James David Barron

David was our Captain, our leader, and our friend on the Towers Football Team. He was always cool headed, never even a flash of anger. If you were his opponent, he would hit you as hard as he could, knock you down, help you up, and ask if you´re okay. That the kind of guy David was. May your soul rest peacefully, my dear old friend.

To Greg, Cindy and family: our hearts are with you all today. David was a gentle soul, loved by so many. We have so many wonderful memories with your family. Sending love and prayers, but most of all, everlasting peace and comfort, as you navigate through this difficult time.

I enjoyed having David as a teammate on several Midway and Towers teams. When I think of those days, my first thought is of the close bond David had with Greg, always his best friend and biggest supporter. Together they generated a lot of comraderie and enthusiasm which greatly influenced the rest of us. My condolences to Greg and the rest of the Barron family. David´s memory is a blessing to us all.

David was a dear friend in high school, a tough lineman at Towers, and Midway he made everyone around him better. Rest in peace "65."

Fly high my Tennessee Vol Always #94 in my heart!

I was fortunate to have played football at Towers along side David during his senior season. And a wonderful season it was! He treated this young sophomore with the respect afforded to upperclassmen. For that I am forever grateful. My condolences to the Barron family, may you find comfort in remembering the good times and memories with David.

David and I enjoyed many great victories as TITANS and Graduated together in 1974!! This tragic loss leaves a hole in the hearts of so many of us!! Go rest now my brother you are missed but will be forever remembered as one of our Best and Brightest Stars!! Love ya´ man

I knew David at Tennessee. We were Fraternity brothers in 1985 until Coach Battle pressured he and Hays Gilliam to quit the fraternity. He was a great guy and a good friend back then. Great Football player too. He anchored Tennessee´ defensive line in the `77 and `78. This is tragic.
