John BARNETT Obituary

John A true gentleman in the world of television and out side television May You Rest In Peace fly with the angels John Cherylanne x

May his memory be a blessing. Wishing the family long life. We knew John back in the Habonim days. Good memories.

Glad to have shared some good times and lots of laughs over the years

Sending my condolences from London to John´s family. He was a wonderful man whom I lucky enough to meet whilst working on Whale Rider. We would continue to meet over the years when he was in London. May his memory be a blessing.

Sending our heartfelt condolences on John´s sudden passing, thinking of you all at this time, remembered fondly from all the team at Total Turf Services- Ian,Debbie, Duran & Brodie Kent

From the very early days of premises at the 'Pink Palace' in Oriental Parade, to my telephone conversation to congratulate John and Chloe on bringing 'Dark City - The Cleaner series to Christchurch, I have been lucky enough to experience the combination of warmth, regard, professionalism and passion John brought with him to the table. His death does indeed bring to an end an era defined very much by what he initiated, nurtured, defined and enabled. Go well Barney, you will not be forgotten.

John was very generous, with time and advice. He leaves a huge space to be filled in our world. He´ll be missed a long time.

First met Barney at Auckland University, there was a group of us from different faculties and we all got on well, having a great time; they were the best days ever to go to Uni. We all kept in touch over the years and I would try and see Barney when he was living in Wellington. He dragged me into the movie "Beyond Reasonable Doubt to assist with Court scenes. Grant Tilly didn't realise how much mischief court lawyers got up to in Court. Anyhow Barney remained a mate and when we would bump into each other we'd have a 'chinwag'. he was so proud of his marriage to Sarah. Last time I saw Barney was a couple of weeks ago scurrying across Jervois road we gave each other a wave and a smile.
Shalom ,Barney, a great man and friend.

May his memory be a blessing, may his life and accomplishments be a roll model to all. We will miss JB

Gone to soon Barney, well too soon

Long time personal friend and business associate

Well done, Barney.
You will be missed.

A generous man indeed. A kind man and a faithful friend. My sincere condolences to his family.

My sincere condolences. The sad news reached me today during my 4 weeks working in Hobart. I will always remember John for his incredible contribution to New Zealand movies and television. My thoughts are with you Linda and family as you celebrate his life and hold onto your cherished memories. John will be remembered in New Zealand history as a good citizen and member of our tribe.

Long life
