Wow, I did not expect this. Thoughts and prayers for his family. Life goes to fast.

RIP '02.

Had no idea he was ill. Man this sucks.

RIP Jags02

Apparently he really declined quickly.  Cancer does suck.  My father-in-law died of the same type of cancer back in 1997.  Not a pretty way to go, but Fred definitely fought to the end.

RIP.. Will definitely be missed

I’m glad he was able to see his beloved jags play when he did!

I'll just throw this out there: remembering how into mock drafts he was and knowing how much he meant to this forum, is there a way to maybe memorialize him in the College forum somehow?

I'd like to see that happen myself..

Jags02 College Forum or something... or Fred's College Corner.

Very sad news.

Jags02 was a tremendous contributor to the Jaguars Message Board even before I became a member in early 2003. His passion for the Jacksonville Jaguars and knowledge about the team was immense. He was a pleasure to communicate with here. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Jags02.

Ugh, awful. I had no idea he was ill.

RIp, 02

Sad news indeed. A most respected poster and great fan of the team. My condolences to his family and friends.

RIP Fred (Jags02) Barnes

Cancer Sucks!

All Cap-related questions should be posted to the Jags02 Cap Corner

outside of Vic, he was the first one around here to really dig deep and clearly explain cap implications, and it's what I'll always remember him for.

So sorry to hear. Rest in Peace.

I had no idea, but then I've been mostly retired for the last two years. Several years ago I knew he had switched jobs, but didn't know he was battling cancer.

I met Fred last October when he cane back from his trip to Jacksonville. It almost looked like it wouldn't happen but I'm glad I put in the effort. By that time he was already in stage 4 so he didn't have much time left though he seemed optimistic despite this. He will be missed.

Godspeed, Fred.

I never meet jags02,but i talke to him a lot on here,and on a facebok page of mine.   I hope he rest in peace,its sad to lose a friend from the board here. at least he isn't suffering anymore now.  still sad,and he will be missed.

Honestly, I'm behind the eight ball on knowing Jags02 other that knowing him on our message board BUT, theres one thing that keeps resonating in my head. We the posters have somewhat become family. Since I've been posting on our board there's been a few to leave us behind. Even w/o knowing them personally, I've felt the grief of their departure. I Truly Do. All of our times will eventually come and I pray that I touch some of you like some has touched me.

RIH Jags02. Your posts Will Be Truly Missed.

NH3...
