John BARNETT Obituary

16.1.1945 - 18.1.2026
After a short but brave fight with cancer our kind, generous, supportive husband, dad and Poppa has decided to concede defeat. He passed away peacefully, surrounded by those who love him, on Sunday afternoon. As per John's wishes, a private celebration of his life will be held. We thank all our family and friends for their support. Love Sue, Nicola and Nathan, Simon and Kate, Amy, Finlay, Zachary, Honor, Flynn and Bowie Dog. In lieu of flowers, we kindly ask for donations to the exceptional Nelson Hospice.
