Eric Barnes Obituary

In loving memory of Eric Matthew Barnes, 50, who passed away 2/15/2023 in Bayfield Colorado.

Eric was born to parents Danny Barnes and Anne Barnes (Glover) on 9/27/1970. Eric joins his loving parents in the Great Beyond, may they rest in peace.

"As I leave the Earth,

Among the stars, I soar

Rising higher to Thee

I cannot ask for more.

But to fly with wings unfurled

To reach the vast beyond,

My spirit is of the universe,

The universe is where I belong."

~ J.C. High Eagle

Eric is survived by his sister Amy Barnes (Daniels) and extended family and friends.

A memorial gathering will be held at a later date in the spring time when the sun shines and the flowers bloom.

Fly free Eric, you are loved.
