Drew Barkley

Drew Barkley, 41, of Paducah, passed away Saturday, Jan. 20, 2024, at Baptist Health Paducah.

Drew was born in Paducah on June 26, 1982, to Terry and Anita Barkley. He was self-employed and a member of Paducah Seventh-Day Adventist Church, where he loved to sing in church and would often sing for special music. Drew loved the Lord and was an avid reader of the Bible. He was passionate about watching UK Basketball, WWE Wrestling and AEW Wrestling and was known for his commentary on Facebook about the incoming snow. While he took great care and pride in his Pomeranians (Snuggles, Angel and Pixie), his nephews were who he loved dearly, and he enjoyed spending time with them and his family. Drew will be remembered for how he lit up each room with his kind spirit and loving heart and how that was displayed in how he was a caretaker for his mom. He never met a stranger, loved to talk, and cared and loved others well.

Drew is survived by his parents, Terry and Anita Barkley; his sister, Rachel Brockman (Robby) of Paducah; his two nephews, Joshua Brockman and Matthew Brockman; and several cousins, aunts and uncles.

Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 25, at Milner & Orr Funeral Home of Paducah with Charles Lawson and Mike Burks officiating. Burial will follow at Mt. Kenton Cemetery.

Visitation will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 24, at Milner & Orr Funeral Home of Paducah. Visitation will also be held from noon-2 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 25, at the funeral home.
