OLAN KEITH BARNETT

Olan Keith Barnett, age 72 of Middlesboro, Kentucky, passed away on February 10, 2026 at his home.

He was born February 20, 1953 in Middlesboro to the late Olan Ray and LouVernia Barnett. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother Delbert Barnett.

Keith was a true handyman with the talent to fix anything and everything – large or small. Because of his knack at being a “fixer-upper”, his family and friends could always turn to him for help for which he gladly would come.

A lover of nature, Keith enjoyed simply being surrounded by the mountains and enjoying the fresh air of the outdoors. He also had a fondness for music and loved to listen to a good tune. His exceptional handyman skills, his ability to fix any problem and his willingness to help others will be remembered by those who loved him, and a void left when the next thing needs fixing.

Left to cherish his memory, son Adam Barnett, daughter Jessica Rieman and husband Derek, brothers Harold Barnett and wife Brenda, Shannon Barnett, sisters Lucinda Porter and husband Christopher, Scharlotte Niebling and husband William, Allene Turner and husband Louie, Kathy Sutton and Kay Allen, grandchildren Andrew Barnett, Noah Barnett, Daisy Barnett, Chason Rieman and Westen Rieman, close family member and friend Micki Weed, special friends Timmy Wayne Barnett and Tommy Barnett, as well as a host of many other relatives and friends who will miss him so dearly.
