Brother David Edmon Beaty, age 74, of Guin was called home to be the Lord on Saturday, August 17, 2024, just one day before his 75^th birthday. Brother Beaty dedicated his whole life to serving the Lord. He preached the word of God for almost 60 years. He spoke almost 10,000 sermons and brought countless souls to know the Lord. He lived and breathed the word of God daily. Brother Beaty loved his family beyond measure. He spent 56 years married to his loving wife Barbara. Their love for each other was like something straight out of a fairytale. David taught his family so much about work, life, and how to live for the Lord. He worked for many years in autobody shops, repairing and restoring cars. This was a passion that he was honored to hand down to his children and grandchildren. He taught all his family to trust, have faith, and to leave everything in the hands of God. He will be greatly missed by so many, but his life will always be remembered as the true testimony of God he was.
