Teammates,
We are sad to
announce the passing of John Beaty on October 1st in Dallas, NC at the age of 82. John is survived by his children Terri, John, & Jeffrey & their spouses as well as many grandchildren & great grandchildren.
John served in the military for over 20 years, being stationed around the world including Vietnam. During his service he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, Meritorious Service Medal, Air Medal, Air Force Commendation Medal, as well as the Navy Commendation Medal with O-Device and Coast Guard Commendation Medal for his work with other branches.
John and Sara were fixtures at reunions and PJ gatherings for years where you could always count on John for his classic grin; he will be missed greatly.
Visitation for family & friends will be Sunday, October 6th at 5:00 – 7:00 pm at Holy Communion Lutheran Church, 103 West Church Street, Dallas, North Carolina.
Funeral Service will be 11:00 am, Monday, October 7th at Holy Communion Lutheran Church, 103 West Church Street, Dallas, NC with Dr. John Spencer officiating. Full military honors burial will follow at the family cemetery.
Some of us did not know John or just met him in passing with a hand shake. Those that worked with and knew John hold him in high regard as a PJ, who now joins the squadron of PJ Rescue Angels who have made their final jump.
