Jimmie "Jay" Barton

May 19, 1967 — May 21, 2023

 

Jimmie (Jay) Don Barton Jr., age 56, of Trussville, Alabama passed away on May 21, 2023.  Jay graduated from Jackson University.  He was passionate about his work at Byers Engineering.  His work ethic was impeccable and all that worked with him knew this.  The love and care he had for his employees was incredible.  He spent countless hours helping and working out issues with his employees.  Always patient, always helpful, always caring, sometimes loudly!  He loved and was so proud of his son Cliff, constantly talking about and praising him.  His grandchildren Keiden and Kehlani were his heart and soul.  His love for them was immeasurable.  He was blessed with two stepsons that he loved and treated like his own.  He was there for them at a moment’s notice to help, encourage, offer advice, or just listen.  His puppy dog pack will miss him dearly. He loved Auburn football emphatically.  Winning or losing, it didn’t matter, always a true Auburn fan.  Lastly, Jays one true love was his wife, Michelle.  Love at first sight were the words whenever he spoke of her. She was the beating of his heart.  Jay loved so many, to know him was a blessing.

Jay is preceded in death by his mother; Naomi Smith Barton; sister, Jacqueline Paige Barton, and niece Maegan Elisabeth Sime.

He leaves behind his loving wife, Michelle Kennedy Barton; sons, David (Cliff) Clifford Barton (Kristie), stepsons, Jacob Brechin (Kaitlyn), Joshua Brechin (Riley); father, Jimmie Don Barton Sr.; sisters, Barbara Barton Gillespie (Jim) and Rebecca Barton Duffie (Brad); grandchildren, Keiden Barton, Kehlani Barton; numerous nieces, and nephews, cousins, and friends.

Last by not least his puppy pack, Tuco, Buddy, Oddie, and Eddie.

Eulogy will be given by Becki Barton and Josh Brechin with prayers given by David Gillespie.

The family will receive friends on Saturday, May 27, 2023 from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm with a Celebration of life to follow at Jefferson Memorial Funeral Home.
