I was shocked to read on the Parker site that Steve Barnett passed away last night. I knew he was ill, but didn't realize the gravity of his illness! I knew Steve for over 20 years and had many fine dealings with him and spent a lot of time with him at all the many Vintage events, Safari Clubs in Vegas and Dallas and other events around the country. He was a gentleman and a fine human being. The gun world will never be quite the same. You'll be missed Steve and my condolences to your family. I'm sorry we never were able to take that trip to Argentina!

Godspeed, Mr. Barnett. You had a fine store full of beautiful guns, and while I never did business with you, I enjoyed being the kid in the candy store, many times.
Best, Ted

I am so saddened to hear that Steve has passed. I always looked forward to spending some time with him at shoots and exhibitions. I assume it was his heart?
My condolences to his family and associates.

May God bless America and those who defend her.

I corresponded with him a few time on Reilly's he was selling. He was always accommodating and the guns he offered in the South were high quality. RIP.

Steve was a good friend of mine for the last 30 years or so. He was a fine man with volumes of knowledge and a glowing personality. Ill miss our conversations and just knowing he was only a phone call away. Rest easy my friend. Ill see you on the other side.

I talked to him this week , gave him a report on how well his and her family members did in showing a large selection of his wares at a private function in western Georgia last weekend. He thanked me for my help ( it was limited) and said he was looking forward to the Safari show season.....Good guy, I shared a LOT of laughs with him....did a good bit of business as well. His will be a hard niche to fill in the fine gun world....
