Robert (“Bob”) Lee Barnes, 62, of Hartshorn, Missouri peacefully passed away at the home of his sister Wanda Sokol, in Friendswood, Texas on Tuesday, March 8, 2016. Bob was the son of James Author Barnes and Bessie Faye Bryant Barnes. He was born December 27, 1953 in Summersville, Missouri. Bob was led to the Lord by Pastor Rick Austin of Friendswood Baptist Church, Friendswood, Texas on May 5, 1991 at the age of 37. He loved his Lord, as was evidenced by his favorite verse marked in his Bible, I Corinthians 13:11 “When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” His faith kept him during these last several years of terrible illness, anguish and grief. He looked forward to seeing his Jesus and other relatives in Glory!
Bob was a pipe welder working for numerous contractors that took him to various places across the country and to the Caribbean. He was truly a master craftsman working for chemical plants, refineries, pipelines, and offshore platforms. Bob lived with his best friend “Buddy,” his great pyrenees dog, in Hartshorn, Missouri for the past several years where he loved his home, his friends, his family, the fresh air, and just living the simple life. Bob had a wit about him and could wind a good story. He will sorely be missed by family and friends.
Bob is survived by his mother Bessie Faye McCallister; brothers, Perry Thurlow Barnes and Carl Ray Barnes; sister Wanda Kaye Sokol; stepbrother, David Keith McCallister; and stepsister, Linda Kay McCallister.
Bob is preceded in death by his father James Author Barnes; stepfather Ralph McCallister, Jr.; oldest brother James Author Barnes, Jr.; and sister Rhonda Faye Irey.
