He had a passion for food, specifically a great steak and a Strawn’s pie.
He loved spending time with his family, road trips traveling to festivals with girlfriend Cyndi, visiting his brother Bill Barnes, who lives in Destin, FL and above all spending time with his grandchildren. teaching his oldest grandson, Jadon to drive and watching his only granddaughter compete in both soccer and swim, while also dedicating time to watching his youngest grandson Graham play baseball.
