He was born November 24, 1950 to Sidney T. Sr. and Rayalene

the Chicago Morgan Park area. He attended Schoop Elementary School
and C.V.S. High School.
He later joined the United States Army, where he served his
country as a paratrooper from 1969-1972 where he then received an
honorable discharge. During this time, he met and married Angela
Transou on May 5, 1972. Out of this union came two sons. He then
went to McKellar Sipes Technical School for drafting in Jackson,
TN.
Sidney dedicated his life to Christ as a young boy where his
first spiritual teaching came from Bethel House of Prayer under the
leadership of Rev. Claude and Sister Lewis. Upon moving to
Bloomington, IL he became a member of Center for Hope Ministries
where he had served faithfully with different auxiliaries that he
served proudly. He worked for ISU as a Building Service Worker for
many years.
He has his father, Sidney, Sr.; sister, Deborah Barlow Hamlin;
one brother, Raymond Barlow; two nephews, Steven Wilson and Tory
Hunt who all have preceded him in death.
Sidney leaves behind to cherish his memories, his wife, Angela

(Calmeca) Evans of Springfield, IL; one daughter, Catrice Gilmore
of Dallas, GA; his loving mother, Rayalene Barlow of Jackson, TN;

grandchildren; two aunts, Ellen Carter and Roselyn Marie Barlow
both of Chicago, IL; one uncle, Edmond "Bo" Carter of Chicago; and
a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
He was proud to be a part of the Brotherhood Men's Group at
Center for Hope Ministries where many strong close relationships
were developed. They had Barbeques, fishing trips, and just
fellowshipping, which he was glad to be a part of.
Sidney was a dedicated family man. He loved spending time and
taking care of his grandchildren. He was a loving husband, dad,
grandpa, brother, uncle and friend who will be greatly missed by
all.
