Robert Dorsey “Bob” Barnes, passed away on December 17, 2023, from complications of dementia. Bob was born on September 13, 1937, in Denver, Colorado, to Dr. And Mrs. Dorsey King Barnes. Bob and his sister, Sue, grew up in Dallas, and he was in the class of 1955 at Highland Park High School.

Bob graduated from Southern Methodist University in 1960 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and was a member of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity. He then attended Texas A&M, earning a master’s degree and a Ph.D. in Entomology in 1963 and 1965, respectively. Bob then taught Biology at Del Mar College in Corpus Christi, Texas. From public education to higher education, as a student and a professor, Bob made friends who became family, and he remembered them fondly until the day he died.

Bob married Janye Evelyn Barclay on July 1, 1962, in Silsbee, Texas, and they celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary in 2021, two months before her death. They reared their two daughters, Lisa and Amy, in Corpus Christi and then in San Angelo, Texas. In 1980, Bob came to San Angelo to work for a fraternity brother who was a custom home builder and Bob soon became "the best construction manager with a Ph.D. in Entomology that there ever was!" As such, Bob played a part in the construction of many of the beautiful homes in San Angelo in the 80s and 90s. Bob completed his working years as a Construction Manager for Town & Country Food Stores and retired in 2000 to spend more time with Janye and his three precious grandchildren…and hunting.

Bob was an outdoorsman of the highest order. He loved to fish, and gun hunt, but his true love became bowhunting after killing his first deer with a recurve bow in 1956 at the Vanderstucken Ranch in Sonora, Texas. His love of the outdoors led him on many adventures all over the world. He hunted Plains Game in South Africa, Red Stag in New Zealand, Brown Bear and Elk in New Mexico, Moose and Caribou in Canada, and so many whitetail deer he ran out of wall space to show off his trophies. He fished in Saskatchewan, Interior Mexico, the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico, the Snake River, and all over Texas. He loved to dove hunt down in the Rio Grande Valley, and one of his highlight hunting trips was with the entire family in Cordoba, Argentina, for the ultimate dove hunt, with the family killing more than 4000 doves over a five-day trip.

Once his grandchildren came along, though, he scaled back his personal hunting to ensure that they loved the outdoors and understood the value of the humane harvesting of wild game. All three killed their first deer with their Papa and became proficient with all firearms.

Bob was a proud member of First Methodist Church and the Cheers Sunday School class. He was one of the Do-Dads, who did odd jobs around the church (and also drank coffee, ate donuts, and told stories). He attended Walk to Emmaus #1191 and humbly served on many teams and the Concho Country Emmaus Board. He considered the Walk to Emmaus to be the defining moment in his faith journey and was wearing his Emmaus cross as he fell asleep on earth. He spent most Tuesdays at noon with the God's Guys Emmaus Reunion Group until Janye's and his health kept him from it. He was also instrumental in helping to create the 4H Shooting Sports Club and taught many young men and women to become shooting enthusiasts.

Welcoming Bob to Heaven are his parents; his wife, Janye; his "favorite daughter," Amy Barnes Landon; and family and friends he remembered even to his last days. Left to celebrate his life on Earth are his "favorite daughter," Lisa Barnes Hirschfeld, and her husband, Kendall; his sister, Sue Barnes Wills and her husband, Don; his stepbrothers, John Phalen and George C. Phalen, and their families; his son-in-law, Clint Landon; his grandchildren: Chris & Bonnie Hirschfeld, Amanda Hirschfeld, and Bobby Hirschfeld; cousins, in-laws, nieces, nephews, and many friends-who-are-family.

The family would like to thank The Springs Memory Care, Ginny Fuchs and the staff at Lyndale Senior Living, Hospice of San Angelo, and Drs. Ty Hughston, Raj Cheruku, and Denver Marsh and their staffs.

Honorary Pallbearers are Kendall Hirschfeld, Clint Landon, Dr. Larry Petty, Don Wills, the late Charlie Landon, God’s Guys Reunion Group, and anyone who ever shared a fishing boat or deer blind with Bob.

Grace Lynell Benson Seaton was born in San Angelo, Texas on August 9,1949 to Martin Benson and Tommie Riddle Benson. She passed from this life to her eternal reward on December 15,2023 at the age of 74.

Lynell graduated from Central High School in San Angelo where she excelled in sports, and she attended Angelo State University.

Lynell was employed by Concho Educators’ Federal Credit Union as its secretary when the credit union operated from a small office in what was formerly Lincoln Junior High School. She was working in the Tom Green County Probation Office when she met the love of her life, John, who, at the time was stationed at Goodfellow Air Force Base. Lynell loved to tell the story of how they met and was convinced that an angel brought them together. They were married on February 4, 1972. They very nearly made it to 52 years of sharing their lives together,

They took advantage of their opportunities to travel while John was stationed at Ft. Meade, Maryland and assigned to NSA and finishing his enlistment at Karamursel, Turkey. Lynell and John returned to San Angelo where she became the first female juvenile probation officer employed by the Tom Green County Juvenile Probation Office and she worked in that capacity while helping John finish college. It was during that time she became the mother of Josh, her pride and joy. When John graduated from college, Lynell chose to become a full time stay at home wife and mom, however she continued to be active in the church, teaching Bible classes and supporting the work of the church and working as a church secretary.

When Josh started school, she became an active volunteer at McGill Elementary School, volunteering as a teacher’s aide, room mother, a formidable and dedicated school crossing guard, and serving in several PTA capacities including President. She thoroughly enjoyed the hard work and challenge involved in fundraising and particularly enjoyed organizing and working the Halloween Carnivals.

Lynell enjoyed hunting and fishing with John and was particularly fond of vacation trips they made to Big Bend and Fort Davis. She was a great storyteller of their adventures. Her version of their adventures often didn’t coincide with John’s recollections, however, John usually admitted that Lynell’s version was much more entertaining.

Lynell enjoyed crafts and especially enjoyed giving her craftwork away as a token of her appreciation. One of her most memorable efforts has been to create small flower vases that she has given away to hundreds of friends, relatives, and acquaintances. Her gifts of flowers can be found throughout the City and Shannon Medical Center’s many clinics, reception areas, exam rooms, and even some of the hospital nurse’s stations.

Lynell is preceded in death by her father, Martin Benson, her mother, Tommie Benson, and her brother, Bobby. She is survived by John and Josh and his wife, Leslie whom she loved as a mother would love a daughter. Other survivors include her brothers, Larry Benson and his wife Ginny and Bill Benson and his wife Beverly, and nieces and nephews.

The family is especially appreciative of the care Lynell was given by the Shannon Oncology Department, especially the nurses and staff who never failed to provide excellent care and encouragement and to Shannon’s ICU and Fourth Floor South staffs for their tireless efforts to care for her and make her comfortable during her final admission to the hospital and, also, to Hospice of San Angelo whose amazing staff never failed to assist the family and Lynell during a most difficult time.

Harper Funeral Home is handling the memorial service which will be held on Monday, December 18, 2023 at Southgate church of Christ with Paul Shero and Frank Berthall officiating. In lieu of flowers, the family would prefer donations be made to San Angelo Christian Academy, Cherokee Children’s Home, or the mission work of Chadbourne North church of Christ or Southgate church of Christ.
