Forrest David Barnes, 61, Gladstone, MO passed away March 26, 2008 at his home. David was born Dec 18, 1946 in Kansas City, MO. He worked for eleven years with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Four Years District Manager (MO, KS, IA, NE) and was named #1 District Manager in the country. David also worked for seven years with the National Small Business Association as a Regional Manager, where he lead his region to the top region in the country. During the fourteen years mentioned above, David developed a strong appreciation for small business people. David worked with hundreds of local chambers of commerce and other small business groups and gained first hand knowledge of what works and what does not.

He wanted BizNet-KC to become the premier networking organization in the country. He was very proud of the quality business people that were members of his groups.

    Dear Family,
    Thank you for the trust you have placed in Heartland Cremation & Burial Society. You Dad was a great teacher and a great business connector. I always enjoyed his Biznet meeting and was proud to be associated with Biznet for about five years.

    Dear Angie and family, My thoughts are with you at this time of loss, I’m an old Biznet connection with Andrew and have to say looking back Dave was responsible for getting our feet wet in the world of networking. I feel like I learned a lot from Dave and the Biznet experience. I appreciate the opportunity to have worked with him. Brian Cannon
