This past week, Linton said “good-bye” to its #1 fan, Andy Barnes. It is amazing the number of lives he touched in his 38 short years here. Standing in the long line to enter the funeral service only served to confirm that fact. Anyone who is someone in our town was there, from government and school leaders to a large student contingent; it seemed all ages and all strata of society where in attendance.
It was a beautiful celebration of Andy’s life. Andy loved sports, specifically Linton sports. Dressed in red and blue school colors, he never missed a game but was always there cheering and encouraging the team. He had an infectious love of life, sports, other people and His Lord Jesus. He was genuine, kind and fun. He will be missed.
Seems we would all do well to take a page or two from his playbook.
