Tony Kevin Barnett, 68, of College Grove, TN, passed away on July 27, 2023. He was born on November 7, 1954, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to the late Barney and Mary Barnett.
Tony had a fulfilling career, working as a AC/Heating Technician, also as a Meter Reader for Southern California Edison, and as a Forklift Operator at Ryder/GM Motors. He was dedicated and hardworking, always ensuring that his responsibilities were carried out with precision.
In his personal life, Tony was surrounded by a loving family. He is survived by his beloved wife, Darlene Barnett.
