John Timothy Barry

It is with great sorrow and the utmost respect that we announce the passing of John Timothy Barry, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, who left this world peacefully on March 27, 2026, surrounded by the warmth and love of his cherished family. Born on July 22, 1964, in the heart of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, John's journey was one characterized by love, laughter, and a profound dedication to his family and passions. John was the beloved husband of Angela Barry, his devoted partner of nearly four decades. Their love story began on June 13, 1986, and together they crafted a life filled with joy, support, and unwavering commitment. As a couple, John and Angela cultivated a nurturing home that became the foundation for a large and loving family. He was the proud father of two daughters, Heather Love (Glenn) and Shanna Duncan (Andrew), who brought immense pride and happiness into his life. John’s legacy continues through his eight treasured grandchildren: Emberly Gaddy, Kysleigh Love, Sivettlana Shirley, Brantley Love, Gracie Shirley, Kinsley Love, Skyleigh Love, and Waylon Love. His heart was further blessed with the joy of a great-grandchild, whose presence added another layer of fulfillment to his days. A man of simple pleasures, John found solace and joy in the gentle rhythm of the water. An avid fisherman, he spent countless serene hours casting his line, often accompanied by his grandchildren, with whom he shared his love for the outdoors. Those peaceful moments on the water were a testament to his appreciation for life’s quiet beauty and the importance he placed on family bonds. John's life will be celebrated on April 1, 2026, at 1:00 PM at Usrey Funeral Home, located at 21271 US HWY 231, Pell City, AL 35125. Friends and family are invited to join in remembering a life well-lived and a man deeply loved by all who knew him. His spirit will remain in the hearts of those he touched, and his legacy will be carried forward by his family. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made in John’s memory to a charity of your choice that supports family and community, reflecting the values he held dear. John Timothy Barry will be remembered as a beacon of love, kindness, and dedication. His life was a testament to the power of family, the joy of simple pleasures, and the enduring strength of love.
