Jay Lynn Barnes

Jay Lynn Barnes, age 64, passed away on June 1, 2021. Jay was born March 9, 1957 in American Fork, Utah, to Ernest and Shannon Barnes.

Jay loved fishing, hunting, spending time in the garden and talking to family and friends, some of his passions were music and working at the Simplot mine where he made most of his lifelong friends. He loved his motorcycles and his tractors; you could always find him working on projects and humming or tapping to a tune. He loved spending time with his family and watching his grandkids play and help him in the garden, he really loved it when they came over and shared cookies and other sweets with him.
