Daniel M. Barnes, age 62, of Carrollton GA, passed away peacefully on January 13th, 2021, after a short battle with cancer. He was born August 22nd, 1958 in Atlanta, GA, the only son of Dillard H. Barnes and Ellen A. Barnes. An alumnus of Stone Mountain High in 1975, Georgia State University in 1981, and Atlanta Law School in 1992, Dan was a practicing attorney in Carrollton, GA who has served the community for nearly 30 years. He is survived by his ex-wife, Jennifer Barnes of Carrollton, GA, his beloved children, Meghan Barnes of Santa Barbara, CA, Hannah Barnes Mitchell of Temple, GA, Sarah Barnes of Carrollton, GA, Robert Barnes of Carrollton, GA, and Tristin Barnes of Carrollton, GA, as well as three grandchildren, Leah, Max, and Ellie Mitchell.
Dan had an unmatched and infectious love of life and the people in it, and was able to touch countless lives through his selfless generosity to friends and strangers alike. His career as an attorney allowed him to help hundreds of people during tough times, but for him it was equally important to treasure the good times and indulge in passions of life. For Dan that included good food, travel, blackjack, motorcycles, history, private aviation, and most importantly, family. Dan seemed to be on a mission to never spend a weekend at home. Through many trips to Disney, around the country, and around the world he was able to share with his family and friends the joys of travel and exploration. He had a unique ability to connect with absolutely anyone. Never one to worry too much about the future or the past, Dan truly lived in the moment and indulged in it, and brought every soul around him along. We are all richer to have known him and thankful for the time we've had.
A memorial service will be conducted Saturday, January 30th 2021 at 2:00 PM at Martin & Hightower Heritage Chapel with Rev. Jimmy Bryan officiating. In keeping with the family's wishes, his body has been cremated.
Martin and Hightower Heritage Chapel has charge of the arrangements. In lieu of flowers, the family requests a donation to one of Dan's favorite charities, at freewheelchairmission.org
