In Loving Memory of David Lynn Barnett

After returning home, he began a long and dedicated career with Dayton Tire, where he worked for more than 30 years. David was a hardworking man who believed in doing things the right way and took great pride in providing for and spending time with his family.
Outside of work, David loved the outdoors. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, farming, gardening, and spending time with his cows.

Those moments created memories that will be cherished for generations.

David will be remembered for his hardworking spirit, his love of the outdoors, his green thumb, his love for his animals, and most of all, his devotion to his family. He was a man who taught those around him the value of hard work and the importance of making memories together.
His family will forever cherish the countless days spent fishing, hunting, farming, riding tractors, cutting hay, working the land, and simply being together. His memory will live on through his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and everyone whose life he touched.
David Lynn Barnett will be deeply missed, but the love he gave and the memories he created will remain forever.
