Obituary for David Edward "Ed" Barber
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God Born of his Spirit, washed in His blood...
Mr. David Edward "Ed" Barber, 64, beloved son of Willie Gean Alexander Barber and the late Hugh Edward Barber, passed away at his home on Tuesday, October 18, 2022. He was born in Iredell County, on November 9, 1957.
He was married to the late Tiny Watts, who preceded him in death. In addition to his wife, he was preceded in death by his father, Hugh Edward Barber; his only son, David O'Bryan Barber; his sister, Eileen (Beck) Mott; a brother, Alexis Christopher Barber; and a nephew, Camery Deon Barber.
He leaves to cherish the memory of his life, his mother, Willie Gean Barber of Statesville; four daughters, Tamra "Shaye" (DiMura) Sheller of Winston Salem, Demetrice "Chub" (Tracy) Miller of Statesville, Keia "Keke" Young of Statesville, and Daphanie "Yum" (Shane) Terry of Statesville; grandchildren, Shayla Gillespie, Darrius Bradshaw, DeShawna Bradshaw, Zyion Bryant, Saikee Turner, Nautica Goodson, Ma'Kel Goodson, Na'Kayla Goodson; great granddaughter, London Bradshaw; His siblings, Consythia "Nese" (Marcel) Barber of Statesville, Constantina "Tina" Mitchell of Winston Salem, and Mark Anthony Barber of Statesville; and a host of nieces, nephews, other grandchildren, family, and friends.
Fun facts about David: When he was younger, most people called him Ed; short for his middle name Edward. David was an avid fisherman. He enjoyed fishing with his cousin, Richard Barber. He enjoyed sitting on his porch, listening to "Old School" music and he was a Gamer. One favorite scripture that David and his sister enjoyed is found at Revelation 21:4 "And He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning, nor outcry, nor pain, be anymore. The former things have passed away."
A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, November 5, 2022, at 3:00 pm at Rutledge and Bigham, Statesville. Visitation will be from 2:30 - 3:00 pm at the funeral home.
