Dennis Barnes Obituary

Published by Legacy on Dec. 10, 2025.
It is with deep sorrow that the family of Dennis Barnes announces his passing on December 7, 2025, at the age of 54. Dennis was born on April 7, 1971, in Newport News, Virginia, and spent his life as a loyal, loving, and deeply devoted father, grandfather, son, brother, and friend.

Dennis will be remembered for his kind heart, gentle spirit, and the fierce love he held for those he cared about. He had a quiet strength and a steady presence that brought comfort to many. His warmth, humor, and generosity touched everyone fortunate enough to know him.

He is survived by his daughters, Lorna Barnes (Charles Marshall II) and Kristina Nosay (Peter Nosay); his three beloved grandchildren; his mother Larraine Husted and step-father Thomas Husted; and his sisters Heather Watson (Danny Watson) and Karen Buchanan (David Buchanan). His family holds close the memories of his unwavering love and the joy he brought into their lives.

Dennis enjoyed cheering for the San Francisco 49ers, watching NASCAR, and collecting Monster Truck and NASCAR memorabilia. These passions brought him happiness and connection with the people he shared them with.

At this time, the family will not be holding a formal service. In honor of Dennis's life, they kindly request that memorial contributions be made to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline https://988lifeline.org/donate/.

Dennis will be deeply missed, and his memory will forever remain in the hearts of those who loved him.

Yesterday

My heartfelt condolences to the family. There are no words to express my sorrow. Dennis was my coworker at RK. I´m going to miss talking and joking around with him. He could always make me laugh even when I wasn´t in a laughing mood. He is missed by many.

With my deepest sympathy,
Sherry Long
