April 28, 1947 - September 30, 2013


Calvin Barnhardt of 1355 Town Creek Road, Eden passed away Monday, Sept. 30, surrounded by his wife, Myla, and his children Amanda and Ross. He also is survived by his brother, John Barnhardt, sister-in-law, Lisa, and their children; his mother-in-law, Dottie Herlocker, and his brother-in-law, Tim Herlocker and family. He was the son of the late Mary and Clarence Barnhardt of Kannapolis. Calvin attended A.L. Brown High School in Kannapolis, N.C., and graduated from North Carolina State University in 1969, where he served as captain of the fencing team. He was an avid cyclist, a pastime he pursued with his family and friends. He was a lover of classic 60?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s tunes, a carry-over from his job as a deejay for the NCSU radio station. Calvin formerly served as the Vice President of Human Resources at Dan River Inc. and Best Textiles. He also worked in human resources at Fieldcrest/Cannon and served as the secretary of the Fieldcrest Foundation. But, his true devotion was his role as husband and father. Calvin will be missed by family, friends, his church family, cycling buddies, bible-study group and the many charitable organizations with which he was involved. His Memorial Service will be held Thursday, October 3, 2013 at 11 a.m. at First Presbyterian Church, 582 Southwood Drive, Eden. The family will receive friends at the church following the service.
