Brian Douglas Barnes, MD, 31, of Iowa City, passed away Sunday, June 27, 2021.
He was born June 2, 1990, in Kansas City, Missouri, the son of Douglas and Patsy (Okelberry) Barnes. He received a Bachelor's Degree in Nutrition Science from Utah State University and a Doctor of Medicine Degree from The University of Kansas School of Medicine.
Brian was currently working as a Urology Resident at the University of Iowa.
He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served a two-year church mission in Long Beach, California, speaking Spanish.
Brian had a passion for road and gravel cycling, rock climbing, and watching Kansas Jayhawk basketball.
Brian chose to take his own life. The reasons are not known but what is known is that no one is immune from the inner turmoil that leads one to do so. It is painful and often those suffering feel like they have no outlet. In that time, he must have felt that he had no one he could reach out to for help. Those who complete suicide often feel this way. Please be aware of those around you and be the support they need. If you suspect someone you care about is thinking about suicide, please call the national suicide hotline at 1-800-273-8255.
Survivors include his parents and brother, Bradley (Jennekah) Barnes. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, John and Beverly (Olsen) Okelberry and Charles and Vera (Olsen) Barnes.
A Funeral Ceremony will be at 11:00 am, Saturday, July 10, 2021 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 3611 SW Jewell Ave, in Topeka. A visitation will be held from 6:00pm- 8:00pm on Friday, July 9th at the church.
