FRANK HOWELL BARNETT

FRANK HOWELL BARNETT Frank Howell Barnett was born in Sudan, TX January 25, 1931, to J. O. Barnett Sr. and Susie Howell Barnett. He passed away in Lubbock, TX on December 16, 2013. His family moved to Clovis, NM in 1937, where Frank spent his formative In Clovis, Frank discovered the two great loves that would define him for the rest of his eventful life. The first great love was Christine Laughlin Barnett, who Frank met during high school, and who he married on April Fool’s Day, 1950. Their marriage began an adventure that would produce three children - Mickey, Becky, and Jan - and an endless supply of material for his second great love: storytelling.

A small memorial service will be held later at Raider Ranch. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Hospice of Lubbock at 3702 21st St, Lubbock, TX 79410.
