Art was one of the first people I ever met at PCBC. And about the greatest teacher I ever had, too. Art didn't care what you looked or smelled like, how beautiful you were or who you were, he was happy to see you and talk to you and help you. He will be very missed. Prayers go out to his family in this time of loss for us on earth, yet Heaven's gain!

We were truly blessed to know Art Barnes. He had a servant's heart and a smile that would warm up a room. He has left behind a family that continues to carry his mission of serving others. Our love to all of you.

Art always talked of Heroes, but in truth he was the real HERO .

Art was a perfect example of what God calls us to be--- he loved the Lord, his family passionately, and always had a smile. He gave of himself in all facets of his life. He will be missed!!!

Anyone who knew Art Barnes was truly blessed. He was an exceptional man with a heart and soul that always put others first. Gracious with a warm sense of humor, he could light up a room by merely being in it. He will be very much missed. God bless his family.
