Jack S. Barnes Jr., 69, of Bedford, Indiana, passed away on Friday, October 11, 2024, at IU Health in Bloomington, Indiana, with his family by his side.
Jack was born on April 29, 1955, in Danville, Illinois. He was the son of Jack S. Barnes Sr., and Ramonda (Nicoson) Barnes.
Survivors include his adopted son of 12 years: Brandon Barnes of Bedford, Indiana; his brother: Rick Barnes of Danville, Illinois; his niece: Amy McCarty of San Antonio, Texas, and his beloved cat, Ani.
Jack was preceded in death by his parents, sisters: Debbie Barnes Catron, and Sharon Barnes.
Jack attended Cannon School, East Park Jr High and graduated from Danville High School class of 1973. Jack went on to attend General Motors Institute of Technology in Flint, Michigan, graduating in 1976. He then went to work for General Motors for over 40 years, starting at the Tilton facility, then moving to the Bedford, Indiana facility when Tilton closed.
Jack loved the holidays and especially Halloween and Christmas. He would decorate his home to the point that Better Homes and Gardens would be envious. He loved to cook, make holiday meals, candy, and deck gardening. Jack loved living in “The Woods” with his good neighbors and enjoying the wildlife and nature of the subdivision. His home was the place to be for fall cookouts.
Jack’s visitation will be on Saturday, October 19, 2024, from 1PM-3PM at Sunset Funeral Home and Cremation Center 3940 N Vermilion Street in Danville, Illinois. His funeral will follow at 3PM at the funeral home with Pastor Greg Taylor officiating. Interment will be at Sunset Memorial Park next to his parents and sisters.
