On January 23, 1945, just one day after his 22nd birthday, Private Barnabe was sent out on a scouting mission around the enemy lines at Gennep, Middelaar, the Netherlands. He and two other soldiers, Private A. J. Taschereau and Private G. N. Cyrenne was fired upon by a Schmeizer machine gun from 15 feet away. Barnabe and the two others scattered in a hedgerow. The two others escaped, but Barnabe did not.
Initially, the Canadian army reported him officially as being missing in February but much later confirmed as killed in action. Jean-Paul was 22 years old.
