Matthew BarnesMatthew Lyn Barnes, 33, of Hendersonville, Tennessee, passed away Thursday, March 4, 2021. He was surrounded by his loving family after a courageous year battle of brain and spine cancer. He was born on May 30, 1987 in Murray, Kentucky.

Matthew wanted, from day one, to impact anyone else who suffers from this horrible disease and to raise awareness from his struggle. He was brave, selfless, loving, caring, and concerned about others above himself always. Matthew burned his brilliant light fast and hard. He lived his dream everyday growing his own companies, supporting his family, and his employees. In his short time, he impacted the world and so many people. Matthew leaves a gap in his absence, but he contributed more than anyone could imagine.
