Jeff Barnes Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Manchester Funeral Home on Dec. 15, 2025.
Jeffrey Scott Barnes, born April 5, 1971, in Manchester, Tennessee, passed away on December 11, 2025 surrounded by those who loved him. A lifelong resident of Tennessee, Jeffrey was the son of Jerry Barnes and the late Esther Sue Barnes.
Jeffrey worked for LSI as a Lead Manager and took great pride in caring for his homestead and nine acres of land. He was the kind of man who took care of everyone and everything around him. Genuine, down-to-earth, and generous to his core, Jeffrey would give you the shirt off his back without hesitation. He was preceded in death by his mother, Esther Sue Barnes.
Jeffrey is survived by his loving wife, Debbie Barnes; his father, Jerry Barnes; stepdaughter, Kelly Cunningham; brothers, Steven Barnes (Penny) and Gary Barnes; as well as several step-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and a large circle of extended family and friends who will miss him dearly. Manchester Funeral Home is honored to serve the Barnes family.
