With great sorrow, the Barnett, Howard, Mallory, and Phillips families announce the passing of our kind and caring husband, father, brother, grandfather, and friend, Glen Edward Barnett, 70, of Clarksville, Florida. Glen was surrounded by his wife, family, and friends at the home of John and Christine Mallory on March 1, 2023. Glen’s legacy began on December 29, 1952, in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, but he would not really begin to make his mark on the world until he and his family moved to Clarksville, Florida in 1961. His parents then enrolled the children into Carr school, or miles as he fondly called it. During his years there he made many lifelong friends who still pass along stories of the good times they shared at the school. Glen went on to attend Blountstown High, Chipola College, receiving an AA degree, and finally finishing his education at Gulf Coast Community College, where he received his bachelor's in social science. Through the years, Glen would work at Sunland and the Social Security office in Jackson county Florida. The positions he filled were always served others. Glen would spend his entire working career in the service of others, improving the quality of their lives. During this time, Glen would become a husband, father, and uncle. His time as a husband would be short-lived as some things are only meant for a season. Glen was a very devoted father to Amy Barnett. They made many wonderful memories together during her childhood. Glen was also an avid bowler. He was a member of a league that met once a week in Marianna Florida. It was on this league he met Sally Phillips. It wasn't long before he became like a member of the family to the Phillips. Glen attended many family gatherings at the Phillips home. At one of these gatherings, he met Sally's sister and future wife, Dottie Howard, however it would not be until another 30 years before Glen and Dottie would marry. On May 22, 2021 Glen and Dottie finally wed. Glen was a devoted and loving husband to Dottie during the few short, but fulfilling years they had together. He spent his days doing his best to bring joy to her life. She could depend on him for anything, and he loved doing her honey-do list. Especially if the task involved driving his tractor. In the end, it would be her that stood by his side to help him like he had helped so many others in his years. For five heartbreaking months he fought for his life. Over the years Dottie, now a grandmother, has suffered her own set of problems leaving her body fragile, yet for him she would carry the weight for both of them. Soon more would come to their aid. His brother-in-law and wife opened their home so that Glen and Dottie could remain together during his final days. Glen is survived and missed by his loving wife, Dottie Howard Barnett, his daughter and son-in-law, Jim and Amy Barnett Tedeschi, and grandchildren Logan and Evan Tedeschi, two stepchildren, Angela Howard, and Matthew Howard, and three step-grandchildren, Caleb, Alec, and Daniel Howard, one brother, Tom and Mavis Barnett, six nephews, and seven nieces, one sister, Faith Barnett, and four more nieces and nephews. In total, Glen leaves behind 11 grand-nieces and nephews and two great-nieces and nephews. His memory lives on in a host of cousins and a host of friends. Glen is preceded in death by his parents, David and Elizabeth Barnett. Anyone who would like to celebrate the life of Glen Edward Barnett is invited to gather on March 12, 2023, @ 3 PM at Poplar Head Baptist Church, 19118 N. West State Rd. 73, Clarksville, FL 32430.
