He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle, friend, and so much more. Kohnell was loved and will dearly be missed. He is reunited with his parents, Lunnie Barnes and Lillie Richards Barnes; son, Gary Kohnell Barnes; daughter, Thersea Marteal Barnes; and his siblings, Chrystelle Brannon, Ernestine Jones, Pomelia "Barney" Barnes, Rhett Barnes, and Durell Barnes.
