Alexander Barnes Obituary

Mr. Alexander Quentin Barnes of Springfield, PA, born on May 14, 1988 in Oahu, Hawaii to Jennifer Atchison, passed away at age 29 on April 17, 2018, in Nassau, Bahamas. Alex was an enthusiastic tennis player from the age of 12, when he was first introduced to the sport. At Drexel University, where he majored in Sport Management, Alex made the varsity tennis team as a freshman walk-on; no small feat on an NCAA Division I team. Alex went on to become a tennis professional, working at Baha Mar in Nassau Bahamas under the auspices of Peter Burwash International at the time of his death. Alex was a sweet, generous man, with an engaging smile and a deep love of family. In 2012, he met his future wife, Colleen, and within weeks he declared to his mother that he had met “the one”. They married in June of 2016, surrounded by friends and family. Alex is survived by his beloved wife, Colleen, his mother, Jennifer, brother Jacob, Grandmother Susan, Uncle Jeffrey, and Aunt Jessica. In lieu of flowers, Alex’s family asks that donations be made to the USTA foundation (www.ustafoundation.com) All are invited to attend a Memorial Service celebrating Alexander’s life on Friday, May 18 at 11:00 AM in Arch Street Presbyterian Church, 1724 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103.
