A gentle soul with a cosmic heart, John Andrew Barber passed away leaving behind a legacy of love, music, and kindness. A beloved son, brother, dad, grandad, uncle, and friend to many, John was the kind of man who made connections wherever he went—age, culture, or belief never mattered; he saw people for who they were and welcomed them with warmth.

Towering in height and covered in tattoos, John’s appearance was striking, but it was his quiet nature and open heart that truly defined him. A gifted bass guitarist and a passionate lover of all music, he was a true cosmic voyage brother—always exploring, always tuned in to the rhythm of life.

John had a deep connection with animals, and Throughout his life, he shared his home with dogs, cats, snakes, and more—but in recent years, it was birds that held a special place in his heart.

We imagine him now soaring among them, free and at peace, taking his next journey through the universe—one with nature, one with the stars.

He will be deeply missed, but his spirit will echo in every song, every laugh, every open heart.
