It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Barnett Smith surrounded by the love of his family on December 17, 2024 at the age of 82.
Barry was fun loving, intelligent, well read, competitive, hard-working, resourceful, adventurous, inventive, and a sensitive person with a great sense of humor that always carried him through the tough spots in life.
He was an avid outdoors man, fisherman, camper and hunter and spent many childhood summers in the wilderness of Ontario. His commitment and love of the environment led him to a thriving career as a Professional Forester for the MNR for over 27 years until he retired. He had a strong voice in the forest policy development and decision making process which was a crucial element of the province’s environment and economy. After he retired, he mastered a new skill building furniture for friends, family and as consignment pieces. His life was a testament to the power of passion, dedication and love.
Cherished Husband, Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather. Left to mourn his immeasurable loss is his devoted wife, Janet of 42 years – his best friend and the person who deified the daily storms of life at his side. Treasured and loving Father of Vanessa, Jeannine (Andrew), Bobbi-Jo (Ted), April (Margo) and Shelly (Kevin). His guidance and support as a parent will be lovingly remembered and profoundly missed.
His favorite people called him Papa or Pops. The lessons he imparted and his presence in their lives along with a world of love has left lasting memories to cherish for their lifetime. Deeply missed by Savannah, Darcy (Kyra), Tristan (Julie) and Robert. Great Grandfather to Janessa and Walker.
Predeceased by his parents Bernice and Cedric, his brother Tim, sister-in-law Brenda and brother-in-law Wesley. He will be dearly missed by his fishing partner and brother-in-law Jim (Terrie), and his sister-in-law’s Terrie, Kathleen and Judy.
He will be missed by his many cousins he made childhood memories with. He will be truly missed and thought of often by his longtime friend, colleague and wood working partner Peter Gagnon.
The family extends their heart felt gratitude to his medical team, specialists and health care professionals.
