Gary Barnes

Gary was a true friend to all and was willing to always reach out and help where needed. Col Robbins introduced me to Gary prior to signing with Seattle Seahawk´s and Gary helped me greatly with my contract. Later in years we enjoyed watching his son play football. We always tried to stay in touch through the years but most of all , when we did see each other , there was always a smile on Gary´s face that I will always remember . To the family, our prayers and thoughts are with you .

I met Judge Barnes several years ago at some judge classes and could not believe that this man played ball with some greats that I idolized. He was a great person. Retired Judge Kitchens, Clinton ,SC.

I grew up with Gary, close friends thru high-school. He was a easy-going person. We stayed in touch thru college. He blossomed in college and became a great college and pro football player. He came out of a mill town and left and made his mark on football and all people he met. He will be on heavens first team .

I have a feeling Mickey was so glad to see you and welcome you. Best of buddies most if their lives.
To Greg and Kelly, thinking and praying for you.

I just learned of Gary´s death from my cousin Harold Olson. I have known Gary since he was a freshman at Clemson. I got to know him well after he became Clemson City Judge. He was a fine, kind man who will be missed by all who knew him.
