Sgt. Albert R. “Albie” Haynes, II

Sgt. Albert R. “Albie” Haynes, II, 24, of Port Royal, South Carolina, formerly of Gardeau, PA, passed away unexpectedly from health-related illness in Florida, on Saturday morning (May 30, 2026).

He was born August 2, 2001 in Coudersport, PA, a son of Jerry and Lori Bennett Haynes of Gardeau.

Albie married Kaitlyn Haynes at Sizerville State Park in Emporium. Together they were eagerly awaiting the birth of their daughter, who is expected in August.

Albie graduated from Cameron County High School with the Class of 2020. Shortly after graduation, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, fulfilling a lifelong desire to serve his country. Through dedication, discipline, and strong leadership, he attained the rank of Sergeant. Albie was selected to serve as a Drill Instructor at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, where he was entrusted with the responsibility of training and mentoring young men and women entering the Marine Corps. He took great pride in developing recruits into United States Marines and was deeply committed to the Corps’ values of honor, courage, and commitment. His professionalism, leadership, and devotion to duty earned him the respect and admiration of fellow Marines, recruits, and commanders throughout his military career.

Albie will be remembered for his outgoing personality, infectious smile, and unwavering devotion to his family and friends. He enjoyed spending time outdoors, hunting, fishing, and making memories with those he loved most. Above all, he cherished his wife and looked forward with great excitement to becoming a father.

In addition to his wife and parents, Albie is survived by his maternal grandmother, Shirley Bennett of Florida; one sister, Kayla Mead (Ryan) of Port Allegany; three brothers, Steven Griffith of Buffalo, NY, David Griffith (Kerrianna) of Hillsboro, Texas, Brandon Haynes (Rebecca) of St. Marys; his sister-in-law, Ashley Burgett of Emporium; as well as several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, fellow Marines, and many friends.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Albert Haynes; paternal grandmother, Patricia Haynes; mother-in-law, Charmaine Burgett; and maternal grandfather, Clifford Bennett.

Visitation will be held at the Christian & Missionary Alliance Church, 1284 Sizerville Road, Emporium, PA 15834 on (Thursday, June 18, 2026), from 10:00 AM until 11:45 AM, followed by a funeral service at 12:00 PM with his uncle, Rev. Roger Bennett, officiating.

Burial with full military honors, conducted by fellow Marines, will be in Portage Township Cemetery, Gardeau, PA.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Kaitlyn Haynes, 3833 Gardeau Road, Austin, PA 16720, to establish a fund for their daughter.

Online Condolences may be placed at www.BarnettFuneralHome.net BARNETT FUNERAL HOME, Inc. entrusted with arrangements.

Help Jody Find a Kidney - How You Can Help

 

Hello Friends and Family,

As some of you know, I have been living with kidney disease for most of my life. I was diagnosed with kidney disease when I was pregnant with my second child. My nepherologist stated I had scarring from childhood and went undiagnosed all those years. Two years after that, my kidney problems were aggravated by chemotherapy treatments for a breast cancer diagnosis in 2000. I am now in End Stage Renal Failure. I have been doing peritoneal dialysis daily (two treatments per day) at home since March 2024. I have been approved by Mayo Clinic to receive a living kidney.

This letter is not to request that you donate, but rather a simple request for you to understand my story and help spread the word about how living donation can save my life and the lives of many others.

My passion in life has always been working with the community. I worked 30 years for non-profits and a library, doing family and children education outreach and hands-on activities, with art and STEM being my favorites. I continue to find my peace doing arts and crochet. I miss working with my community. I also miss water activities. Since starting dialysis, I am no longer allowed to enjoy water the same way I used to. Because of my dialysis catheter, I can no longer submerge in the water. The water is my happy place, whether it be a stream, a river, a lake, or the ocean.

Please share my story with as many people as you’d like. Your willingness to share may save a life.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

Jody Stejskal-Johnson

Why I Need a Kidney 
I have been living with kidney disease most of my life. After receiving chemotherapy due to breast cancer, my kidney function dropped and continued dropping through the years. I've been doing home dialysis treatments since March of 2024. Daily treatments take 6 to 7 hours per day. While it has become a way of life, I look forward to the days when I can leave home and not have to rush back to do treatments. Dialysis is a temporary fix for now, but a transplant would greatly improve my quality of life and prolong my life. I look forward to new adventures with my friends and family.

How You Can Help 
By sharing my story to your group of family and friends, you help to increase the number of people who may consider kidney donation.

You can also support me and other patients in need of a transplant by being screened to become a kidney donor with the NKR. The process is easy to complete and potential donors have access to the NKR’s nationwide donor support network.
