John T. (Tom) Barbour, passed away peacefully at home and went to be with his Lord on December 10, 2020 at the age of 73. Tom was born in Camden, N.J. on November 4, 1947.  He is survived by his loving wife Barbara Barbour (nee Bell) and their four children, Rebecca MacAdam (Michael) of Saegertown, P.A., Tommy Barbour (Gina) of Ocean City, N.J., Lily Saavedra (Carlos) world citizens, Sarah Howard (Caleb) of Millville, N.J. and his brother, Jamie Barbour of Portland, Oregon. His father and mother and 5 other siblings preceded him in death.

In 1988, after spending many of their summers on Atsion Lake, Tom and Barbara built a log cabin and relocated to Laurel Lake.

Tom began his professional career as a chemical engineer, transitioned to establishing and maintaining a vibrant law practice in Maple Shade for 35 years, and continued as the Executive Director of the Willingboro Municipal Utilities Association. He later served as the Director of the Christian Life Center as well as pastor of the Christian Life Church in Waveland, Mississippi, after being impacted by the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Tom enjoyed spending time with and teasing his 12 grandchildren (Levi, Emma, Cora and Toby MacAdam, Caeli and Kaia Barbour, Carly, Elia, Lucas and Lila Saavedra, and Ava and Bethany Howard), sunsets on the lake, and caring for people in need. To all who knew him, however, his favorite people to spend time with and to mention were his Savior Jesus Christ and his beloved wife, Barbara of 49 years.

Celebration of life will be held on Saturday, December 19 at Living Faith Alliance Church, 1987 S. Lincoln Ave, Vineland. Visitation will be at 1:00pm, followed by a 2:00pm service. All are welcome to attend. Pastor Basil Watson will be officiating. Burial will be private.
