ForeverMissed
Large image

This website was created in memory of my brother, James Dustin Barnes who was just 29 years old. In looking for the right thing to say in this opening, I realize that there is nothing right or wrong to be said. Dustin was many things but above all else he was a son, a brother, and a bestfriend. He will be missed more than a few simple words can express, but my hope is that with this webpage his memory will last forever. Thank you for visiting this memorial page and remembering my brother. Please also visit the HIS LIFE section for more on my brother and information on a fundraiser we are having in honor of his memory.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have no words to express how I feel so I will let the Bible speak for me:

‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain...' - Revelation 21:4

Kim, Trent and Raven-

I am so sorry to hear about Dustin's passing. Andrew really enjoyed his friendship with Dustin and we have many good memories of your time in St. Louis. I wish that there were words to comfort you. I can see by the photos that Dustin really made an impact on the lives of his students and he looks so happy. Please know that he will be remembered and that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers.

James was always awesome! He had a great sense of humor and would always help me with my jiujitsu. He had a very charismatic and magnetic personality.

For the short amount of time we knew you, you played a key role in one of the proudest moments of me and my son's life. You were there for him during his first tournament and coached him through to victory. For that we will always be grateful. Rest in peace James (Barney)!

I am not sure if picture number 38 was from our trip to Hawaii or St. Thomas. But I'm thinking St. Thomas as Dustin and Anthony both look like they had too much fun! Dustin had us all laughing with his antics. He had such a great smile. May he rest in peace.
Raven, he would love what you are doing for him. My heart goes out to you and your parents.
