John Barnes
January 25, 1950 — September 2, 2008
John Barnes has climbed his last mountain. He ended his life on September 2, 2008 at the age of 58. He was born in Massachusetts on January 25, 1950 to his parents, Josephine and Charles Barnes. He and his older brother Tom lived in New England and Iowa before they moved to Bountiful, Utah when John was 8 years old.
John spent the majority of his life outdoors. He attended Utah State University to study agriculture. He worked for many years as a farm manager at Black Island Farms in Syracuse, Utah. He loved hunting and hiking and turned his love for wildlife into a career as a wildlife biologist. He spent a number of winters volunteering daily with extreme dedication at a deer feeding station in Hyde Park Canyon.
John is survived by his wife Terry, his daughter Jessie, his brother Tom and his nieces Maria and Mary Ellen Escobar, Taylor Patterson, and Brenna Barnes. He was preceded in death by his parents.
An informal memorial gathering will be held on Wednesday, September 10th at Terry’s home, 9 West Center, Hyde Park, Utah from 5:00-8:00 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Stokes Nature Center, http://www.logannature.org , or the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, http://www.rmef.org .
