Visitation for Kohnell Marcus Barnes, 90, of Ferriday, LA will be held at New Harvest Assembly of God in Monterey, LA on Thursday, January 7, 2021 from 6pm-8pm. The family asks that all attendees please wear a mask.
Kohnell was born Saturday, May 3, 1930 in Baker, FL and passed away on Monday, January 4, 2021 in Ferriday, LA. He proudly served his country in the United States Army Air Force Corps. Kohnell was a member of New Harvest Assembly of God and loved the Lord. He attended church regularly up until March 2020 when the pandemic forced him to stay home for his safety. Kohnell loved animals, especially his two beloved dogs Rambo and Buddy and all those that went on before him. He had the most gentle soul and never minded lending a helping hand. Every second of his life, he lived to the fullest. Kohnell not only enjoyed his life, but he made sure everyone around him did as well. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle, friend, and so much more. Kohnell was loved and will dearly be missed.
