David Barnes Boffey, Ed D
July 16, 1945 - August 19, 2024

Barnes Boffey - teacher, author, counselor, role model, and friend to all transitioned into the "Light" Monday, August 19 surrounded by his family on his terms in his White River Junction, VT home.

Born with a contagious smile on his face, Barnes was an inspiration to all he met; finding qualities in all with whom he worked, lived, and loved.

In his parting, Barnes legacy was highlighted by his entries on CaringBridge sharing his reflective view of his personal transition from lift , as he described, "Light". His words were both insightful and direct about accepting what life is in one's final days. Barnes chose to control rather than be controlled by circumstances.

A detailed obituary can be found on CaringBridge. Updates will be shared here on the IAACT page as they are known. Our condolences go out to Adam, David, Sharon and Barnes extended family.

Barnes Boffey - an inspiration, mentor and friend to so many. Rest in "Peace" friend.
