David enjoyed spending time with his friends and family. He was definitely the “Life of the Party”. He was an avid lottery player and his favorite rapper was Lil Boosie. He was a jokester and had quite a sense of humor. He loved tattoos and was tattooed with captivating images. His body was a canvas and each and every tattoo told a story. Despite many obstacles and challenges he faced in life, he lived with resilience and courage and never let obstacles stand in his way. His strength and determination were an inspiration to all who knew him. One trait of his that stood out was his caring and loving spirit. He was always eager to offer a helping hand. 

He was the loving father to David Barnes Jr., Aniyah Harris and Ashton Tyler all of Hagerstown, Md.

In life, David made the choice to be an organ donor. David lives on in the lives of four strangers. He gave the gift of life and in his death continues to care for others.
