Darwin “Dar” Beaty, born December 23, 1938, to John L and Amy Beaty, passed away on July 2, 2022.

He was married to his beautiful bride Doris Beaty for 60 years. He had a love of farming and spending time with family and friends. At any given time, you could find him in the garage, the garden, or on his porch swing. Known best in the truck pulling community for his engine building, Dar had a vast knowledge of all things engines. He enjoyed building them for his son, grandsons, and a few close friends. Dar was always looking after everyone else before he thought of himself. In a room full of people, everyone gravitated toward him. He loved telling stories of being in the army, his younger years with his brothers, dirt racing with his son, truck pulling, stories about his wife, granddaughters and grandsons, hunting, and his prized cabbage and watermelon plants.

Dar was proceeded in death by his father and mother (John L and Amy Beaty), sister Brenda Wyatt, and his loving wife Doris Beaty.

He is survived by his son Wade (Sheila) Beaty, granddaughter Ashley Lawson (Jeff Marshall), grandson Cody (Katherine) Beaty, great-granddaughter Hailey Lawson, great-grandson Bryson Lawson, 3 brothers Ed, Gene, and Gentry Beaty, and 2 sisters Danette and Glenda all of Crossville, Tn.
