Barnett, Douglas Carlyle

Douglas Carlyle Barnett of Christiansburg, VA passed to his heavenly home on Saturday May 1, 2021 at the age of 74.

He was a member of Prices Fork United Methodist Church and enjoyed a lifelong occupation as a Master Electrician. He had a beautiful tenor singing voice, and during his college years was a member of the all male Virginia Tech Varsity Glee Club which at one time hosted a concert for then President Lyndon Johnson.
