Marc Howard Barnett (23 Apr 1960 - 13 Apr 2026)

Dear all family and friends,

We'd like to sincerely thank everyone who attended Marc's service a week last Friday, including those who dialled in from afar.

The huge turnout spoke to what everyone thought of Marc — the lovely man that he was. Hearing all of the kind words and funny stories from many of you made the day a touch easier, so we are grateful to everyone who made the effort. We all know he would've hated being the centre of attention, but we gave him a cracking send-off (which we feel he deserved). So, thank you all so much.

While our hearts will be forever broken, we will take every opportunity to celebrate Marc (and the children, their father).

We'd also like to express our sincere gratitude to Chris at D.G. Attwell's in Brynhyfryd, and Reverend Anthony Porter of St. David and St. Cyfelach's Church, Llangyfelach. Their care and professionalism in this time of heartache cannot be overstated.

With love,
Dee, Samantha, Christopher, and David xo

It was a huge privilege to lead your celebration of life service and to share the beautiful words that your children had but together. Your family and so many friends will miss you every single day.

Marc may you always keep Gods angels entertained with your humour. May you always remind the girls up there to touch up their roots and to schedule their nail appointments.

My prayer is that you will eternally rest in the peace of Gods Heaven. May you always shine done on your family and guide them in their life paths. Amen.

We first met Marc and Denise during their trip “ down under” in 2018. Marc was interested in everything about the farm and everything Australian. He never complained about the 42 degree heat..Marc was an easy going, gentle man who loved his family and a good curry. Our thoughts are with the whole family especially Denise, Sam, Chris and David
Love Stafford and Kim Job

Such sad news , sending Heartfelt sympathy to Denise and family, 💕

So sad to hear about Marc! He was one of the greatest people ive ever had the privilege to know. Worked with him for years at west cross house and nant-y-felin. A great friend and mentor. My heart is heavy to hear news of his passing.

It's with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to Marc. He had a rare gift for making everyone feel valued and supported, always being there when we needed him most. His smile wasn't just a smile; it was a beacon of warmth and positivity that filled every room he entered. Marc's spirit touched our lives in significant ways, and his memory will continue to inspire us. We send our deepest condolences and love to Denise & family. May he find eternal peace. We love and miss you Marcus! - San, Bry & Mandy ❤️🕊️
