Larry Lee Barnes

March 24, 1971 - September 15, 2021

Long-time Pell City resident, Larry Lee Barnes, age 50, a sincere and devoted husband, father and friend, passed on to his Eternal life on Wednesday, September 15th, 2021. After successfully completing chemotherapy treatment for pancreatic cancer over the spring and summer months, post-surgical complications suddenly called him Home. Preceded in death by his father, Larry O’Neal Barnes, he is survived by his wife Samantha, and their two children Mason and Madison. Other surviving loved ones include his mother, Javene Barnes, siblings Bryan Barnes, Tammy (Wilson) Taylor, Lisa (Craig) McCugh - and all of their children whom he loved dearly. Larry’s dedication extended beyond just friends and family to his long-time work family at CMC Steel. His work and the people he worked with were very important to him. When not working, Larry covered a lot of ground, invariably with friends and family in tow - from supporting his son, Mason in the stands at football games and wrestling matches, to his daughter, Madison at Girl Scout events, halftime shows and competitions, to a seat in church with his family by his side, date nights with his wife, helping a friend, hitting the links, or casting a line and captaining his boat. On the rare occasion that he might sit still, it would likely be to enjoy a good book or watch some ‘Bama football with his canine girls Kiko and Minnie at his side! With his ready smile and playful sense of humor, anyone around could count on Larry to make laughs and smiles 100% contagious - especially if you saw him dance - and we’re sure he’s dancing now!! Friends and loved ones are invited to attend Larry’s memorial service at Church of the Highlands Chapel, Grant’s Mill campus, 4700 Highlands Way, Birmingham, AL 35210, on Thursday, September 23rd, 2021, with visitation at 3:30PM and service at 4:30PM. As an expression of sympathy, in lieu of flowers, you may consider a donation to the Barnes Memorial College Fund through Metro Bank. ROLL TIDE!!
