Former educator Barnes dies unexpectedly

Former teacher, coach and administrator Kent Barnes died unexpectedly on Wednesday, Aug. 12. He was 69.

Barnes, who was retired and living in Michigan, taught at Murray and Crittenden County before moving to Michigan where he was a superintendent of schools in two districts over 19 years.

Although he'd been gone from Marion for more than 20 years, Barnes still maintained friendships here, including those with us at The Crittenden Press.
