Bradley Bingham Barnes Jr. was born on January 30, 1945, in the small town of Troy, NY on the Eastern bank of the Hudson River. Brad (i.e., Pop and Pepop – as he was known by his grandchildren) passed away peacefully, with his loving wife and son by his side, on March 3, 2022, in Baker, WV.

Brad spent his childhood years living in Greenville, TN, onto Dover, NJ. The family then relocated to Chester, VA years later where he soon started and ran a HVAC Business for 38 years - Barnes Heating & Cooling, Inc.

Brad was loved by his community and proved throughout his business trek. This passion allowed him to enjoy many special times and moments with his family throughout these wonderful years.

Brad loved adventure and the outdoors with his family.  Many summers were enjoyed boating on Buggs, Island Lake (Kerr Reservoir) where he perfected the art of slinging his sons to the stratosphere utilizing the tubes being towed by him.  He would never turn down a great moment to educate, how to hang on.  He was certainly the captain!

When not on the water, Brad could often be found enjoying the open road in their RV with his wife by his side as they enjoyed the many late memories of their explorations. He was true and open hearted which was worn on his shoulder, anyone would say.  Someone who appreciated life and exemplified kindness.

He is survived by a loving family: his wife Robbie Barnes, his sons Al, Dale & Lee (wife Lindsey, grandson Christian), granddaughter Hannah (Husband Lenny), brother Russ, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

He is preceded by his mother Charlotte R. Barnes, father Bradley B. Barnes Sr and Sister Barbara Moore.

There will be a Celebration of life held at a later date.

All arrangements are being handled by McKee Funeral Home, Baker, WV.
