Perry Paul Barnes AKA Pawpaw, peacefully passed away at his home surrounded by loved ones on March 21st 2022. Perry was born on October 12, 1956 to Walter & Dora Barnes In Virginia, PA. As a child Perry spent a lot of time with his many siblings & grew up to be a crafty and skilled, self taught mechanic. Perry married the woman of his dreams; Deborah Barnes, over 30 years ago, whom he spent many years with growing and caring for their huge family. Perry is survived by his siblings; Ronny, Jeff, Jim, Larry, Rita, And Ruby; his children, Paul, Tina Weeks, Tina Blackmon, James Weeks and Nicole Trudeau; Pawpaw is also survived by 37 grand/great grandchildren, along with so many friends & family that will cherish the memories they’ve shared with him. Perry is preceded in death by his wife; Deborah Barnes, his parents; Dora and Walter Barnes, his siblings; Bruce and Benny Barnes, and his son; Michael Weeks. Perry loved his hot rods, spending time with his grandkids, being outdoors, and cooking the most amazing meals for his family! Pawpaw will be remembered for being hard on his family and always expecting the most of them, but most importantly, being the person they could always call on when they needed help. He was always there in a time of need. Pawpaw gave plates of food to anyone who entered his home. He was known for having the most decorated house in the neighborhood for each holiday! Pawpaw was fun, outgoing, and kept a smile on his face and everyone else’s. We will miss hearing the loud clacking sound of his keys and hearing him “row his boat” with his lips as he walked around. Perry will be remembered for being a dedicated father/grandfather and a jokester who could make even a stranger smile. Services for Perry will be held at Family Funeral & Cremation at 5627 N Davis Hwy in Pensacola FL, starting at 11AM. The family will follow him to his final resting place at Enon Baptist Church in Walnut Hill at 1PM which will be escorted by officials.
