Daniel James Barkley III “beloved son, grandson, brother and friend”

RICHBURG, NY---Daniel James Barkley III, 20, a lifelong resident of Richburg, passed away unexpectedly at the home of his grandparents in Friendship on Monday, January 1, 2024, after suffering an apparent heart attack.

Born on Friday, January 17, 2003 in Olean, NY, he was a son of Daniel J. “Jamie” Jr. and Wendy L. Green Barkley.

Daniel was a graduate of Bolivar-Richburg High School in Bolivar.

Daniel enjoyed gaming. At the age of 10, he built his first gaming computer. He enjoyed hanging out with his family and friends. He spent many days and nights with his grandparents in Friendship. In 2013, Daniel’s father, Jamie, passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack while at work. His passing created a deep void in the lives of his family. Since Jamie’s passing, Daniel has carried his father’s wallet with him, giving him great comfort. Although Daniel was not a football fan, he spent many hours sharing in his mother’s passion for the Dallas Cowboys, helping her cheer the team on!! His greatest love was his family.
