12 Hide not your face from me, *
nor turn away your servant in displeasure.
13 You have been my helper;
cast me not away; *
do not forsake me, O God of my salvation.
14 Though my father and my mother forsake me, *
the LORD will sustain me.
15 Show me your way, O LORD; *
lead me on a level path, because of my enemies.
16 Deliver me not into the hand of my adversaries, *
for false witnesses have risen up against me,
and also those who speak malice.
17 What if I had not believed
that I should see the goodness of the LORD *
in the land of the living!
718 O tarry and await the LORD'S pleasure;
be strong, and he shall comfort your heart; *
wait patiently for the LORD.

13Jeremy Richard Barrett
19 January 1963 – 10 July 2021
Jeremy was born on 19Jan1963 in Bindura, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Africa to
Verna and Patrick Barrett. He attended Blakiston Primary and Alan Wilson high
school, where he took up competitive rowing. Jeremy coxed for Hunyani
Rowing Club and was awarded his National Rhodesian Junior Colours in 1978.
Jeremy continued rowing after he left school and joined Hunyani Rowing Club
as a senior member. He achieved many wins as a Single sculler, Pairs, Coxed and
Coxless Fours and Eights over the years, also breaking a number of records. He
studied Civil Engineering in Salisbury, Rhodesia and joined the Ministry of
Water Development, becoming involved in the construction of dams within the
country.
Changing course, he decided to study Chemical Engineering and earned a
degree in 1988 from Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg, South
Africa. Jeremy then began his career working in the ammonium nitrate and
nitric acid industry, which remained the primary focus of his professional
career.
While working with ammonium nitrate in South Africa Jeremy was
instrumental in the creation of a revolutionary improvement in spray head
prilling technology. Jeremy and an engineering group, similar in age and
experience, oversaw the design, installation and commissioning of the
promising new technology, and they have remained close friends ever since.
14As a result of the project’s success, Jeremy was recognized by his employer, ICI
Australia (later Orica) and relocated to Gladstone, Queensland Australia in 1992
to implement a similar prilling system at the Yarwun site. After the project was
completed, Jeremy was promoted to the position of technical manager,
responsible for continued improvement of ammonium nitrate prilling. During
this period, he successfully led the effort to significantly increase production
capability.
In 2003 he was appointed as global technical manager for Orica and moved to
Newcastle, Australia. During this time, Jeremy identified, arranged purchase for
and relocated an existing nitric acid facility in Denmark, which was
subsequently moved to and installed in Yarwun, Australia. Additionally, Jeremy
was called on to manage an ammonium nitrate facility in the Philippines, and
consult on a large-scale modernization of a nitric acid plant in Geneva,
Utah. These projects, along with others Jeremy oversaw and / or implemented,
led to the most financially successful period for Orica on record.
During his time in Australia Jeremy became quite involved in sailing, competing
successfully in numerous regattas and ocean races off the coast of Queensland
with his boats Lightning and Slingshot. He also become involved in cycling
during this time, having cycled back and forth to work and eventually acquired a
proper road bike for competition.
In 2011 Jeremy was approached by the ownership group of Apache Nitrogen,
located in Benson, Arizona and offered the position of General Manager and
President. During his 10 years as manager Jeremy, and a team of dedicated
employees, have increased overall ammonium nitrate production, worked to
remove government-imposed legacy restrictions, and continue modernization
of the facility.
15Jeremy’s love of cycling was furthered by the active Tucson cycling community,
where he was a regular fixture at the Saturday morning Shoot-out group ride
and Sunday rides up Mt. Lemmon. Jeremy won several age group AZ State
Championships for criterium races and hill climbs.
Jeremy had lately started racing his Pearson 39 sailing yacht Passion in San
Diego, CA, racing for Silver Gate Yacht Club.
Jeremy’s tragic passing has created a huge void in the lives of his family and
many friends across the many facets of his life. His kindness, warmth and
generosity made him so deeply loved and respected. Jeremy will be forever
remembered by the many people whose lives he has influenced and will
continue to inspire us all to live our lives to the fullest with kindness and
enthusiasm.
