Francis "Frank" E. Barnes

Frank Barnes, 79, passed away peacefully on July 28, 2026. Born on April 1, 1947, in Winfield, Louisiana, Frank lived a life marked by faith, service, hard work, and unwavering love for his family. He proudly served his country in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam Era. His military service reflected the dedication, honor, and integrity that would characterize the rest of his life. Frank shared 45 wonderful years of marriage with the love of his life, Jeri. Together they built a life centered on faith, family, and love, and they were looking forward to celebrating their 46th wedding anniversary on September 19. A devoted Christian, Frank loved the Lord with all his heart and was a faithful member of his church. He deeply loved his church family and treasured the friendships and fellowship he found there. He was known as a hardworking man with a big heart, a caring spirit, and a willingness to help anyone in need. He found joy in goat farming and took great pride in providing for his family. Above all else, Frank's greatest blessing was his family. He is survived by his beloved wife, Jeri; his daughter, Missy; his sons, Michael and Ben; his 11 cherished grandchildren; his great-grandson; and his two sisters, Judy Northcutt and Nell Maxwell, both of Texas. He also leaves behind many extended family members, dear friends, and fellow church members whose lives were enriched by his kindness and faithful example. Frank's legacy of faith, love, compassion, and hard work will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. Though he will be deeply missed, his family finds comfort in knowing he is at peace in the presence of his Lord and Savior.
