Passed away at the Community hospital in Anderson after a brief battle of pneumonia with his loving family by his side.
Malcolm was born April 11, 1939 in Anderson, the son of Chester Bryan Barnes and Georgia Grace Decker Barnes.
Barney graduated from Highland High school in Anderson 1957. He married the "love of his life" Linda Kay (Wools) on July 2, 1960. His leisure time was spent as a mason, avid woodcarver, bird watcher and gardenner.
He was a sports enthusiast and life long CHicaggo Cubs fan. He enjoyed music and performing for others. He played multiple instruments, including the guitar, violin, and banjo. He was a dog whisperer and his many dogs loved him, including his most recent, Blake.
He is survived byhis wife Linda Wools Barnes daughters Kimberly Anne (Ritch) Blake, Any Beth(David) Cherry, Chrissie Irene (Kent) Saunders one son, James. Granddaughters Jill Willmann, Kaylin Bond, great grandsons, Eli Man and Benjamine Man and many more.
He was retired from Delco Remy after 40 years of service.
Barney had an excellent sense of humor and always a witty remark or observation about life. The love of laughter and seeing the humorous side of things lives on through his offspring.
He was a "tough old bird" and on one was going to tell him he couldn't wear his bib overhalls to any occasion. He would want you to remember to "grow a beard" when you are acting like a sissy and "too much bathin in a weakens you" when you were being high maintenance. If you were wondering how two people wind up together, he might have lamented " there is a lid for every pot" to remind you how life works.
If you really knew Malcolm Dale Barnes, then you are well aware that these examples used here are on the mild side. We thought it would be best to keep it PG-13. He was one of a kind, fantastic and the best kind of man. We love him very much!
He is survived by his wife, Linda Kay (Wools) Barnes; four children, Kimberly Anne (Ritch) Blake, Amy Beth (David) Cherry, James Matthew Barnes & Chrissie Irene (Kent) Saunders. He leaves 12 grandchildren, Jill Willmann, Bethany (Andrew) Quinn, Kaylin Bond, Joshua Cherry, Jacob Cherry, Megan (Hunter) Edwards, Emily Cherry, Kelcey Saunders, Matthew Barnes, Khloe Saunders; and three great-grandchildren, Eli May, Benjamin May and Ava Edwards. He is also survived by his sister, Carol Carr; and several nieces and nephews.
He was preseded in death by both parents; his brother and sister-in-law Chester Wayne and DOrothy Barnes; and infant brother Francis Cammon Barnes.
A private memorial service will take place at a later date.
Memorial contributions can be made in Malcolms honor to the Animal Protection League, 613 Dewey St. Anderson, IN 46016.
Missed by many relatives and friends.
