  38. Donna and Family,
    We are so sorry you and Coy had such a long and painful journey to his most joyful end. But we can rejoice knowing he is shouting now pain-free in heaven!!! You and he were, and are such soldiers and God blessed you with his Grace and it did not go unnoticed. He was such a witness for Him. We will continue to pray for you and your family and know that you are now in the palm of his hands and in his care. “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saints….”

  39. We are remembering the joy?, happiness & BIG smile Coy had @the family reunions. He loved his family, brothers & sisters, nieces & nephews, cousins, etc and wanted them together each year(Donna we know this would not happen without your love of family also). Coy was a true ambassador for Christ, he wore his faith well. Donna, Amy, Cindy & family, we know you will miss Coy & it is OK to grieve. But know that Coy has no sorry or pain just unspeakable joy! Your family.has been & will continue to be a “light” in this dark world. Coy & you Donna, have made a mark in your generation for Kingdom of Heaven. We pray for comfort & peace to be upon your families & each & every one that Coy touched on this earth. You are loved.

  43. It was always a joy to meet up with Coy when I was out and about plus at church… Donna was with him too (She’s a sweetie too)… He always had a gentleness about him … maybe one could say a calmness… I would say it was his faith and his undeniable love for Jesus… This is not goodbye but “Hey Coy, see ya later”…

  46. To all of the family of Coy Barnett. I haven’t known Coy for very many years, but from day one it was apparent that he was a blessing to so many. He had a heart that was full of love for everyone. His family surely was blessed of GOD to enjoy and see the heart of GOD working in and through a servant and vessel of GOD. Praying for all of you.

  60. Too soon you left this world, for our hearts to know
    how to say goodbye, or how to let you go.
    Often we don’t understand, God’s ever perfect plan
    but He has given certain days to be accomplished by each man.
    You were a mighty man of God, evidenced by your life
    the lives you touched upon your walk were brightened by His light.
    You fought the fight and ran the race, then God called “Come home”
    With open arms He welcomed you, “Well done my faithful son”
    Donna, you are in my heart and I love you! Coy was a wonderful man and will be forever missed! You and the rest of the family are in my prayers!

  70. Coy is loved, he is kind, compassionate, forgiving, accepting and lived a life of righteousness. Coy is generous, full of conviction, and loves his family and friends. Uncle Coy’s smile was contagious and he always made you feel like everything was “going to be all right”. He fought for a long time but the Lord finally called him home. A son, brother, husband, father, uncle, grandfather, friend…… now an Angel.

    The last time that we saw Coy he was smiling–something he did quite often. What a wonderful life, well-spent with a legacy of love from family and friends. What more can any of us achieve in a lifetime? Love God, love your family, and love your neighbor as yourself. He lived these scriptures every day as a husband, father, grandfather and friend. Our hearts are with you at this time.
