Condolences to Barnes family!

Wow... John was such a light! He always brought laughter that could change the atmosphere of any room. There was never a bad moment with him around. I will continue to cherish the fondest of memories with him during our time together at Tuskegee University. My sincere prayers and condolences are with the family.

Even though I am heartbroken, I am SO blessed to consider John a friend. We were in the choir together at Tuskegee (KA-O) and in addition to his bubbly personality, I remembe rhis singing the solo for "Lilly in the Valley"! He FELT that song and he was the perfect person to sing it! He would often hanging out in our on campus apartment. It was always a good time when John came by. I can here him laughing in my head.

I pray for his entire family near and far. He was loved by so many and I will truly miss him.

Barns and Lewis family please except our deepest sympathy at this time of sorrow.please know that our prayers are with you. Clemmie L Brundidge Jr. Family--Kuwait.

My sincere condolences to you and your family. ♥️ Marquatta Jackson

I helped coach John in little league baseball. He was a very pleasant young man, and a gifted athlete. He always had a very even temper. I'll always remember those days and fond memories of John Barnes! Eric

To the Barnes family, I know your hearts are heavy now but John Jr. is in a better place. I will continue to pray with and for your family. Your thoughts are with me always. Love you all ❤️❤️💕💕. Nadine and Jeffrey Scott.

My family hearts hurt to hear the sad news that our boomer has gone on home to be with the lord. My daughters corayell,Rashaudalyn, and Zymezia Rivers called him brother boomer who they love so dearly. When he would see them he used to say can I get a Amen, I said can I get a Amen sisters and my daughters still say that to each other when they are meeting with one another with hugs and kisses. As I would aways say to him when me and the girls would see him with that big smiling on his face aways put a smile on my girls faces. Boomer is not on earth but he will always remained in our hearts. Rest in peace Boomer. Love Deloria J.wilson-Ellis

You will be missed friend/classmate ❤️

It is with great sadness and a heavy heart, I am here reflecting on the life and times of John Roland Barns III, I will cherish all of the memories we've shared now and forever! May you rest in peace and rejoice in being reunited with your beloved Mother Felicia who you often spoke so lovingly about.

I will miss the laughts, the jokes, playing spades, road trips, fishing, family dinners, holidays, the arguements, the celebration of each others up and down & highs and lows.

We've been through it ALL! I love you like a Brother, I will miss you like a parent who lost a child. Our road has never been easy but it was always filled with love. Your departure is hitting me hard right now and I don't even know how I am typing this post.

I was elated and super proud of you when you re-enrolled in school to obtain your degree, and even more proud when you became a beloved member of our great Fraternity and Chapter Brother🤙🏾🤙🏾 and most PROUD of the day you recieved your Degree.

BRO.....you fought the good fight with all your might and I admire your tenacity for doing so. It's said only the GOOD DIE YOUNG, and my friend, heaven just gained a good one. 😇

It is said , "You can pick your friends but not your family", somehow you picked me and Jason Crews and absolutely became FAMILY! ♥️ We will forever, carry your memory as we talk, laugh and cry about all of our many trials and tribulations. As will your the Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha-Omicron Omicron Chapter known as Double O🤙🏾🤙🏾

The only thing making me laugh at this moment is our best memory of "THE NIGHT", I gave the Brothers the same speech, I did when my brother began seeking membership into Double O. The look was priceless. Like I said, "If you get the vote and thumbs up on your own merit, I will support your jouney to the light!" The look on the Brothers faces was priceless! 😂

FAREWELL DEAR BROTHER....Farewell 🤙🏾🤙🏾 PLEASE KNOW YOU WERE LOVED BEYOND MEASURE AND YOUR DC FAMILY WILL FOREVER MISS YOU!

This really hurt such a nice sweet spirit gone to soon!! Tad c/o 2006
